Can You Rely Purely on Self-Discipline to Succeed? 6

I made a video about self-discipline and suc­cess today.

After my last blog post, I had some emails say­ing “wow, you have  lot of self-discipline because I can’t miss my favorite TV shows”. That’s not an accu­rate statement.

The truth is, self-discipline is great to help you get started on your jour­ney to suc­cess but its not the best com­pan­ion because its not always dependable.

Hey, I’m human. I like watch­ing movies too. So what I do is that I don’t have a TV in my home to start with (I’ve not had access to a TV for the last 5 years).  That way I do not have to fight with myself to focus on pro­duc­tive things like my fam­ily, my health and my income streams.

I must con­cede, that I do have a HD pro­jec­tor and a DVD player for watch­ing inspir­ing movies. But the best part of that set up is that I get to choose WHEN I watch and WHAT I watch.

Any­way, I  hope you like this video where I share my secret strat­egy for mak­ing sure that I always do the right things towards my goals.

Hi!

You are so right!!I have con­science that not defin­ing objec­tive goals and have an orga­nized plan to achive them is con­fus­ing my entire life. Tele­vi­sion dis­tracts me from this thought and it’s like fly­ing over life, instead of liv­ing it. I’ve noticed that when I don’t watch tele­vi­sion, I’m more inspired and do things in an accu­rate way.

It’s incred­i­ble how we have the answers but all­ways find excuses to con­tinue to act all­ways the same way.

Thank you for this warn­ing :)

Hi Brian,
–5 STARS
Very Nice, and you make a very good point (about con­trol­ing our envi­ron­ment).
I really liked your TWO POINTS, Have Spe­cific Knowl­edge and TAKE ACTION.
I am try­ing to find my “Cookie Cut­ter” but I think I am get­ting closer. My “Mind Movie” has really helped me visu­al­ize on what I want from life. (Its on my blog, can you find it?).
Look­ing for­ward to learn­ing MUCH more from you.
Thanks Much!

I hon­estly have to say you make a lot of sense i live my life very sim­liar to yours, I dont read news­pa­pers, i dont watch the news, I do have a TV for my fam­ily and watch it when i feel like it… When you talk about invest­ing in your self I have been doing that and recently invested in Rich Dad Poor Dad train­ing as i want to buy prop­erty, im a new­bie to inter­net Mar­ket­ing and spent £2,000 on Train­ing with the Arbi­trage Con­spir­acy, i didnt have the money but i new i had to invest in my self to get the Knowl­edge i need to suc­ceed, and same now with prop­erty i no noth­ing, but i will.., I believe im being guided by God, The Uni­verse, higher self, and always have been but now im con­scious of it, and its won­der­ful, My econ­omy is great by the way, I dont have lots of friends tho these days as they are stuck in THE Econ­omy, and my enthu­si­asm for life and Opti­mism for my future dosent always hit home with them..Brian Thank You for today, if you have any resources you per­son­ally rec­om­mend i would love to here about them.

A while back I used to think, for sure just host par­ties and let peo­ple hang out. It’s fun to have company.

But the com­pany ended up being some­one I wasn’t on the best terms with and it got repet­i­tive to the point where they could just come and go as they pleased.

So I locked every­thing down and said “naw, sorry, I have to be there too”.

Then things changed! It was like was said. Once you have your envi­ron­ment actu­ally sup­port­ing you, then you work like half as hard and achieve at least twice as much.

Every­time you have a reminder of your per­sonal fail­ure it’s a shock­ing blow. Take it away and the equa­tion changes.

I think that’s why Fung Shui is THOUSANDS of years old.
