Remember: We are not just talking about money here. This refers to being successful in all areas of life—and to do so, you will not be able to compromise this thing called discipline. Discipline is an orderly, prescribed conduct that will get you what you want—and it\’s a requirement for 10X players. Unfortunately, most peoples\’ disciplines look more like bad habits instead of the—admittedly uncomfortable—10X actions they should be taking over and over again.
Discipline is what you use to complete any activity until the activity—regardless of how uncomfortable—becomes your normal operating procedure. In order to ever attain and keep success, you must determine which habits are constructive—and discipline both yourself and your group (see point 28, January 23 post) to do those things over and over again.
If you find you do not have all of the previously mentioned success traits and habits—or you see yourself having most or some of them most of the time but occasionally fall off a bit—no worries. I would expect that most of the people reading this don\’t consistently display every single one of these qualities all the time. Become aware of what the list is, keep it close to you, and make a new commitment to making these techniques part of who you are rather than merely something you “do.” Although I don\’t personally operate in the success column 100 percent of the time, I do make efforts to ensure that I spend most of my time doing what successful people do.
None of the things on this list the last 32 days is a superhuman quality. Every single one is attainable. Don\’t use just one or two of the techniques. Start thinking and operating with them, and they will become a part of you. Use them all.
