Using Discipline to Accomplish Big Goals

Discipline versus motivation: Discipline entails completing necessary tasks to achieve significant goals even on days or at times when you lack motivation. Motivation, on the other hand, involves pursuing actions aligned with your life's overarching goals when you do feel motivated. While motivation initiates your efforts, discipline sustains your progress even during challenging times.

In today's episode, Dan Dowdy dives into a topic that will aid you in achieving significant goals, whether they're personal or business-related. This video will equip you with strategies to accomplish these goals, focusing specifically on discipline. He'll be sharing five tips to enhance your discipline and drive your progress forward.

Keep moving forward; avoid becoming frustrated if the day doesn't unfold as planned or if a sub-goal isn't achieved according to the initial plan. Instead, shift your mindset because challenges will arise, and you'll need to adapt. You might need to change your approach and your language. My aim with this video is to empower you to tackle your goals head-on and overcome any obstacles you encounter.

1. Begin with Why: First things first – begin with why. Look to the future and define your objective. Shift your mindset from "I have to" to "I get to." Embrace long-term thinking over short-term gains.

2. Share Your Why with Your Accountability Partner: Next, share your why with someone who'll hold you accountable. When motivation wanes, your accountability partner will be there to remind you of your purpose and keep you on track.

3. Set a Timeline to Accomplish the Goal: Finally, set a timeline for your goal. Without one, life will inevitably get in the way. Break down your goal into manageable steps and stick to them diligently. Remember, consistency is key.

4. When you fall short don’t try to make it up or you will get injured or burned out and quit. Just move on learn and keep going.

5. Reframe you mindset - you get to do this! Enjoy the journey!
