Do You Make These Mistakes When Trying to Be Disciplined?
​
If you know what discipline actually is, you will be ahead of 99% of people because almost all of us get it wrong.
But this is book promotion, right? Yeah, but I promise to provide you with a lot of value in this post alone, so it will be worth reading. As I said in my earlier post, I don't want to be sneaky, which is why I tell everyone this is a book promotion in advance.
Anyways, so what exactly is discipline? If you ask somebody that, they will probably say something like showing up every day.
But if not this, then what?
Okay, I am not against that definition, but it is incomplete. Discipline is the ability to work consistently irrespective of your mood, while constantly improving at what you are doing.
Well, how does this fancy definition help me?
Now that you know what discipline is, you can break it down to create systems, so you can be disciplined without having to watch motivational videos every other day.
So, to be disciplined, you should:
Have a system to track whether you are doing it every single day or not, and track the days you are slacking off so you can fix what's wrong.
Have a plan to constantly improve at what you are doing.
Do things irrespective of how you are feeling, which comes down to your mindset.
Next, I will tell you why people fail at doing this.
But before that, I should let you know my book has systems that take care of #1 and #2, and a full chapter dedicated to #3 about mindset. I bet your mindset will not be the same once you read that.
Anyways, let me keep that aside for a moment and give some more value.
You know, most people fail because they don't get back up after a failure.
Quite ironic, right?
Let me give you one of the two reasons, which is in my book, for why that happens.
And that is:
"They Blame It on Their Personality"
By saying things like:
"I'm not made for this."
"I just don't have what it takes."
"Maybe this is not for me."
And so on.
You should absolutely not do that at all. The moment you link failures to your personality, you close all the doors for moving forward, and your brain starts collecting evidence to not get back up again.
So don't you ever blame failures on your personality.
I go into more detail on that topic in my book.
I know that if you read my book, you will become the person you want to be in no time.
Because it has everything from how to start, what mindset to have, systems to track progress, how to improve constantly, how to keep moving despite failures, and so on.
I have taken courses costing up to $5,000, and not even one of them gave me a complete system to be disciplined and succeed in life. This book gives you a complete system, unlike them.
