So, what’s preventing you from reaching the finish line where your results are patiently waiting for you to arrive? Is it truly a lack of motivation? Is it discipline? Or is it both?

Let’s first discuss the difference between motivation and discipline. I’ll do you a favor and sum it up in one simple example so we can quickly get to the point and you can get started on the things you need to do to begin achieving your goals.

So, here you go…

Motivation is your resolve to set the alarm for 6 am.

Discipline is your ability to get out of bed when the 6 am alarm goes off.
