I started raising and showing goats in 4-H when I was eight years old. I had to get up hours before school and had a lot of extra chores but this taught me about life, death, birth, feeding, milking and the non-sexy part of ranching…keeping the profit and loss information for my 4-H books each year. My mother was very helpful with that part. She also loved the at-risk little kid goats, so I learned from her that you just do everything you can for the animal, no matter how much work it is.  Read More>>

My self-discipline started from a very young age. I got a job at 15 and started working out around then as well. I had to develop very good time management skills at this point if I was going to be able to get everything that I wanted to get done. Working out and staying on top of my finances have always been something I have taken very seriously. I am aware of my goals and that is what drives me to keep going. If you don’t think you have the time, you have to make the time. Read More>>

My self-discipline comes from years of being in martial arts (makes you reaaallll tough), along with a long list of self-help books, and being frustrated with myself. When you realize that you are exactly where you are in life because of YOU, and you’re not happy with the place you’re in, that’s an uncomfortable spot to be, but a lot can be born from that realization.

Let’s start by laying this out on the table- growing up, I moved approximately 26-30 times. I was always the new kid in class and moved so often throughout the Chicagoland, I never prioritized my studies. The most important thing to me was adapting to my environment so that I could at least feel like I had a community. Self discipline isn’t an attribute that existed until I broke into my mid-20’s.

My need for self discipline goes all the way back to my childhood. I am the sixth of eight children and by the time my youngest brother was born, our ages ranged from 16 to newborn. While I’d like to convey my brothers, sisters, and I were raised by both of our parents, the stark truth is the first six of my siblings, including me, were mostly single-handedly raised by our mom.  Read More>>
