  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  Ooh, today we are talking about success and self-discipline.
• 0:34
  Not being the only key to making it happen.
• 0:38
  So you're probably surprised hearing me don't knowing what I
• 0:41
  do to say self-discipline is not the only key because, you know,
• 0:46
  that's pretty much what a lot of self-development people teach.
• 0:50
  It's all self, discipline, self, discipline, self discipline.
• 0:53
  And, yes, that is a huge piece of it.
• 0:55
  And at the same time, there are other things that you have to
• 0:58
  consider. And we've been talking about
• 1:00
  some of them this week where you have to work on your environment
• 1:03
  and you have to, you know, stack your small decisions and kind of
• 1:08
  reward yourself in that way by saying.
• 1:10
  Okay I'm going to give myself that pause in time before I
• 1:13
  actually go ahead and, you know, jump into things but one of the
• 1:18
  biggest things that will help you in your process of going
• 1:22
  through and saying, okay, how do I create this successes that I
• 1:26
  am looking for, in my life you're going to be surprised by
• 1:29
  this. Two things that make a heat.
• 1:30
  Absolutely huge difference. Is eliminating, your
• 1:33
  distractions. Oh God.
• 1:36
  If I had to tell you, one thing that I think is probably the
• 1:40
  most difficult thing for people to do.
• 1:43
  It's to eliminate your distractions because they happen
• 1:46
  and they happen a lot and they happen consistently.
• 1:51
  So we talked about keeping our kids off social media and making
• 1:54
  sure that our kids are safe, but do we do that with ourselves and
• 1:57
  what a tremendous distraction It is so recently I had my one of
• 2:03
  my iPad the pad that use all the time to take notes for clients
• 2:06
  stopped working and I had to shift and get a new iPad.
• 2:09
  So when I got it I made a decision to not allow it to go
• 2:14
  on any social media. Even though I have social media,
• 2:18
  I use it to connect with all my friends from all over the world.
• 2:20
  Having spent you know a lot of time at events all over the
• 2:24
  world. I have friends all over the
• 2:26
  world and I like to connect with them that way and I you know
• 2:30
  everyone has mixed emotions about social media.
• 2:32
  Mine tend to lean more towards the good side and the bad side
• 2:35
  because that's what I use it for and I don't let the bad stuff in
• 2:39
  but I'll be at let me loop back to this so I didn't put Facebook
• 2:44
  on it. I didn't put Instagram on it.
• 2:47
  I didn't put LinkedIn on it. I just kept it so that yes, it
• 2:51
  can get on. Obviously I can Google on it.
• 2:54
  I can take notes on it but I used it for all of my For the
• 2:59
  greater good as far as I was concerned and those apps for the
• 3:02
  greater good happened to be things like, you know, master
• 3:06
  class and good notes, which is where I take all the notes from
• 3:10
  my clients I have on their Learning Channel.
• 3:15
  So, like Discovery Channel, I use that because they have some
• 3:18
  great classes in the Magnolia app, which is the chip and
• 3:24
  Joanna Gaines format. And for me, It'd be just became
• 3:30
  something. That was important that I stick
• 3:34
  to that. Yes, I've got all my photo
• 3:36
  editor editing apps up there, you know, things like that, that
• 3:40
  I'm using. But I don't allow myself to get
• 3:42
  distracted with the stuff that takes you down a rabbit hole,
• 3:46
  and it made an a massive difference in my well-being.
• 3:51
  When I stopped allowing that to happen, distractions kill us
• 3:56
  every single day we start off to do something.
• 3:59
  And before you know it you're doing something else.
• 4:01
  You walk into a room you say, okay, I'm going to go get the
• 4:04
  laundry you walk in, you realize, oh I didn't feed the
• 4:06
  cat, okay, go feed the cat and then not that the cat didn't
• 4:09
  need to be fed, but that was not the intention of what you were
• 4:12
  doing. So what's incredibly important
• 4:15
  about the the path to success is eliminating, the distractions
• 4:21
  and staying on task to what you said you were going to do and
• 4:26
  not having the distractions present in your Your world.
• 4:30
  So when you eliminate them you have less of an opportunity to
• 4:32
  go off the rails. Stop eliminate him.
• 4:35
  It's the same thing as having cookies in your house.
• 4:39
  If you are you know working really hard to get healthy.
• 4:42
  Don't have cookies if you know you are not disciplined to not
• 4:46
  eat the cookies. If you have small children and
• 4:50
  you're trying to get healthy and you are someone who can't throw
• 4:53
  food away, and you keep eating what's left over on their plate.
• 4:57
  You have got to eliminate that in your life.
• 5:00
  So you have to say, to the kids, clear your plates.
• 5:03
  Don't don't let the kids, leave the plate sitting on the
• 5:06
  counter, let them throw the food away so you don't have to have
• 5:09
  the distraction of eating it and look for all these other little
• 5:13
  things in your world. If you work with someone who's
• 5:16
  constantly distracting you or apps like, Slack that constantly
• 5:19
  go off that. We have to have in order to stay
• 5:22
  connected. I use it.
• 5:23
  I get it completely works. And I have to silence it
• 5:28
  sometimes so that I can focus. I shut the distractions down.
• 5:31
  So today's message, shut the damn distractions down.
• 5:35
  If you want to be successful and move yourself further in your
• 5:39
  path of self-discipline. All right, my friends.
• 5:41
  I will see you tomorrow. Have a blessed day.
• 5:44
  Bye.
