Are you motivated or are you disciplined? Well, what's the difference?
Let me tell you…
Motivation comes when something is new or exciting or maybe when you’ve got an amazing stroke of inspiration. You’re knocking things off your to-do list left and right. You’re going 300 miles per hour and the creative juices are flowing and you’re in the freaking zone! Discipline is when it’s taken twice as long to get this one stupid thing done than I planned. My kid brought a whole bucket of sand in the house and dumped it on the couch and I haven't slept well in three days, but I’m still finishing this landing page if it's the last thing I do!
Life is going to happen. Things are going to take longer than you planned. It's not always going to be sunshine and rainbows. You are not always going to be motivated, and that's when you need to rely on being disciplined. Discipline is what's going to make you motivated. Let me repeat that - Discipline is what’s going to MAKE you motivated.
Did you finally make a sale after following up with that person 12 times, after answering all their crazy questions and making all those phone calls? That’s pretty damn motivating! Did your landing page add 400 new people to your mailing list who are excited to buy into your next launch? How motivating was that?? It's only when we get it out of our heads that we have to be motivated to get things done that we’re going to be successful.
Practice discipline, motivation will come.
