Chloe Clark
My self-discipline stems from a variety of sources, including my values, motivations, habits, and the environment in which I find myself. These factors equally contribute to my ability to achieve my goals and consistently challenge myself. Read More>>

My self-discipline comes from my drive to want to be extremely successful. Every day I wake up and say to myself how can I be GREAT in real estate today! How can I set myself apart from other agents in an effort to gain more clients. I have found that over the years I have to be very creative with my marketing as a real estate agent because ultimately this is how my clients find me. Being a real estate agent is a referral business, its sales, whether its social media or word of mouth and passing out a business cards. Read More>>

Self-discipline has been gradual process for me over the years, and it remains an ongoing effort. As someone who made the choice to venture into self-employment, I constantly face a personal challenge of ‘me versus me,’ as I am solely responsible for my own success. Read More>>

My self-discipline comes from within. I don’t believe anyone can teach you how to be self-disciplined. It takes time and you have to have that drive that will help you succeed. As a Libra, I can easily get over-whelmed with the smallest tasks and if that happens, I won’t get anything accomplished because I’m in my head too much and just start to put things off to the next day, which can turn into weeks and then to months. With that being said, I had to do something that will help me focus to getting anything accomplished in a timely manner. I learned that in any type of school or work setting, I have to make a to do list and break up assignments or tasks so that I won’t get overwhelmed. That let’s me know exactly what needs to get done that day and not over think anything. It makes me feel good to check off the tasks on that list and that gives me the confidence that I can accomplish anything and do more. Read More>>

I’ve always been one to have some sort of self-discipline. Growing up in a military family with Mississippi roots there was always discipline implemented into my life. However, during my incarceration is when I really started to gain some much needed self-discipline. I honestly had lost focus and was doing whatever I wanted. During my time in the wilderness I gained so much self-discipline. I had to really refocus and allow God to put me back on track. We can be given discipline on all levels in our lives but is it ultimately up to each person to have self-discipline moving through this journey that we call life. Read More>>

As a small business owner of two F45 studios, I am often asked where my self-discipline comes from.

My self-discipline comes from the inner voice telling me to do what I love. If you wake up every day to do what you love, what you feel passionate about, then you have no choice but to be self-disciplined. Sometimes we may feel like doing what we love is not enough, or that we may never make it in that field. However, that’s when your will power has to be strong enough to keep you disciplined in what you do to make that dream come true. Read More>>
Coco Roberts
From the age of 13/14 when I got my first job, I was disciplined enough to get myself up, and be to work on time without my mother having to do it. I remember y mom having three jobs at one point, so I knew that she needed rest. I would not dare wake her up when I knew that she just got home in the wee hours in the morning sometimes. Being raised by a single mother, who worked very hard to raise five children, taught me self-discipline, and I never lost it. Read More>>
