Starting point is 00:00:02 Welcome to the Bedroft's Coolian show. If you want to build unbreakable self-discipline, that is what we're going to talk about today. Because I can tell you this right now, the highest performers in the world were not born with the discipline trait. In other words, discipline is not a personality trait to high performers. It's not for special operations communities in the military. It is not that for the athletes who are top performers across various different sports, certainly not that for high performing entrepreneurs. Discipline is something that anybody can develop and you're going to get the seven-step
Starting point is 00:00:54 process to develop unbreakable discipline here and now. But first, I got to tell you a story. The story is this. Many, many years ago, when I was in high school, I realized that I had put on a lot of weight all throughout elementary school, junior high, and high. I put on a ton of weight and quite honestly I was embarrassed of myself. I was built like a pair. I did not have the highest confidence. My self-esteem and self-image massively suffered and quite honestly I felt like I was invisible. Now 11th grade junior year of high school I'm in science class and my science partner is the head starting quarterback for our high school
Starting point is 00:01:39 football team. And this guy is an amazing shape. This guy is built like a Greek god. He's got shoulders. He's got biceps. He's got like this like big chest, small waist, strong legs. And I'm looking at him and we're friends because we're in, you know, science class together. And he's my science partner. And I'm like, dude, how can I get in shape like you? I want to get in shape like you because when I get to senior year of high school next year, I want to ask Nakaya to the prom. Nakaya was the smoking hot Latino girl that all the guys had the hots for. Now, I was invisible to her, and rightfully so, because I had no personality, I had no confidence, and I certainly did not look like a dude who was fit and jacked.
Starting point is 00:02:22 And I just assumed that if I can get fit and jacked, that I would have the confidence to ask her to the prom next year. So I asked my friend, my science partner, who's on the high school football team, I'm like, dude, what does it take? He's like, hey, no worries, man. I'm going to take you into school, to the school gym, and I'm going to be. to teach you how to work out. That afternoon, we're in the school gymnasium, Savannah High School, and he's teaching me how to work out. It was the most intimidating thing ever. But what you need to
Starting point is 00:02:51 know here is that I started working out consistently after that. The entire summer before senior year, I was working out exactly like he taught me. Five days a week, I put together a workout split that he showed me, you know, chest and shoulders on one day, arms and abs, abs, and abs. another day, legs on another day, back in traps, take a day off, rinse and repeat. And then he was like, dude, you also have to learn to eat right. You need to get your protein. You need to get your carbs. You need to cut fats out of your diet. And otherwise you're going to be like a really big fat, strong dude. I was like, well, I don't want to be a big fat strong dude. I want to be a lean and jacked strong dude, right? And so he said high protein. So I went to the grocery store and I could
Starting point is 00:03:34 find the thing with the highest protein cans of tuna fish, the store brand tuna fish. me that was cheapest. I remember like it was like, I don't know, 50 cents or 49 cents a can. There was like 30 grams of protein in a can of tuna fish. And I would eat four or five cans of that a day with just mustard in it because there's no fat and mustard because why mix it with mayo? Mayo has fat in it. And then my simple brain told me that if I need carbs, well, I read everything that had carbs in it. It's probably better quality carbs that I could have eaten. But remember, there was no Google. There was no Claude. There was no chat GPT and there was certainly no YouTube and bro-science podcasts. So I had to figure it out back in 1992. And so high protein, I had tuna,
Starting point is 00:04:15 cans of tuna. And then I had those bags. I had two bags of the Snyder's pretzels that I would eat. I love pretzels anyway, if you know anything about me. And so I would eat pretzels, and that was my source of carbs. And then I would try and eat as little as what my mom made at home, because everything in an Armenian woman makes in the kitchen is fried carbohydrates. I'm telling you, man, my mom made the most amazing food, but it was all types of fried carbohydrates with random pieces of fried meat in there. So with that in mind,
Starting point is 00:04:44 I started to get lean all summer long before senior year came about, right? I'm working out, I'm eating clean, and I lost probably about 34, 35 pounds. Went back senior year, all of a sudden, I'm visible to everybody. Everyone's like, dude, you've changed, you look amazing, what did you do, what did you change?
