People who are successful in life have all developed self-discipline.
Discipline is also crucial for service providers, especially for entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs have no bosses to watch over them or make sure that they are getting their jobs done. They have to be their own bosses. They have to supervise their own behavior.
Part of discipline is to determine whether you are using your time effectively and efficiently to produce the results you set out to produce and provide the optimum benefit to those you are trying to help.
Discipline also requires you to be clear about your purpose. The clearer your purpose in life, the more focused you will be on the areas that are really important in your life. Once you’re focused, you’ll know which areas to delegate, which areas to throw completely out the window, and which areas to give your best resources.
Discipline, purpose, and focus are three powerful ingredients of success! However, without discipline, it is difficult to remain focused and to translate purpose into action.
