Bill Zimmerman's Weekly Tip - Do You Have Self-Discipline?

I hope you're making the most of your Monday. Monday's can be difficult days to get back into the swing of things, but you can do it! In fact, I've got a tip for you today to remind you that it's really all about self-discipline.

I know, I know... Self-discipline is difficult. It's hard to keep focused on doing the things you need to do to have a productive, satisfying day at work. But, think about your productive days or hours for a moment. Doesn't it make you feel good when you remember the positive, winning feeling of a good, solid day of work? I know I do - and I'm sure you can relate.

On it's surface, self-discipline at work is really just made up of a few simple bullet points. But, oh how difficult they can be sometimes. Here's a review of the basics:

Self-Discipline
(from No BS Time Management for Entrepreneurs, by Dan Kennedy)


· Show up…


· Show up on time…


· Show up on time ready to work! So few do.


· It takes tremendous self-discipline to productively allocate and invest time and to stick to your intentions.



Productivity is the deliberate, strategic, investment of your time, talent, intelligence, energy, resources, and opportunities, in a manner calculated to move you measurably closer to meaningful goals.

So, there you have it! Sounds simple enough, huh? Now the trick is to put it into practice. Let's start with the self-discipline to keep going and make this a very productive afternoon!
