How do you look at discipline?
In this episode, co-hosts Dr. Michael Bugg and Dr. Jonathan Leicht become Doctors of Discipline, sharing their insights on the principle of discipline and how to use it to achieve results in your life.
It's certainly not easy, and there are plenty of struggles associated with discipline, but as our hosts share, adopting it as a part of who you are is key to long-term success both personally and professionally.
Topics covered in this episode include:
What discipline means to Dr. Bugg and Dr. Leicht
Discipline versus willpower: what's the difference?
Vision and knowing your direction supports discipline
Optimizing AND minimizing your environment

"The 5 Second Rule"
Dr. Bugg and Dr. Leicht's daily discipline exercises
With this highly tactical conversation, you’ll come away with a new appreciation of the role discipline plays in getting what you want out of life, as well as some tried and true methods you can apply to improve your level of discipline.
