Why Discipline, Not Motivation, is Your Key to Success
If you've got a big dream, there will be high-value actions you'll have to do consistently and repeatedly in order to be successful. A common mistake we make is relying on being motivated to do these things. You will never always be motivated. You have to learn to be disciplined. Discipline has a negative connotation for a lot of people.
Your Biggest Obstacle To Achieving Success In Your Music Business
What do you think your biggest obstacle to making a successful living as a musician is? Some of the common reasons I hear are things like: “It's the pandemic. It's the economy. It's the government. It's my job that doesn't pay me enough. It's my boss. It's the music industry. It's Spotify. It's the Facebook algorithm. It's my partner being demanding. It's my family commitments chewing up all my time.”
Your Career/Business Will Only Grow To The Extent YOU Grow
Often, if we're trying to solve a problem or achieve a goal, we're looking for a quick fix. We focus on getting the latest tip, hack, strategy, or tactic. And then we try it, and if we don't see results in 5 minutes, we give up on it and go looking for the next one. We get perpetually distracted chasing these things thinking they're the magic pill or silver bullet that's going to solve our problem and make everything fall into place.
Which Pain Would You Rather Have?
All human behaviour boils down to two fundamental motivations. We move towards something in order to gain pleasure, or we move away from something in order to avoid pain. If you've got a dream or goal that's important to you but you're not taking action to move yourself closer to that goal, which of those two motivations is driving you?
Are You Willing To Do Whatever It Takes?
So… you’ve got a big goal, a lifelong dream. You've got a burning desire to achieve this goal. Nothing would give you greater joy than to make this dream a reality. It's your life's purpose. But are you willing to do whatever it takes to make your dream come true, to achieve this goal? How dedicated and committed are you to getting these results? What are you willing to do to solve your challenges, to overcome your obstacles, to move forward?
Are You Unconsciously Saying “No” To Your Goals & Dreams?
Your life is the sum total of your decisions. If you haven't achieved your goal yet, it's probably because you're not making decisions on a daily basis that serve you. We want to start to make decisions that serve us better, that move us towards our goals and dreams.
Do You Have A Big Enough “Why”?
We come often unstuck working towards our goals and dreams with the “how.” The "how" seems hard or painful, and so we don't do it. But the “how” isn't the most important thing. The most important thing is the “why.” You need to have a “why” that's so monumentally important that the pain of not achieving your why is greater than the pain of the how that you go through to achieve your why.
