Self-Discipline: Are You Lying to Yourself About Your Goals?

  • Summary

  • Hey friends, welcome back to another epsiode, and let me tell you—this episode is one you’re gonna want to buckle up for. We're diving deep into something that’s been on my mind (and probably yours too): self-discipline. Yeah, I said it. The D-word.

    But here’s the deal—it’s not about waking up at 4 AM and eating protein powder for breakfast. Nope. It’s about those tiny promises we make to ourselves every single day… and whether or not we actually keep them.

    • Ever said, “I’m hitting the gym tomorrow”… and then didn’t?
    • Or, “I’m sticking to this diet”... while holding a donut? 🍩
    • Or how about, “I’m calling those 20 clients today”… and somehow ended up reorganizing your sock drawer instead?

    Yeah, we’ve all been there. And let me tell you—it’s not just about breaking promises. It’s about what those broken promises do to your self-image.

    In this episode, we’ll chat about:

    • Why self-discipline isn’t punishment—it’s actually freedom.
    • How asking “Did I do my best today?” might be the most powerful question you ask yourself.
    • The sneaky little ways habits become either your greatest ally… or your biggest enemy.

    Plus, I’m sharing insights from 75 Hard, lessons from John Maxwell, and a little real talk about how discipline builds the bridge between good intentions and actual results.

    This isn’t a lecture—it’s a conversation. And if you’ve ever found yourself saying, “This year will be different,” then friend, this episode is for YOU.

    So hit play, lean in, and let’s figure out how to stop lying to ourselves about our goals—and start showing up like the leaders we know we can be.

    👉 Let me know your biggest takeaway—I’d love to hear from you.
