We discipline our children when they don't do as their told! How do I discipline myself? As a businessman I have had to deal with this before.

It all goes back to your WHY! IF your why is big enough then you will do what needs to be done.

Is your why visible? what I mean by that do you have pictures of what you want? Is it written down? have you created a list of goal's along with a plan of action that will get you to those goals? That's what I am in the process of doing now formulating a plan of action creating some goals and developing a plan for how and what I need to do daily, weekly, and monthly in order to achieve my goals!

Ready to put this into action?

There is a wealth of knowledge and help here at WA! Read other peoples profiles, and blogs. There are gold nuggets in all of it! In the profiles we can find people with similar backgrounds, people we think we would agree with on most subjects, People we would like to meet! Now that's not to say that the ones that have different beliefs are not good people, many will offer to help even if they have different ideals than you! And that is one of the strong points of WA people from all walks of life coming together and helping one another reach for success!

Keep your WHY close and read it, look at it as often as you can, Post it close to your computer so as you are working on this stuff you can keep it on your mind at the same time. I Read so many profiles here about people just wanting the time freedom to have more time with their family's, kid's or older parent's! That is a very worth while dream!

My parent's are 88 and 91 next month! and still in great health thank God! We put a new roof on their house in June and in August we took them up to new Mexico to our cabin there. They had a great time and it was a blessing to get to do that for them, but there is so much more I want to do! The thumb pic in this post is a pic of the morning sunrise from my bed in our New Mexico cabin! That is part of my why I want to build a business I can carry with me on a laptop and go anywhere in the world and still do my job from there!

So if you find yourself standing the corner more often that you like, rethink your WHY, go back and look at some more get some picture out or maybe you have not taken the time to write it out? Read it to yourself before going to sleep at night, and again when you get up in the morning!

I would love to hear from others comments on how you keep motivated?

Blessings to all James
