Posts Tagged ‘discipline’

That’s my mantra these days as I search for the discipline to address the many-pronged approach I am taking to life and business.

I find that my clients’ success is directly proportionate to the amount of discipline they are willing to put forth on their branding and marketing efforts.  All the willpower in the world is for naught if it isn’t backed up with good old-fashioned action.  Sometimes it means having an electronic calendar tickle them to let them know it’s time to update ye olde blog or make the rounds online.  Sometimes it means designating a point person in-house to tackle tasks that are not realistic for a business owner to take on alone.  Either way, we’re experts at nagging, cajoling, coaxing, coddling, hand-holding, and, yes, harassing our clients into action!  In a gentle and professional way, of course.

For me, discipline has to extend beyond the business realm into things like my triathlon training, fiction writing, and eating habits.  I guess it’s one of the boring things about being an adult.  But I like the results.