Starting point is 00:05:00 I've got this personality, I've got confidence. Now, I never had enough confidence to ask Nakaya too prime. So I never went to prom and Nakaya never dated me and that's okay because I got to meet the best version of myself through Discipline and as I look back now I have this massive realization the discipline was a byproduct back then for me of three specific things Guys quick interruption to the Bedrose Coolean show I want to tell you about the man up bundle that I have for you for $29 and a hundred percent of it goes to Shriner's Children's Hospital where we're gonna do a lot of good and you're gonna build an awesome business and have a
Starting point is 00:05:36 great life because of it. You not only get the digital version of my international bestselling book, Man Up, you also get the audiobook version of it and two very exclusive masterclass recordings that I did just earlier this month that is focused specifically on scaling your business and having breakthroughs.

Best of all, you get all of this for $29 bucks because you watch and listen to the Bedroskulian show.
Starting point is 00:06:14 And I'm donating 100% of that money to Shrinas Children's Hospital where they do a lot of good and give a lot of surgeries and medical services to kids whose families can't afford that. So go to manup tribe.com and get the Bedroskulian manup bundle before it all sells out. Peace. Later, as I did the research on it, I realized discipline is a system. It's not a personality trait. It's a system. And I had accidentally stumbled upon the system of discipline, at least of three core things.
Starting point is 00:06:41 And later I discovered the other four things that I needed, right? But it's a system of seven things. But the things that I realized back then was, one, I needed motivation. Now, you're like, wait a minute, Bezos, I thought motivation is fleeting. Discipline is forever. It is. But when you break down the word motivation to its core word, what is it? Well, simple.
Starting point is 00:07:02 motivation is motive. When you break down motivation to its core word, it's motive, right? In other words, what is your motive, your big reason why, for doing something? And so most of the time these days, people are searching podcasts, YouTube, social media, for external motivation, motivation from people who will speak into them and hype you up and get you excited to reach and achieve your goals. Whatever your goals are. Business, relationship, money, health, fitness, doesn't matter, right?
Starting point is 00:07:30 There is no such thing as external motivation. it's fleeting because someone could pipe you up, get you all hyped up, but then within a few hours or a couple of days, that motivation is gone. Motivation breaks down to that core word motive, which means it's internal. What is your internal motive for doing something? Your big reason why. For me, it was a girl. I wanted to get in shape so that I could ask a specific girl out by a specific time to the prom, right?
Starting point is 00:07:57 Unbeknownst to me, I had a very specific goal to burn fat, get fit, and ask out a specific chick to prom on a specific for a specific date that was coming up. The prom, right? Motivation. The other thing was, exactly what I just talked about, a deadline. When you have a specific goal and you have a deadline attached to it, now you can push towards the outcome, knowing that that deadline is coming. Think about this. Don't you get more motivated when you have a deadline showing up for work that you have to meet?
Starting point is 00:08:30 maybe it's a presentation you have to do, or if you're in high school or college, you have all this time to start doing the work to get ready for that exam. But when you get most motivated, you get most motivated days before, maybe even the day before, you get most motivated and disciplined. Why? Because you know the deadline is there. So motivation and a deadline make for a deadly combination. And then you add the third thing that I had discovered, which was a routine.
Starting point is 00:09:00 right? My science partner in high school, who was on the high school football team, gave me a routine to follow. He gave me a structure to follow for both the work outside and the nutrition side. I just stuck to the routine, blindly followed the routine because I trusted his process. It worked for him. And it was obviously going to work for me. So a big reason why motive, motivation, plus a deadline, plus a structured routine, bam, I got disciplined and locked it in and showed up to high school senior year, jacked, lean, confident, personality, didn't quite have the confidence to ask Nakaya to the prom,
Starting point is 00:09:37 so never made it to the prom and never dated Nakaya. But I got to date the greatest dude on the planet, which was the newest 2.0 version of myself. And so with that said, once you figure out that when your reason why has to be bigger than your lazy excuses that you make, and you have a deadline and a structure to it, you become a disciplined machine, right? You get it. And so upon that big realization, I realized,
Starting point is 00:10:03 well, discipline is not a personality trait. It's an actual system. So then, as I got into entrepreneurship in my early 20s, I wanted to break down that formula. What else makes somebody disciplined? And I realized it's a seven-step system, right? It's a seven-step system to discipline, and we're going to dive into it now. Step number one. Guys, quick interruption to the Bedroskoolian show. If you want better health, more energy, you want to fight off inflammation, and you you want to boost your immune system, then you are probably taking a lot of supplements like I used to. I say used to because I stopped taking all these different supplements and you can now throw away your vitamin C, throw away your zinc, throw away your vitamin D3, your B12, your ginger,
Starting point is 00:10:40 your turmeric, your echinacea, and your astragulus. Why? Because all of it now is available in the Trulene Everyday Wellness Packets. So instead of spending two to $300 a month on supplements like that, for a fraction of that, you're going to get the Truline Wellness Shot delivered right to your door for free shipping and you're going to use the code bedroost when you go to truleen.com to get 50% off and $1 of every single order goes to Shriners Children's Hospital. So go to truene.com, use code bedroes and order your 30-day supply of the Trulene everyday wellness shot. Now back to the show.
