People have this negative connotation associated with the word discipline, but for me
It comes down to self-discipline and self-discipline today
for me is like waking up early
Waking up at 4:30
Going to the gym, getting e-mails done. That is self-discipline
because it's going to be good for me
and that what's this vlog is gonna be about.
Welcome to a new vlog. Ready, set, go.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
When I was 10 years old. Ahhh
I used to come home every day after school and I would take my jacket off or 
 I would throw it on the ground
Or like throw it near my back hall closet.
This is because I knew my mom would hang it up.
And then one day
My dad comes home early from work
And he sees that my jacket is on the floor
And he calls me down and he says "Why is your jacket on the floor ?"
And I said
"I don't know" and he said, "Your jacket always needs to be hanged up".
It's not your mother's job.
And now
You have to go to your room and you need to write an essay on the importance of
not being lazy. I had to sit there
On my computer. An old computer is that.
And figure out how to write this essay on not being lazy. It had to be 10 pages
It was this awful experience. It took me forever
And because I was so terrified that my dad is gonna make me do it again
Or yell at me or something
I've never once dropped my jacket on the floor.
That is how my dad taught me self-discipline.
Hey. Thanks, man.
Okay. I will see you later.
But you have to remember that no one is born
With self-discipline. We all learn it in some way
Shape or form. And like I said this morning
On the way to the gym. I was taught self-discipline
Because of I had a reward, right?
Which was not being grounded and I had a risk,
Which was, shit, if I don't write this essay,
And I turn it into my Dad, I'm going to be in trouble. Right?
I will be grounded. So there is a risk and reward
Like, what are your weaknesses?
What are the things that you care about changing?
Is your weakness your weight? Right now stop this video. Go to your kitchen
Throw out all the crap that you eat, that you own
this is putting on weight. Delete the app on your phone that delivers things.
Drive the other way home that doesn't take you by McDonald's.
If you're wasting time, all the time, and you're not doing enough.
Then I want you to go into your phone and delete all the apps that are taking up
too much of your time. The news apps that you're reading for no stupid reason.
The games that you play for no stupid reason.
If you want to know more people, if you think your network is too small
and you want to grow your business, start right now.
Reach out to five people, DM five people.
Email five people right now, tell them why they should know you
and why you should work with them and then follow up with them every single week
until they respond. You want to make more money?
Take the money you do have and put it away. Lock it up.
By the end of the month, how much money do you have?
Next month, save an extra five dollars a day. Right? What's five times thirty?
The next month save ten dollars a day if you can.
Get an accountability buddy for everything
Remove every temptation and we're going to call it an accountabuddy.
Find an accountabuddy and tell them, do not let me eat this.
Do not let me spend this money.
Promise me you will help me do that. And they will appreciate it,
and say you'll do the same thing for them. Maybe they have some fucked up temptation that they have no discipline for.
You're going to help them do the same thing,
that they're helping you with,
and you're both going to be accountabuddies for the same exact reason.
Once you figure out what your weaknesses are,
and you remove those temptations and you get it outta sight and outta mind.
Then you set goals. You set goals and you set rewards.
And you set goals that can be quick.
Make them hourly goals, make them daily goals. Make them weekly goals, monthly goals,
whatever you need to do. So figure out what rewards can be for you.
Maybe your reward for you is vacation.
So set up a vacation to a place you always wanted to go to but could never afford
Book it right now.
Have it terrify you. Put it six months in the future,
and know you're only going to be able to afford it,
if you do the work that you need to do and figure out how to get around those weaknesses that you have
and put those temptations off to the side. If you do that,
that vacation is then going to push you to make more, to get yourself
in better shape, so you can take that photo or whatever else makes you happy
when you're on that beach by the time you finally get there.
Don't be one of those people who just tries to pull off the bandaid
or like jump into the cold pool.
Don't just go to extremes, cause you've never going to keep it up.
You're then that person who at the end of every year says
Man, I wanna get into shape. You go get a membership, you show up for three weeks
In January and you don't show up again because you go back to old habits.
That's not how you build self-discipline. Okay?
You don't just jump in head first, you take baby steps.
Start by going to the gym for 10 minutes.
Start by waking up and doing 10 sit-ups and 10 push-ups.
Start with little baby steps. And if you fuck up one day,
don't beat yourself up about it Okay? Forgive yourself.
And then move on
because the next day the sun is going to rise and everything
is going to be okay. And no one cares.
Just remember that.
You 're the only one who cares. So you're the
only one you need to forgive. No one else is going to forgive
you for making mistakes with how you want to better
improve yourself. You're the one who has to forgive yourself.
And no one else is going to reward you either. Because they're all working on their own shit.
So you have to be the one who rewards yourself.
If you're thinking about the fact that you have
poor self-discipline and you want to do something about it,
don't wait til tomorrow, watch this video again
tomorrow morning, and then start a change.
Don't wait til Monday when you get back from this business trip, or from this thing
or because you got this test on Friday and you want to wait til the weekend.
Start today. Start right now. Stop this video
right now and start something that you've been wanting to start
for the last year. For the last two years.
Whatever it is because no one is going to care
that you didn't do what you told yourself you were going to do. Because if you wait til tomorrow,
tomorrow turns into never. That's exactly what happens.
And then five years goes by, and then 10 years
goes by. And you're that person standing on the street corner looking back at the
at the time and wondering what happened. Where did everything go?
How come that person went past me? How come she went past me?
Instead of somebody who says, this is how it happened.
Right? A how it happened person. You're going to be a how come it didn't happen
And that's what happens when you wait for the next day, and you wait for the next day.
And the last but not least, do not give up on yourself.
You are the one person who can actually turn it around.
No one else is going to help you. No one else is going to tell you what to do.
You're the only person who has all of the willpower
to turn everything around for yourself.
That's it. End of vlog.
