The entrepreneur’s guide to self-discipline

Published about 1 month ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader,

You know what often gets lost between the “lifestyle freedom” dreams and the “I’m my own boss!” reality?

A tiny little thing called doing the work.

I discovered that early in my self-employment journey, when I wanted to be a writer. The trouble was, I was a writer who did everything but write.

I watched a lot of bad television. I read a lot of advice about writing. I took some courses about writing.

But I did not write.

Call it willpower, or discipline, or even drive—whatever it was, I didn’t have it.

I’ve been fully self-employed and self-supporting since 2011. In that time, I’ve discovered that self-discipline isn’t something you’re born with (I wasn’t). It is something you can create for yourself, though.

Start with the entrepreneur's guide to self-discipline.

To your success,
Cindy
