Description

In this episode, I share the behind-the-scenes of a keynote presentation that I'm delivering to incoming college students and their parents. After talking to my son who is a college athlete who serves in the military, I chose a lesson that has elevated my own life and led to greater levels of success. Success means different things to different people – success can be financial health, physical health, depth of relationships, or your contributions to the world. But we can all agree that success feels better – that a lifestyle of success is something to strive for. The key to success is found in daily habits and daily discipline. I dive into the concept of discipline and how it shows up in various stages of life. If you want to think bigger about your life and your future, this episode is for you.

"Success is not convenient. If it were, everybody would do it, but it's worth it. Now you get to define what success looks and feels like in your life, and there's so many ways to define it."

Key points: 

  • "We must all suffer one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons." - Jim Rohn 

  • Success requires you to show up even when you don't want to. 

  • Success requires you to shut down distractions and go the extra degree in your own work. 

  • The pain of discipline can be applied to your chapter of life, based on where you need to get better, to grow or to advance. 

  • Doors will open in life when you do things that were not asked of you to help or serve others, even things that are time-consuming or tedious.
