Summary
We will learn:
- Why habits alone are not enough.
- Why you need to be goal-oriented and process-oriented.
- The 3 pillars of mindful self-discipline.
We tend to choose what feels good in the moment versus what’s actually good for us.
Regardless of the surface-level reason, there’s almost always a deeper reason. And that deeper reason is usually that you haven’t yet connected the hard thing with a deeper why.
So whether you need help building a consistent morning routine, breaking bad habits, finding your life purpose, increasing motivation and willpower, achieving your goals, or just being more effective with your time, mindful self-discipline can help.
That’s what we’re talking about today.
Our guest is Giovanni Dienstmann. He is a self-discipline coach who has helped hedge fund managers, CEOs, entrepreneurs, celebrity musicians, ambitious professionals, artists, and pro athletes to live a more focused and disciplined life. Since 2014 he has been successfully coaching people to overcome distractions, procrastination, self-doubt, fear, and other forms of self-sabotage.