Starting point is 00:11:16 Indiscipline is making it your identity. I decided that the new version of bedroast that was going to come senior year of high school was going to be a lean jack dude. I could visualize him in my head. My identity had shifted in my head. Physically, I was still a fat, overweight kid. I still wanted to be lazy and eat bowls of cereal after school and watch a team and Night Rider and, you know,
Starting point is 00:11:39 all those cool shows from the 90s. But even though I wanted to do those things, I had shifted the identity, my motive, my reason why it was bigger than my desire to eat cereal and watch TV after school. And so my identity had shifted to being lean and jacked and I can visualize myself walking on the high school campus senior year lean and jacked. So your identity must shift.
Starting point is 00:12:01 In other words, when your identity goes from like, I need to work out to I'm the type of person that works out daily, you've made it, right? Everyone knows they need to work out. I need to eat clean. I need to make my sales calls. I need to be a better fill in the blank. But once you say, I am the type of person that works out consistently, I am the type of person that makes 100 sales calls a day.
Starting point is 00:12:26 I am the type of person that shows up when he says he's going to show up. Now you've accepted that as their identity. When you say need to, it's a goal. When you say, I am, it's an identity. And soon as you make something your identity, that is step one of creating discipline as a habit. Step two then is what? Step two is making starting easy.
Starting point is 00:12:49 We all have a goal. In my case, I had 30 some odd pounds to lose, right? Senior year. In fact, right now, I'm on another weight loss sprint, except I'm going from 233 pounds down to 205. On January 4th of 2026 of this year, I weighed 233 pounds at around 15.5, 16% body fat. Big and strong. 6 foot, 233, 15 and a half, 16% body fat. Big and strong, you can barely see my abs.
Starting point is 00:13:16 But with the increase of jujitsu in my life and how much I am beginning to love, it, even though I'm horrible at it, I'm beginning to love it so much, two and a half years into Jiu-jitsu, I realize the faster I can be on the mats, the more mobile I can be on the mats, and the more cardiovascular endurance I can have on the mats, the better I will be at Jiu-Jitsu. Add to that, I'm 51 years old, and so I know that the more weight body fat I can take off, the better my long-term health will be, right? And so with those two goals in mind, I was like, you know what, dude, I think if I go from 233 to 205 pounds, and specifically 233 and 15, 16% body fat to 205 at around 10% body fat, I will be a formidable human being. So what did I do?
Starting point is 00:14:06 Same thing as I did back in high school, right? I set the goal, 233 to 205. And then I set the deadline by July 22nd, my birthday, right? So I still have two and a half months to go as of filming this episode. By, so right now, we're halfway through my goal. I'm 216 pounds as of this morning and 11.8% body fat. And so knowing that, I took my big goal of 233 pounds and or starting a 233 and going to 205 and I was like, what do I need to do? I just need to lose one pound and then I need to lose another pound. And then I need to lose another pound. So I figured out how much activity I do two to three days a week of jujitsu, and then I do five, six days a week of weight training.
Starting point is 00:14:50 All right, check. For me to be able to cut weight, I need to be in a caloric deficit. I did the math because I know how. Or you can go to chat, GPT, if you don't know how, put in your activity, putting your height, weight, gender, what you do, what you consume,
Starting point is 00:15:06 what your goals are, burn fat, build muscle, and then, voila, it'll tell you what your macros are. For me, I turns out I need 210 grams, of protein per day, about 215 grams of carbohydrates per day, and about 50 grams of fat per day, based on my activity level. So now I know that my big goal from 233 to 205 means I got to eat my macros, right? My desired amounts of proteins, fats, and carbs. Well, I got to make it easy.
