The Practice of Discipline & 7 Steps to Success

The Practice of Discipline & 7 Steps to Success by Brian Tracy


Discipline yourself to do what you know you need to do to be
the very best in your field. Perhaps the best definition of
self discipline is this: "Self discipline is the ability to
make yourself do what you should do when you should do it,
whether you feel like it or not."

It is easy to do something when you feel like it. It's when
you don't feel like it and you force yourself to do it
anyway that you move your life and career onto the fast
track.

What decisions do you need to make today in order to start
moving toward the top of your field? Whatever it is, either
to get in or get out, make a decision today and then get
started. This single act alone can change the whole
direction of your life.

Seven Steps to Success...

There is a powerful seven step formula that you can use to
set and achieve your goals for the rest of your life. Every
single successful person uses this formula or some variation
of this formula to achieve vastly more than the average
person. And so can you. Here it is:

Decide What You Want...
Step number one, decide exactly what it is you want in each
part of your life. Become a "meaningful specific" rather
than a "wandering generality."

Write It Down...
Second, write it down, clearly and in detail. Always think
on paper. A goal that is not in writing is not a goal at
all. It is merely a wish and it has no energy behind it.

Set A Deadline...
Third, set a deadline for your goal. A deadline acts as a
"forcing system" in your subconscious mind. It motivates you
to do the things necessary to make your goal come true. If
it is a big enough goal, set sub-deadlines as well. Don't
leave this to chance.

Make A List...
Fourth, make a list of everything that you can think of that
you are going to have to do to achieve your goal. When you
think of new tasks and activities, write them on your list
until your list is complete.

Organize Your List...
Fifth, organize your list into a plan. Decide what you will
have to do first and what you will have to do second. Decide
what is more important and what is less important. And then
write out your plan on paper, the same way you would develop
a blueprint to build your dream house.

Take Action...
The sixth step is for you to take action on your plan. Do
something. Do anything. But get busy. Get going.

Do Something Meaningful Every Day...
Do something every single day that moves you in the
direction of your most important goal at the moment. Develop
the discipline of doing something 365 days each year that is
moving you forward. You will be absolutely astonished at how
much you accomplish when you utilize this formula in your
life every single day.

Action Exercises:

First, decide exactly what you want, write it down with a
deadline, make a plan and take action - on at least one goal
- today!

Second, determine the price you will have to pay to achieve
this goal and then get busy paying that price - whatever it
is.
