If You’re Stuck You Probably Need More Self-Discipline
Here’s why every creator needs it and how to develop it.
Imagine discovering the recipe for a potion that turns everything into gold. Now imagine gathering the ingredients is difficult and dangerous. Will you walk away from this challenge and miss out on unlimited wealth?
I know this may sound harsh, but I think that’s what many creators do.
They have the knowledge and tools to grow an audience, develop their craft, and improve themselves. But they procrastinate, find excuses, and quit.
What can save them? Discipline.
Yes, I know, not the most glamorous topic. But I am an extremely disciplined person and this may be my secret weapon.
If you’re not getting the results you want, here’s why and how discipline will help you. And, most importantly, how to develop it with limited stress.