Starting point is 00:15:36 I just need to focus on one meal at a time, one workout at a time, get my sleep, get my hydration, get my creatine, get my protein supplementation in, drink my truly wellness shot, rinse and repeat every day. That's it. I just attack one day at a time knowing that July 22nd and 205 pounds and 10% body fat is on the horizon. I may get there a few days earlier. I may get there a few days later, but I will get there because the new identity has been accepted and I've taken this big, giant, audacious goal, and I brought it down to micro-daily goals. And during the day, I have specific meals to eat. and a very specific way of working out,
Starting point is 00:16:18 which will get into the other parts of the system. And this is so important for you to understand. And I'll give you an example on the business side. When I wrote my book, Man Up, I'd never written a book. I just knew that I had to write a book. It was, I felt called to write a book about entrepreneurial leadership as I scaled Fit Body Boot Camp and all the mistakes I made and all the lessons I learned and how you could do it faster.
Starting point is 00:16:38 So I wrote the book, Man Up. And in the process of trying to figure out, like, how long does the book have to be? who's going to be the publisher, how am I going to market it? It started to get overwhelming and daunting. And I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, dude, what do you need to do right now? Just figure out the topic of the book. So I got three to three by five flash cards, like you've seen those three to five, three by five index cards.
Starting point is 00:16:59 I was like, right, I wrote Man Up as a title on the backside, how to cut the BS and dominate in business and in life. Leadership lessons I've learned, right? That was three by five card number one. And then I was like, all right, take the next one. lesson, wrote a lesson, which ultimately would become a chapter, and then on the backside of that, I would write three or four or five talking points that would later expand into the chapter, and then take the third three by five card, write the next lesson, flip it over, three, four,
Starting point is 00:17:27 or five bullet points, talking points, and then that would expand to the next chapter. Before I knew it, I had 13 of these three by five index cards. I pretty much had the title of the book and the outline of the book laid out in the form of three by five index cards. I took this big idea from my head, and I made them into bite-sized pieces into 13 index cards. And then I said, well, how am I going to get it done? I got to write a manuscript. So to write the manuscript, the book,
Starting point is 00:17:52 forget about, you know, I did the search and it was like 50 to 80,000 words for the average book. It was like, all right, my book ended up landing at like 61,000 words or something. And so to write 61,000 words or a whole book is daunting. But to commit to, all right,
Starting point is 00:18:06 I've got these 13 index cards. And every day, at the same time, I'm going to sit down, and I'm going to write one hour a day every day of the week. That's it. One hour a day every day of the week. Before I knew it, the book was done, and I was shopping the manuscript to publishers, right? So I took this big, hairy idea, and I brought it down to the daily bite-sized pieces.
Starting point is 00:18:29 How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. That's exactly what you need to do with all your goals. So then the third part of the system of discipline is time blocking. If I know that I'm going to write one hour a day, I don't want to just go, well, which hour the day should it be today in the morning, tomorrow and the afternoon, the next day in the evening. No, no, no. That leaves things to chance.
Starting point is 00:18:52 You have to time block. And the most disciplined people who have created a system of discipline know how to time block. They schedule their days out. What time they're going to wake up, what time they're going to work, what time they're going to work out, what time they're going to eat, what time they're going to sleep, and then rinse and repeat, right? And by doing that, I had created a structure and I stuck to the schedule of that structure and that removed all decision fatigue. I don't want to have to decide what time of the day I need to work out. I just know I wake up at 4.30 in the morning, work for a couple hours,
Starting point is 00:19:25 and then go to the gym by 9 a.m. After that, I'm showered and I'm clean and I can come to HQ and I can start working on the things that I need to do. Right? Every day you can set your clock to my day. And so there is no, oh, and then I'm going to work out at noon, and I'm going to work out at 3 p.m. And I'm going to work out at 8 p.m. Nope. Every day, it's every morning. And because I have a structured time, my body knows exactly during this time block, he's most primed for work. During this time blocked, he's most primed in discipline to work out.
Starting point is 00:19:56 During this time block, he's most primed to have meetings and zooms and all these things. During this time block, he's most primed to relax and, you know, start, you know, winding down the day. And once you time block your day, you are protecting your day from decision fatigue and from others wanting to buy into your time and steal your time because there is such thing as time theft. You can do it through procrastination and by being a drifting ship on sea or you can create discipline and structure by time blocking and know that no one's going to steal your time, which means now the fourth step of this system is what?
