Yesterday I talked about patience.

How it gives you power.

And, how one of my 2014 goals is to have more patience, and use this attribute to accomplish more in all the important areas of my life (business, personal, family, etc).

Here’s another 2014 goal:

SELF DISCIPLINE

I have more than most people I know.

But, I still fall way short.

And thus, I want to have more.

This idea of having lots of self discipline is something I’ve thought a lot about ever since I first read Dan Kennedy’s excellent (“must read”) book “NO BS Time Management” waaaay back in 2002.

But, like with patience, I lost a lot of it in 2013.

And, like with patience, I had to rediscover it.

And not a moment too soon… because recently I got to thinking about how the times when I have the most self discipline are the times when I have the most control over myself, when I have the most patience, when I have peak health and energy levels, when I make the best decisions… and when I kick ass all around in my business and personal life — where everything just kind of falls into place.

It’s like a “magic pill” for success.

On the other hand…

When my self discipline falters, it’s the opposite.

Sales shrivel up.

My personal life goes into the dumpster.

And, I then have to work twice as hard to get things back to where they were before when I finally pull my head out of my bootay and get back into a disciplined frame of mind.

So anyway, that’s another 2014 goal:

To have more self discipline.

More tomorrow.
