Self-discipline is much more required than motivation in Business

We have a lot of motivational speakers in this century, we have so many people who are also willing to get motivated on a constant note, but despite the series of motivation released by motivational speakers through various channels, we still have businesses that never get to see the lime light or that fails along the way.

There is a more effective power in self-discipline than motivation, we may choose to listen to motivational messages every morning and night and then get our souls energized and ready for work but no matter how motivated we are if we fail to discipline ourselves, we will never be able to achieve the success we desire.

A lot of people spend the time they should be spending on activities on motivation, they spend the entire day on bed listening to what will happen when they finally take steps but they never get out of bed to make any meaningful impression.

Do not ignore motivation, it is very important and most often it results in having a boosted motivated soul but relying totally on motivation and setting aside the need to become self-disciplined is highly dangerous for success. You need to pause that motivation for a while and begin to focus on self-discipline.

To become self-disciplined is a deliberate effort that is required to push anyone towards the achievement of purpose, as an entrepreneur are you waking up at the right time, are you going about your duties at the appropriate time, are you doing any functional thing to cause growth in your business? It is not convenient to meet all demands but that is where self-discipline comes in.

The common thing about motivation: Motivational speakers tell us so much about how they were able to get to the height they achieved through consistency and zeal to work hard and smart but they refuse to tell us how long it took them to get there, what took them 5-10 years to achieve, we want to get it in five months, so after getting motivated we put in all the energy and strength just like the motivational speaker advised and at the end of five months when we do not get the promised result we lose faith and conclude that these things do not work out.

With self-disciple, you do not even need to feel like doing anything, but you are sure that you need to get it done, motivation gives you the feeling you need to do what you have to do but with self-discipline, you have to get up on your feet and give in your best even at the worse moments. I want you to choose self-discipline over motivation all the time and experience a better result with your life and business.

Discipline is a very necessary aspect that every business person must take note of, without discipline even with series of motivation there will be no record of success.

That's a worthy point to note,thanks a lot for reading.

When it comes to business, if you like, read all the books in the world, if you are not self disciplined, you will keep repeating one circle in life.

Very true, self discipline is highly essential thanks for reading.

Hello friend, the truth is that being disciplined people will bring us many benefits, I think it is something that should be a complement in our lives, if we want to achieve our goals and objectives we must be constant and disciplined people.

Discipline is of a great necessity in all spheres of life, thanks for reading.

Greetings @ireti.

Extraordinary article that you share in this opportunity, it is true that self-discipline will always be more important than motivation in any kind of business we want to do.
It is important what you express:

Many people dedicate the time they should to motivational activities, spend all day in bed listening to what will happen when they finally take action, but never get out of bed to make a meaningful impression.

This is true because we must have constant self-discipline if we are to succeed and because motivation is also expressed, we must not ignore it.

Self discipline must not be ignored, it requires great commitment, thanks for reading.

Dear @ireti

I came here because @tfame3865 mentioned your post in his recent publication.

Abother interesting topic. Solid read, surely worth discussion.

You nailed it. Listening to motivational speaches can pump us up. But it's usually very short-lived boost.

Art of self-discipline is not easy to develop. Most people are failing big time and are discouraged easily.

There is however one problem with self-discipline I see. Sometimes we want so badly to feel like we're dedicated and self-disciplined, that we're becoming blind to the fact that we're engaged in business/project which is simply not going to work out. We may end up wasting time by putting so much efforts into something, which is destined to fail.
Wouldn't you agree?

Have a great monday ahead :)
Yours, Piotr
