Is Discipline Overrated?

                       IS DISCIPLINE OVERRATED?

Absolutely not! The genus of all successful people is rooted in discipline.

I’m not talking about the kind of discipline that is synonymous with punishment, but the kind of discipline that produces the desired outcome    of an organization on a regular and continuous basis.

Aristotle said; “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act, but a habit.”

World-class athletes, famous musicians, elite military teams such as the Navy Seals all have the same thing in common. They express their talents with predictable precision, which is achieved through disciplined and repeated practice. They are in the habit of practicing over and over until they get it right.

In Jim Collins book, Good to Great, he asserts that great companies have a strong culture of discipline. If discipline leads to greatness, then the lack of discipline leads to chaos, confusion and unpredictable results.

Successful people have the discipline to stay at it and work to continually improve on what they are doing. They practice the discipline of continuous improvement. they don’t give up.

Successful business owners have clarity of direction, a plan of action to bridge the gap between their current state and their desired future. They have intense focus on working this plan and they have the discipline to stay with it each and everyday, working to continually improve on the plan to achieve incredible results.
