This is about one word

There is a word that can and will make a huge difference in a person's future. That word is discipline. I'm sure you know someone who you might describe as being "a very disciplined person."  You probably say that because that person seems to make progress in whatever he or she might be doing regardless of surroundings or what people may say about them.

I think we go through various phases of life where we experience discipline.  Allow me to try to explain what I mean.  When I was a small boy I had the knack for doing or saying things I shouldn't do or say. My mother would discipline me.   My mother was a very gentle but tough lady. When she said something you had better be paying attention. I loved being on athletic teams and I recall hearing the word "discipline." I joined the Marine Corps two weeks out of high school.   What I learned there was another level of discipline. I think my definition of discipline in all those years would have been the word "punishment!"

But once I started this business the word discipline became more positive. Today I look at discipline as consistency of action, consistency working on long-term goals, consistency with attempting to get better at developing skills. This is called self-discipline and of course when someone is disciplining themselves in business it means that you have that inner drive or will to do whatever it takes to create a positive outcome, no matter how difficult it may seem to be.

I find that being self disciplined is very positive in today's world because it is what has helped me and countless others make progress in what it is we choose to do. A self-disciplined person learns to say "no" to things that they know isn't the right thing for them.  

It's never too late to be self-disciplined.   It's a strong positive if you want to build this business. Why not decide to be that person who makes a decision to work with consistency like never before. I've also learned that once you are disciplined it becomes a very positive habit. Do something about your business every day and you are on your way to a higher level of success.

Enthusiastically,
