In this Mindset Monday episode of Properties to Profits, I break down the difference between motivation and discipline—and why only one of them leads to lasting results. Motivation fades. Discipline is what carries you when nothing is going your way. I share the hard truth about what it really takes to grow your business, transform your body, or level up any area of your life.
I walk you through the four stages every goal goes through—emotion, excitement, discipline, and growth—and show you how to push through the wall that makes most people quit. Whether you’re in a rut, stuck in your job, or ready to finally see results, this episode will give you the perspective and strategy to stay consistent when it counts most.