Starting point is 00:20:34 I create a rule and the rule goes like this. never miss twice rule. That's it. The never miss twice rule. I might miss one day of working out. I might miss one day of productivity at work because things went haywire or I woke up and I was under the weather, but I'll never have a second day. I'll never miss twice in a row. By making that a rule, again, creating structure, you now realize that I'm not going to go down the spiral of poor discipline, right? The never miss twice rule is this. You forgive yourself for the one time, give yourself grace, commit to going and doing the thing, workout, nutrition, making the calls, running the business, pouring into your relationship, whatever it is. You can screw up once every now and again.
Starting point is 00:21:19 You can't make it a second, third, fourth day because one day becomes one week, one week becomes one month, one month becomes a year, and this is how you end up slipping and end up getting fat or getting more broke, and you don't want that. So knowing that, you forgive yourself once and then you fight the downward spiral poison because it is poison. When you miss one day, you're more likely to miss a second day. So when you commit to the idea
Starting point is 00:21:42 of never miss twice in a row, you have to now implement that, which goes on to system number five, which is to track everything. The most disciplined people I know track everything. And there's a rule that says, what stats we measure get improved. Anything that you measure gets improved.
Starting point is 00:22:00 I told you guys that starting January 4th of this year, 2026, my goal was to go from 233 pounds to 205 pounds, right? Well, for that to happen and to maintain as much muscle as possible, I had to do it slow and steady. And currently I'm 216 and around whatever, 11% body fat. And so for me to get there, I measure myself. How? Well, I get on the scale. First thing every morning, every single morning, seven days a week.
Starting point is 00:22:27 If I had too much salt the day before, I see it on the scale. I weigh half a pound more, maybe even a pound more because of water retention. If I allowed myself to cheat on my diet, guess what? I see it on the scale. If I let it go two days, three days, four days of no weight and I don't weigh myself, guess what happens next? Then when I do get on the scale a week later, oh my God, I've gained three pounds, four pounds, five pounds, then guess what happens?
Starting point is 00:22:50 Now you start feeling defeated. Now you start feeling demoralized. Now you just figure, well, I've already gained this weight. I might as well just keep going, right? And this is how you end up having a lifetime of regret, which we're going to talk about in just a moment. So I want you to understand, you have to, everything that is valuable to you, you have to measure. And that which will measure, you get to improve. So daily, I get to weigh myself. And once a week, I do a body fat test. And that holds me accountable towards my goals, right?
Starting point is 00:23:16 And if you can do that, now we move on to number six of the discipline system, which is to create non-negotiables. Because anything in your life that you decide to prioritize, you want to be disciplined on. So first of all, prioritize it. Make it part of your identity. Tell the people around you, not so that they can hold you accountable, but you tell the people around you so you can hold yourself accountable to your word, to them, right? I want to be a man of my word.
Starting point is 00:23:43 I want to keep my word to myself. I want to be a promise keeper. So if I tell the friends around me that, hey, I'm going from 233 to 205 by July 22nd, and I'm telling you this, not so you hold me accountable, but so that I am not a liar to you and to you and to you, and to you and to you, then I'm going to do it, right? And so it makes it non-negotiable for me. I don't negotiate with the whisper of the inner bitch.
Starting point is 00:24:07 I don't negotiate with the inner critic hissing at me, telling me, I can't do it, I shouldn't do it, I'm lean enough. You've already lost whatever, 14, 15 pounds, you're good to go. Nope, nope, you're already making enough money. You could stop there. Nope, nope, there's a lot more money to donate to Shriner's Children's Hospital, Toys for Todd's, Compassion International. I donate to a lot of charities.
Starting point is 00:24:29 I do a lot of good with my money. I can't just stop with the money that I made. No, I have more capacity, right? I don't negotiate with the inner critic. The inner critic is always that negative voice hissing at you, that inner bitch that tells you can't, you shouldn't, you don't know how, you've gone too long, and it starts putting in these moments of fear and doubt
Starting point is 00:24:51 and insecurity in you. And your job is to go, hey, this is non-negotiable. And how do you do that? Three, two, one go. The moment the internal negotiations, begins, soon as you hear that the hissing of the inner critic began, you go three, two, one, go. I'd rather you just go three, two, one, go and go do a shitty workout now than a much better workout two hours from now.
