– TRANSCRIPT –
Adam Force: [00:00:00] Listen, the reality is nine times out of 10 there’s only, you can only do two or three things in a day, right? As your to-do list. If you’re going to do it well. And you know, things always take longer than you expect. So don’t plan more than one and two or three things in the day. And I would say, don’t sit down at your computer until you’re clear about what those things are for the day.
Don’t sit down without knowing that makes a huge difference. Makes a huge difference.
David Wood: [00:00:26] That’s nice. That’s discipline.
Adam Force: [00:00:29] Well, you know, and it’s funny cause you keep, you use this word discipline multiple times now. And I want people, entrepreneurs listening to realize that, yes, there’s all these tactical things that we’re talking about here and, you know, really understanding the self, but two things that will make the biggest difference in your life.
What’s your, this is what you’re helping people with. Discipline and habits. Those two things.
David Wood: [00:00:51] You know, what. I’m going to say something. I don’t know exactly what it’s going to be, but it’s. I want to say it and then see if it feels true. I can’t help people with discipline. I can’t help you with discipline.
All I can do is show you the path. And I can help you see your lack of discipline, but you are the only one that can bring that last piece to the table. You are the only one who can actually, when the alarm goes off four o’clock on a Friday and says you have to do your weekly plan, you are the only one that can show up.
I cannot help you. When you fall off the horse, I might be able to help you get back on, but there is no one but you who can bring that last piece to your own success.
Adam Force: [00:01:44] 100%. Yeah. That discipline part is just, you know, for people listening, it’s really the emotional mind overcoming the logical mind. So if you can kind of reel it back in.
So when it is a four o’clock and you don’t feel like doing something, you got to say, well, I know this is what I decided is important for the success of my future in the long run. So I’m going to take the emotional side out of this, and I’m going to think logically and stick to the plan. Right? So that kind of thinking has helped me in tough times because Hey, when I start before I started Change Creator and I didn’t know what the heck I was doing, I had to wake up at three thirty and four o’clock in the morning to do work before I got on a train from Philly to New York to actually go to the office. Right. I mean, that is, that was one of the most difficult, like two years of my life, because waking up early and I think we can all relate. You’re waking up five or whatever is early for you.
And you’re just like, ah, another half hour and you just blow it off because emotionally you just feel like it’s too much and you don’t want to do it. And so you rationalize, right? So that’s where that discipline comes in and we all have to learn how to harness the power of discipline.
David Wood: [00:02:52] I’m with you a hundred percent.
