Welcome to the Level Up Podcast. I'm your host, Paul Alex. I went from being a cop to an eight-figure entrepreneur that helps average people like you and me make money every single day. I created this podcast to help you get motivated and to crush your goals. Let's win together.

Remember, I have your six. Get ready to level up right now. Today, we're talking about one of the most crucial elements of achieving greatness, discipline. Without discipline, even the best plans or intentions can fall apart. But with it, you can unlock your true potential and accomplish anything you set your mind to. Discipline is the bridge between goals and achievement. It's what keeps you moving day by day. Even when

motivation wanes, guys, and I'm not trying to go ahead and confuse you with my verbiage, but what I'm saying is I'm even trying to level up every single day by the way I speak, okay? So what I mean is I'm talking about even when motivation fades away, all right? But how do you cultivate discipline? How do you turn it into a habit that consistently drives you towards success? So let's go ahead and explore this together. You got to understand that discipline starts with a small, consistent action. It's not about making massive changes overnight. You ever heard the term when somebody goes ahead and says, Hey, I'm going to become a millionaire.

Well, two, three years later, when you ask what happened to becoming a millionaire, they never took the small, consistent actions to make that happen. So it's about taking small, manageable steps that add up over time. The snowball effect. Start by identifying one of two habits that will significantly impact your goals. Maybe it's waking up an hour early to work on your side hustle or committing to a daily workout routine that's going to improve your health and get you shredded. You got to focus on these small habits and commit to making them truly, fully consistent actions. Create a routine.

Successful people like myself, like my wife, like absolutely everybody that I know that is a one percenter in this world has a routine. So what do you have to do? You have a routine because they reduce the mental load of decision making and build positive habits design a daily schedule that aligns with your goals and stick to it consistency is key the more you stick to your routine the more it becomes second nature the less willpower it takes to maintain it accountability isability is another powerful tool. You got to share your goals and routines with someone you trust, someone that can keep you

accountable, like your spouse, your wife, your husband, your employee, your executive assistant, whoever, whoever's going to keep you in check. It could be a friend, it could be a family member, or it could be a mentor like myself. having someone to check in with you can provide the motivation to stay on track especially on days when you feel like giving up accountability partners is how i was able to become successful guys they actually encouraged me and provided me perspective and also told me to stay committed guys so at the end of the day was i able to go ahead and build everything that I have now by myself absolutely not it takes a tribe to win so additionally your surroundings your surroundings can either support or

hinder your efforts to build discipline you got to remove distractions and create an environment that fosters focus and productivity. This might mean organizing your workspace, setting boundaries with your time, and also finding a quiet place to work without interruptions. You got to control your environment and you'll find it easier to stay disciplined. I've had to go ahead and actually mentor a lot of my employees where they work from home, they're in sales, and at the end of the day, they're not able to get their job done right, or possibly their sales goal is not being reached that week. And then I break it down to them. Is your location where you are working quiet? Are you free of distractions? And for most of us, if we're working at home, okay, we got the TV, we got the fridge,

we got the bed I mean how many of you guys find it extremely difficult to work from home all right I'm one of them guys that's why I ended up getting an office in downtown Miami about a good 30 40 minutes away from where I live because I literally live in the middle of nowhere because that's hey I want my peace and quiet, right? But when it comes down to doing business, I wanna make sure that I am 110% locked in. This is why I took the accountability to go ahead and actually get an office

where everybody can come to work and stay disciplined by taking small actions every day. Now, you have to also embrace the power of self-reflection. This is super important. Regularly take time to reflect on your progression and assess what's working and what's not. This practice helps you stay aligned with your goals and makes it necessary adjustments to your routine. Self-reflection can also be as simple as journaling or at the end of each day or having a weekly review session to evaluate your process and set new goals i like to set up this on mondays this is why i call it money mondays because it's the day that we plan the rest of the week or the next

two weeks and then guess what we make the moves we make the adjustments so building discipline takes time and effort and you're bound to encounter setbacks no matter what, guys. It's entrepreneurship. It's business. So don't be too hard on yourself when you slip up. Acknowledge the mistake, learn from it, and get back on track. The journey to self-discipline is not about perfection. It's about persistence and progression. It's a lifestyle. It's the foundation upon which you can build your dreams and turn them into reality. So until next time, stay consistent, stay focused. And as always, let's level up. Remember, I always have your six. Make sure to share this episode with your family,
