SELF-DISCIPLINE: WHAT IS IT, HOW DO YOU GET IT, HOW DO YOU KEEP IT, AND HOW DO YOU GROW FROM IT?

Welcome to Episode 347 of the Walking Leader Podcast with your host David Guerra.

In episode 347 of The Walking Leader Podcast, David talks about SELF-DISCIPLINE: WHAT IS IT, HOW DO YOU GET IT, HOW DO YOU KEEP IT, AND HOW DO YOU GROW FROM IT?.

Taking the next logical step after the Self-Motivation episode, we take on the challenges of Self-Discipline. SELF-DISCIPLINE: WHAT IS IT, HOW DO YOU GET IT, HOW DO YOU KEEP IT, AND HOW DO YOU GROW FROM IT? is a dive into the deep end of the Self-Leadership pool. This episode will help listeners understand that self-discipline is a trainable leadership behavior, not a personality trait that some people simply possess.

Self-discipline is not about forcing yourself to do everything. It is about deciding what matters, creating the habits that support it, and consistently following through. To help get you started, I invite you to listen to this 30 minute episode.

In this episode 347 “SELF-DISCIPLINE: WHAT IS IT, HOW DO YOU GET IT, HOW DO YOU KEEP IT, AND HOW DO YOU GROW FROM IT?” David shares with you:

In the mean time, REMEMBER TO KEEP GOING BEYOND THE GRIND & KEEP GOING BEYOND THE HUSTLE AND BREAK FROM THE CROWD TO BE A LEADER WITHOUT EQUAL BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO BE THE WALKING LEADER!

SELF-MOTIVATION: CREATING CONDITIONS FOR MOTIVATION AND THEN ACTING

Welcome to Episode 346 of the Walking Leader Podcast with your host David Guerra.

In episode 346 of The Walking Leader Podcast, David talks about SELF-MOTIVATION: CREATING CONDITIONS FOR MOTIVATION AND THEN ACTING.

If the episode title sounds familiar; it should. SELF-MOTIVATION: CREATING CONDITIONS FOR MOTIVATION AND THEN ACTING  is a continuation (per se) of an earlier episode. Self-Motivation is one of those topics that needs to be at the fore-front of all that we do, want to do, and have done. Why? Your success as a Self-Leader and future leader of others depends on your success at Self-Motivation.

At its core, Self-Motivation is really Self-Leadership in motion: deciding what matters, creating the conditions to act, continuing when the excitement fades, and using progress to become a stronger version of yourself. Remember, motivation may get you moving, but self-leadership teaches you how to keep moving.

In this episode of "SELF-MOTIVATION: CREATING CONDITIONS FOR MOTIVATION AND THEN ACTING" David shares with you: 

What is Self-Motivation?
What is the Self-Determination Theory
How Do You Get Motivated?
How Do You Keep Motivated?
How Do You Grow From Motivation?
Immediate & Long Term Action Items
plus more...  

In the mean time, REMEMBER TO KEEP GOING BEYOND THE GRIND & KEEP GOING BEYOND THE HUSTLE AND BREAK FROM THE CROWD TO BE A LEADER WITHOUT EQUAL BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO BE THE WALKING LEADER!

FOCUSING ON YOURSELF, NOT ON OTHERS

Welcome to Episode 345 of the Walking Leader Podcast with your host David Guerra.

In episode 345 of The Walking Leader Podcast, David talks about FOCUSING ON YOURSELF, NOT ON OTHERS and the Self-Leadership Power of Staying in Your Lane.

When it comes to FOCUSING ON YOURSELF, NOT ON OTHERS if you want to lead others, you must lead yourself. Yes, it is that simple: You cannot lead yourself effectively when you are constantly distracted by someone else's life, success, opinions, timeline, or expectations.
Your job is not to become someone else.

Your job is to become the best, most disciplined, most authentic version of yourself. To do that, you must be prepared to create and sustain a shift, not just in your mindset but also in your habits.

In this episode of “FOCUSING ON YOURSELF, NOT ON OTHERS” David shares with you:

  • What is the Comparison Trap?
  • Why Comparison can distract you?
  • The Self-Leadership Reset
  • Self-Discipline and Habits
  • Authenticity
  • 30-Day Self-Leadership Challenge (downloadable content PDF)
  • plus more…

Always remember and never forget to keep going BEYOND THE GRIND & go BEYOND THE HUSTLE. BREAK FROM THE CROWD TO BE A LEADER WITHOUT EQUAL BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO BE THE WALKING LEADER!