Starting point is 00:25:12 Because if you committed to doing an 8 a.m. workout, 9 a.m. workout, whatever time it is, that's the time block you committed to that workout, or that's the time block you committed to making those sales calls, that's when I want you to do it. Make it a non-negotiable. Even if it's done in a sloppy fashion, you committed to that time. it was a non-negotiable, you now are starting to build muscular habits, right? Habits are like muscle. The more you do them, the more you reinforce those habits of muscles, right?
Starting point is 00:25:42 And so think about this, make things non-negotiable. High performers have rules for themselves, and those rules are, I'm going to time-block everything, I'm going to shut down the inner bitch when it starts hissing at me, and I'm not going to let that inner critic take me off my path. and I'm not going to surround myself with people in my life who don't align with my goals. If my goal is to get down to 205, I'm not going to go to the bar and have drinks and eat fried mozzarella cheese sticks. I love mozzarella cheese sticks, but that is not aligned with my goals, and therefore I'm not doing it, right?
Starting point is 00:26:13 And that leads us to the last and final thing, which is the system, the seventh system, which is think long term. All disciplined people think long term. Short term is all these quick dopamine hits. I'd rather scroll on social media than go work out. I'd rather watch a YouTube video than make these sales calls. And you give yourself this false perception of being busy, right? Tactical loitering is what I call it.
Starting point is 00:26:38 And so you think like, oh, you know, hey, I'm fine. But no, you're just leaning into comfort. Like losers think short-term comfort. That's what losers do. They think short-term comfort. They preoccupy themselves with cheap and quick and comfortable dopamine hits. because the dopamine hit of losing 2% body fat takes a couple weeks.
Starting point is 00:26:58 The dopamine hit of going down a pound of fat takes a few days. The dopamine hit of getting a few sales under your belt takes a few days or a few weeks, right? Versus the dopamine hit of scrolling on social media, the dopamine hit of taking a bite of that jolly burger or that fried mozzarella stick, that's instant. And so there's so much instant gratification around you
Starting point is 00:27:21 that you have to be able to think long term. What I'm about to eat, is this going to damage me long term or benefit me long term? Well, on the short term, it's going to taste good. It's going to be yummy. It's going to be all this warm, melted cheese coating the inside of my mouth, all the different flavors and my palate's going to go snap, crackle, and pop. And all those taste buds are going to come to life. That's on the short term.
Starting point is 00:27:44 Then boom, my brain starts dumping all that dopamine into it. And I feel so good. for eating this jolly burger with fried cheese. But then tomorrow morning, you wake up fat with even more gelatinous tits, one more stretch mark around your belly button, you're shaped like a fucking donut. Was it worth it?
Starting point is 00:28:05 No. And that fat is going to take you days to burn off, but it took you minutes to put on. And I share that with you because winners think long term. Before they have that thing, they have this impulse control that takes place. And they go, before I make this impulsive decision, to screw things up. Can I think long term? How am I going to feel right now tomorrow? Next day,
Starting point is 00:28:28 next week, next month. Regret, regret, regret. Then I'm not going to eat this now because I will take the discipline of today to not have the regret of tomorrow. And if you can start thinking long term like winners, you are going to do it. So let's summarize this. Discipline is not a personality trait. It is very much a learned behavior. And that learned behavior breaks down to seven steps. for the disciplined man, and that is one, make it your identity. See yourself as the end result. Make it your identity. Number two, make starting easy.
Starting point is 00:29:02 Take the big goal and break it down into small micro goals every single day that you can do. And take that into hourly goals you could do every single day. Step three is time block. Time block everything. Take the winning steps at the same time of the day, on the same day of the week, every single day. Make winning predictable. time block, no guesswork. Step number four, never miss twice. Give yourself grace if you have to miss
Starting point is 00:29:27 once. We can all miss every now and again, but never miss twice in a row. If you do, you're now developing a habit and a pattern of being a loser. And you, my friend, are not a loser. Step number five, track everything that matters. Because the stats that we track, we can improve. Step number six in discipline is to create non-negotiables. We do not negotiate with the inner bitch. We do not negotiate with the hissing of the inner critic, and we are constantly creating rules to protect our time and energy and do the work necessary
Starting point is 00:29:58 by not negotiating with people outside of us or the negative voices inside of us. And finally, step number seven of building discipline, think long term because losers think short-term comfort, winners think long-term regret. I don't want to have a regret, and they visualize who they are going to be down the line
Starting point is 00:30:19 and that to them is more attractive than a bite of mediocrity today. Guys, thank you for watching this episode of the Bedros cooling show if you got a lot of value from it.
