What an awesome quote “success through self discipline.†I love it!!
I don’t know who said it but one day I was driving along past a primary school and “success through self discipline†was their slogan….and it’s completely true.
The only way to succeed is to be self disciplined. I have been self-discplined for most of my life. As an elite athlete I had to watch my diet, go to training, budget my finances, research my opponents and do everything else that goes in to being an elite athlete.
Internet marketer and author of Turbulence Training, Craig Ballantyne recently outlined his daily routine that never changes.
430 wakes up and has a coffee
500-700 am writes articles
7-8am walks his dog
8-9 works on early to rise
9-11 contacts his turbulence training affiliate marketers
11-1230 business planning for early to rise
And the times go on.
Craig finishes work at 3pm and spends the rest of the day socializing with family and friends. He also says that he goes to bed at 9pm every single night.
From Craig’s schedule you can see he is disciplined – that’s why he makes money on line, that’s why he is successful.
He is disciplined.
People cannot lose weight because they cannot stop eating bad foods.
They are not disciplined eaters.

If you want to succeed in your chosen field or profession – then be disciplined!!
Some people are struggling with their finances and constantly have no money- but they don’t follow a basic budget and buy everything in sight.
They are not disciplined with their finances.
There is an awesome quote by Michael Phelps who says “if you can’t be bothered getting out of bed at 6am to train then you can’t be bothered winning a gold medal at the Olympics.â€
Both Michael Phelps and Craig Ballantyne are dicsplined people. They get up early and work hard. They are leaders in their own field because they work hard.
Once you become moreÂdisciplined in your day to day habits the more ‘in line’ your life will become.
So if you are looking at succeeding in business, sport, health or anything the key is to be disciplined in what you do.
Proverbs 12:24 in the bible says “work hard and become a leader, be lazy and never succeed.â€
Work hard…
be a leader….and succeed.
Have a great week ahead,
Matt
