Transforming Motivation Into Discipline

Today’s topic is actually one that was requested by Greg. In the last episode, I mentioned at the end that if anyone had any topic suggestions that they wanted to share, please do so. You can comment below on this episode page and share your thoughts or suggestions!

At first, I wasn’t sure about this topic of motivation over discipline. My brain immediately went to “avoiding procrastination” and I think that’s a very high-level and over-discussed topic.

We all know to procrastinate less and put in more work, right?

I’m also a pretty disciplined person. I always have been. So my first thoughts were also that maybe I'm not the person to help here when it comes easily to me. But then I realized... Wait, it's not always easy for me.

So, I thought about how I feel when I'm struggling with discipline. What DO I feel and WHY do I feel it? What’s hindering my discipline?

Maybe this is different for everyone, but I do think that what I'm sharing in this episode can help everyone in some way.

We're here today because motivation is the easy part. It's easy to get motivated for a new diet, to learn a new language, or to even start a business.

What's not so easy is turning that motivation into discipline to follow through on your desires and intentions. Sure, having a plan helps tremendously. But it's more than that.

That's what we're discussing in today's episode.
