Key Takeaways:
✔️ Mental discipline is built through small, daily, intentional actions—not just motivation.
✔️ The biggest obstacle to change is inconsistency; habits require at least 60–100 days of repetition to stick.
✔️ Accountability plays a crucial role in success—joining a community or having an accountability partner can significantly improve adherence.
✔️ Focusing on triggers rather than just behaviors can make habit formation easier and more sustainable.
✔️ High-performance teams thrive when personal and professional growth are integrated.
✔️ Resilience comes from taking control of what you can do, rather than dwelling on external circumstances.
