Self-Discipline - The Key To Getting Things Done

Skip Reardon - Thursday, September 01, 2011
Guidelines for reducing procrastination and improving self-discipline in business are offered in this Entrepreneur Magazine article by Romanus Wolter titled "To Do or Not To Do."

"Successful entrepreneurs discipline themselves to take action even when they're weighed down by the tasks at hand. With a few guidelines, you can develop the self-discipline necessary to navigate these new boundaries and accomplish your goals with ease."

The steps to take:
  1. Establish an affirmative mind-set by giving yourself a reason to become more disciplined.
  2. Engage yourself.
  3. Start with tasks that produce immediate results.
  4. Make sure your boundaries fit the real world.

BOTTOMLINE: "It takes determination and perseverance to make self-discipline an integral part of your regular practice. You'll become stronger, and insurmountable tasks will become routine. Take conscious action, and soon you can spend more time tackling bigger challenges and reaping the rewards of greater successes."
