The 5 ways I built my discipline to build a $6,000,000 business:

I developed discipline out of necessity.

When I was a drug addict, I hit rock bottom.

I knew I either had to:

1. Become disciplined
2. Or be a fucking loser for the rest of my life

I used these 5 principles to develop my discipline and built a $6,000,000 business:

Honestly assess yourself.

People stay losers because they delude themselves into thinking they’re hot shit.

Put your ego aside.

Honestly look at yourself:

Are you lazy?
Do you eat like shit?
Are you unskilled at your job?

You can't work on problems until you identify them.

Visualize the worst.

You’ll only change when the pain of staying the same is stronger than your fear of failure.

You NEED to feel pain to change.

Don’t just visualize your goals, visualize the consequences if you don’t take action toward them.

Turn fear into discipline.

Visualize your kid, who doesn’t respect you because you gave up on your goals.

Visualize looking your wife in the eyes and saying you lost the house.

Visualize feeling regret on your deathbed.

Fucking feel it.

Pain will drive you more than desire.

Create a plan.

You don’t take action because you don’t know what to do.

Want to lose 20lbs?

Define the daily actions that’ll help you.

If you don’t know, Google it.

Write the steps down and keep them in view.

At the end of the day, measure if you did them.

Reinforce the habit of showing up.

Don’t feel like going to the gym?
Go for 5 minutes.

Don’t feel like reading 1 chapter?
Read 1 page.

Make the goal easy and you'll be more likely to follow through.

9/10 times, once you start, you’ll keep going.

Do 1 small habit.

Pick 1 easy habit that you can do for the rest of your life.

* Meditate 10 minutes
* Read 5 pages
* Walk for 20 minutes

Doesn’t matter if you’re sick or tired.

Force yourself to do it.

This’ll develop your trait of discipline.
