Ann, at times it can be difficult to be disciplined. As a solopreneur, it gets harder because you don't have a “boss” to answer to I like that definition of discipline from that book. It really hits home. I've been very good with getting things done when they need to be done but there's always, always room for improvement.

Not only do I need to develop better discipline with how I use social media I need to do a better job carrying out my plan. The 30 minutes twice a day isn't even the problem, its knowing what to say when I get to the site. I spent 2 straight weeks & weekends writing a facilitators guide for a client. That took a lot of discipline and enabled me to meet the deadline. During that time I didn't talk to anybody, pay much attention to television, etc. so trying to find something to say on the social media sites is like being constipated….I KNOW something is in there IT JUST WON'T COME OUT! I will be working on better engagement on the social media sites in the coming months.

This is a subject very close to my heart and it goes hand in hand with time management. It's so tough to stay disciplined, but I've been really working on this aspect of my personality. It's so easy to get distracted by a video (ha ha) etc.

Ann, I liked the Brian Tracey quote. You made a good point about discipline. I think that leads into some time management questions. I would love to see a piece on that. How much time per day to you spend on emails and facebook/twitter? Speaking of procrastination and discipline, did you know there was a study that showed people would rather miss a month of sex rather than have to cold call. LOL Thanks for all you do. Marie K.

You are absolutely right! In order to be successful in business and in everyday life you must have discipline! It is like wanting to stay thin. You cannot just eat and drink everything in sight. If you want to be successful you have to ACT on it!

GREAT video and GREAT message, Ann! Discipline is the catalyst to so many things we often believe we cannot achieve; once implemented, and put into play as a HABIT, “miracles” happen! Thanks so very much for the nudge to keep us on track!

Thanks, Ann, for pointing out that Discipline is Key. Sure, it's wonderful to Do What You Love, and to Love What You Do, but all of us need to stay on top of Doing What's Important, and Discipline keeps us there. Wouldn't it be nice if we developed the habit of Loving to Do What's Important? Hmmm, sounds like another way to describe “Discipline”.

Wow – this sounds like such a disciplined, mature businesswoman! I am impressed – of course I always knew you had what it takes and I love this idea of discipline. Along with accountability, perhaps the hardest element for many entrepreneurs to achieve. Thanks for the reminder of its importance!
