I want to get the shit done. What should I do?

This is the most common question people ask.

Don’t worry. I’ve covered a two-step process that I’ve used to build a bulletproof discipline. It’ll give a roadmap on how to kick-start your journey with self-discipline.

Before diving into the topic, ask yourself — are you ready? If not, good. I wasn’t either. And that’s where we all start.

Make a plan to move forward

Everyone wants to move from house to bungalow.

But only a few get there, and others keep struggling.

The reason? 99% of people don’t follow systems to tackle their goals. They rely more on willpower. You might have willpower at this moment. But as the day progresses, your ability to make rational decisions decreases. Your mind gets tired. At that point, You might end up leaving things behind.

So, with a clear plan, you’re driving yourself to the goal. You’re tired, but you know how to manage the cravings and get the shit done. Isn’t it magical? No, it’s the work that you’ve put behind.

“Give me six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.” — Abraham Lincoln

Mark your words ( commitment)

Now, your goal should be execution.

You’ve got the plan. It’s time to trust the process.

It will take 60 to 90 days to get onto autopilot mode. It’s going to be fucking hard. It will test your potential. You might give up at some point. That’s okay. At least you’ve tried. But never give up, make it through the hard part, the other side you’re already dominating.

So, get up every day and get to work. No matter how difficult it becomes, you’ve to stay relentless. Otherwise, you’ll end up like everybody else.

I hope you choose wisely.
