Self-discipline seems to be an "old fashioned" concept, and not too many people talk about self-discipline these days.

If you want to be a top athlete then you need to spend years training, building up your skills and getting stronger and better all the time. It takes self-discipline to keep pushing yourself, to get out of bed early in the mornings, to go to the gym when you feel tired and to work through pain.

If you want to be an entrepreneur you will need self-discipline to keep a positive attitude when those around you are losing faith, to keep working for peanuts when the bills are mounting, to put in long hours doing every job that needs doing instead of taking a nice pay cheque to work for someone else.

If you want to be a good salesperson it takes self-discipline to pound out those calls, to get out and meet potential clients, to accept the rejection, to build new relationships and to build your "book of business".

If you want to be good at any career it takes self-discipline to establish good work habits, to push yourself to continually learn, to get outside your comfort zone and to not be distracted from your goal.

The problem with self-discipline is that it is hard... by its very nature it means making choices that are focused on an end goal, rather than the "easy choices". Almost anything that you can do to better yourself or to improve your life requires some self-discipline.

It may be old fashioned, it may be tough but I believe that someone who has self-discipline is a long way down the road to success... because they can achieve anything!
