Thoughts of the Week: June 16, 2023

Discipline can only take you so far. Drive will make you unstoppable.

Jun 16, 2023

A lot of popular “gurus” will tell you that discipline is the key to a successful life when, in reality, discipline is one of the worst strategies you can rely on.

Why?

Because discipline can be depleted. It’s a *tool* you can use, and it can be incredibly useful in certain situations, but it’s not a way of life. The real thing that will separate you from the pack is drive.

This week, set aside some time to connect with what drives you. Dive deep into your hunger, the thing gnawing at your insides, and let it fuel you in the days, weeks, and months ahead.

1. Accountability is a form of self-respect. If you’re ready to set that bar for yourself, start here.

2. I’ve watched a lot of people talk about leadership, but Anna Wintour surprisingly nails it in this Masterclass.

3. Sometimes the simplest concepts make the biggest impact: action is a separator. Use it to your advantage.

4. ICYMI: A few of our members are creating a book club in the r/ultrasuccessful subreddit. If you’re interested in connecting with some like-minded individuals, this is a great opportunity to make it happen.
