RE: Self-discipline is much more required than motivation in Business
Dear @ireti
I came here because @tfame3865 mentioned your post in his recent publication.
Abother interesting topic. Solid read, surely worth discussion.
There is a more effective power in self-discipline than motivation, we may choose to listen to motivational messages every morning and night and then get our souls energized and ready for work but no matter how motivated we are if we fail to discipline ourselves, we will never be able to achieve the success we desire.
You nailed it. Listening to motivational speaches can pump us up. But it's usually very short-lived boost.
Art of self-discipline is not easy to develop. Most people are failing big time and are discouraged easily.
There is however one problem with self-discipline I see. Sometimes we want so badly to feel like we're dedicated and self-disciplined, that we're becoming blind to the fact that we're engaged in business/project which is simply not going to work out. We may end up wasting time by putting so much efforts into something, which is destined to fail.
Wouldn't you agree?
Have a great monday ahead :)
Yours, Piotr
