Too many of us set vague goals. We want to be healthy or wealthy. We wanted to be more disciplined, but we don’t know what that discipline looks like. Direction is much more important than speed.
Willpower is the last thing that you should rely on. The trick is to change your environment, hold yourself accountable, and set small goals so that you never have to worry about being motivated 24/7.
You can’t develop self-discipline if you allow any of the following to distract you: – Everything that’s happening on the news – Notifications from 8 different social media apps – Arguing with strangers on Facebook
How can you make your goals easy? – Know yourself. – Work within your limits. – Focus on progress over perfection.
How can you hold yourself accountable? – Hire a coach so that you’re financially committed. – Find co-workers/friends on a similar path. – Make your goals public.
