You know what fascinates me? The difference between success and failure isn't usually some grand thing.

It's not about who was born with more talent.

It's not about who had the better start in life.

It's about something much simpler.

It's about who shows up day after day, regardless of how they feel.

That's discipline. and discipline will beat motivation

every single time. I want to talk to you today about something that changed my

life. It wasn't a secret formula it wasn't a get rich quick scheme it was

understanding that discipline beats motivation every single time.

You see, I used to be like most people. I'd wait until I felt motivated to do something important.

I'd wait for that spark, that feeling, that surge of energy, and sometimes it would come.

I'd have these amazing days where I'd accomplish more in 24 hours than I had in the previous week.

But then what happened? The feeling would fade. And I'd be right back where I started.

Waiting for motivation to strike again like lightning. That's when my mentor, Earl Shoeff, taught me something I never forgot.

He said, Jim, don't wait to be motivated.

Waiting is a poor strategy for success. And he was right. The moment I understood that discipline,

not motivation, was the key to success. Everything changed for me. Let's talk about motivation first what is it

really motivation is that feeling you get when you're excited about something

it's that internal spark that makes you want to take action it's the emotion

that drives you forward, at least temporarily.

And motivation feels wonderful.

When you're motivated, you feel unstoppable.
