If you struggle with poor self-discipline, read this:

Self-discipline is the key to achieving your goals. It helps you:

• Ignore short-term temptations
• Take the right action at the right time
• Stay accountable when no one’s around

Follow these 5 rules to build unbreakable self-discipline:

1) Building a routine

2) Thinking long-term

Your daily actions shape the future version of yourself. If you seek pleasure, you’ll end up depressed. If you resort to complaining, you’ll never succeed. But if you take action, you’ll achieve your goals. To build motivation for action, do this: Look at your current daily actions. Predict where they’ll take you 3, 5, and 10 years from now. Are you happy with that version of yourself? The answer will be the greatest motivation you need to achieve your goals

3) Using the 3-second rule

Using the 3-second rule Don’t wait until you “feel like it” to take action. Just count to 3 and act. Don’t think about it. Just do it. Get out of bed. Sit at your desk to work. Put on your shoes and go for a run. Taking action puts you in the right mood.

4) Setting goals with deadlines

Setting goals with deadlines Goal setting is the best way to get things done on time. For optimal performance, a goal should have 3 parts:

• Specific steps to act faster
• Challenge to increase drive
• Deadlines to avoid procrastination

5) Optimizing your environment

Optimizing your environment Your mind always looks for the most convenient task. Design your environment to make time wasters inconvenient:

• Uninstall social media apps
• Cancel your online subscriptions
• Work or study at a local public library

Before we can educate the youth about business, we need to confront the challenges that are constantly destroying the youth before they even begin looking towards trying entrepreneurship. I was once a young man who needed someone to show me the potential I possessed as a young man growing up in the township. Today I am an Entrepreneur, Author and Executive Producer with a passion to educate young people in the township about their potential and challenges through entrepreneurial and substance abuse content. This is why I have dedicated part of this website to address issues of substance abuse and crime. Only after addressing these can we have hope to inspire young people into entrepreneurship.
