5 Reasons WHY DISCIPLINE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT SKILL FOR SUCCESS AND WHY IT'S MASSIVELY UNDERVALUED

#30DaysofThreads (8/30)

[THREAD]
1) Discipline equals Freedom @jockowillink

You want freedom, I want freedom, we all want freedom.

Maybe it's the freedom to wake up every day and do what you want, when you want without having to worry about money
or maybe it's the freedom to wake up every day and know your health is in good order

Whatever it is, everything we truly want in life comes down to having freedom.

But, like anything that's valuable in life, freedom comes at a price and it is paid with discipline.
If you want financial freedom, you have to be disciplined with money - how you get it, how you spend it, and what you do with it when you have it.

If you want freedom of health, you have to be disciplined with diet and exercise - how you workout, what you eat, how much you eat.
Discipline is the price you pay for Freedom and it must be paid daily.
2. Consistent work > Hard work

Want to know why most people never succeed?

Because they try to hustle and grind, work as hard as possible, sleep later and wake up earlier.

They do this for about 2 weeks before they quit out of boredom and frustration.
"eh I can't be bothered, it takes too long."

Discipline teaches you that IT TAKES AS LONG AS IT TAKES.

When you are disciplined, you build the consistency muscle and success will just happen to you "by luck."
Consistency and patience are the only two traits you need to succeed.

Discipline will help you develop these two traits.
3. You are a programmable computer. Discipline allows you to program yourself for success.

Whether you like it or not, you are a computer that's been pre-programmed to fulfill a goal.
Just as a doctor has programed himself to be studious enough to get through 7 years of medical school in order to reach his position,

you too can program yourself to make more money, become a successful painter, lose 38 pounds etc
All you need is a vision, discipline and patience.
4. Discipline prepares you for Success

"Success occurs when opportunity meets preparation." - Zig Ziglar

When Mr. Ziglar said preparation, he was referring to discipline in sales, but nevertheless discipline.
People like to say success is mostly luck because they want an excuse to not do the necessary work.

Successful people understand that luck without discipline is worthless.

Over 90% of lottery winners go broke because they got lucky without financial discipline.
On the other hand, if you are disciplined, you will sometimes "get lucky" when the right opportunity appears and you use your discipline to ride that opportunity to success
This is exactly how Ray Kroc, a struggling salesman managed to turn a local hamburger joint into McDonalds
5. You can apply it to any are of your life that needs Improving

Discipline is the most important skill to success because you can use it to become successful at anything.

This is the power of discipline.
If success to you in health means having no belly fat, discipline will get you there.

If success to you means working from home and spending every day with your family, discipline will make that happen.

If success to you means being rich, discipline will make that happen.
6. Bonus: So why is Discipline undervalued?

Because it cannot be bought with any amount of money.

This is why people will spend $497 on a course about how to make money doing X because they are looking to buy their way to success.
People roll their eyes at Discipline because you cannot buy it with what's in your wallet.

It's totally FREE in monetary terms.

You can only buy it with sweat and patience.
People value their iPhone because it cost them $1000 but you can't put a price tag on Discipline.

Just because you can't put a price on it, doesn't mean it doesn't have any value.
We don't put a price tag on our family because they are invaluable.

Treat Discipline with the same level of importance and Success will be yours.

Creating content and building an audience online can change your life.

But it's hard AF if you don't have a system.

I've been doing this for over 2 years and built an audience of over 50k followers.

🧵 Here's how I'd build one from scratch in 7 steps:
1) Find your optimum creative hour and stick to it

I do my best creative work between 8am-12pm so that's what I commit to every day.

But maybe you're a night owl.

The key here is to pick your best time and STICK TO IT.

Consistency is the only "secret" to being a creator.
During this time, commit to creating only.

That means:

> NO phone
> NO social media
> NO goddamn distractions

You're allowed to create or do nothing.

Want to look out the window or be bored? Cool.

But you can't do anything else.

Create or do nothing.

Spoiler: You'll create

Everyone is trying to cancel @joerogan

Hot take: it won't work.

Here's why:
With a podcast that boasts 200 million+ downloads per month, a health and fitness brand, stand-up comedy, and a commentary job with the UFC...

Rogan's brand is unstoppable

But it's a great case study of the leverage and power you can build without the support of legacy media.
1/ The crown jewel of Rogan's brand is his podcast the Joe Rogan Experience (launched in 2009)

> Signed a deal worth $100M with Spotify in 2020
> 200M+ Downloads per month
> Estimated $30M annual revenue (with sponsorships. More on that later)

The most impressive thing?

1) Infotain them

A lot of people wrongly equate valuable content with serious content.

News flash: Serious content = boring, dull and dry.

The solution is to combine your valuable info with entertainment aka infotainment.

Why do you think it's so easy to go viral on Tik Tok?
