Motivation comes and goes; that’s why it is so important to stay disciplined so that when it goes you don’t get off track on the way to completing your goals. It is unreasonable to assume that you can walk in and accomplish a goal on a dime. Setting short term goals is the best way to gradually work towards accomplishing your long term goals. Staying disciplined can be natural by having habits, balance, and a great support system from family and friends.
When you really put your mind to something, you either do it or you don’t. If you’re happy doing what you are doing, you don’t have to work 80 hours a week to grow. At some point you have enough money to have everything you want. Recognize when life is ideal. When it comes to accomplishing your goals, whether it be short term or long term, try to do the hardest thing first. In that regard, the path to achieving your dreams is all downhill after that.
In this episode, we talk about…
- Habits to stay disciplined when motivation is low
- The importance of having a great support system
- Chris’s lessons learned from serving in the Marines
- Working up gradually to meet your goals
- Mental toughness vs. physical toughness
- Keeping your life balanced while staying disciplined
- The battle between being happy where you are and taking a risk to grow
