Most people quit before discipline wins...

Most people don’t fail because they aren’t good enough. They fail because they quit way too early.

By early I don’t mean the beginning, I mean the middle phase where they’ve been disciplined for a while but nothing has changed yet.

That’s the phase no one prepares you for.

The part where you’re doing everything right but nothing is happening.

Let me explain…

The Moment Everything Changed

I remember 2 years ago when I started going to the gym seriously.

2 months in, I looked in the mirror and saw no results. I had no confirmation that the effort was paying off.

In that moment I finally realized how hard getting into shape was going to be. Most people quit here because they question if the results will ever show.

But not me. I stopped and asked myself a simple question:

“What is the alternative?”

The answer was obvious… Staying the same.

In that moment, I had 2 clear options:

1. Stay disciplined and accept that progress would be slow.

2. Give up now and guarantee no progress.

Why Does Discipline Feel So Hard?

Discipline is difficult because it rarely gives immediate feedback.

In the early stages, effort goes out, but nothing comes back. This is why self improvement and entrepreneurship is so hard…

Because there’s no guarantee if all the sacrifice will pay off. You can months of effort into a business and still not know for years if you’re on the right path.

That uncertainty breaks most people.

The Phase Most People Quit

Most people quit during the phase where:

• Effort feels exhausting

• Progress feels invisible

• Self-doubt gets louder

• Motivation fades

You need to learn to push through this phase.
Because trust me it will pass.

The gap between average and successful people isn’t talent or intelligence.

It’s how long they’re willing to stay disciplined without proof.

If You Ever Doubt Your Path, Do This

When you feel like giving up, ask yourself the same question I asked myself:

What is the alternative?

I would rather give everything and have a chance of it working, than do nothing and have 0 chance of it ever working.

Commit to walking the path long enough for discipline to pay.

P.S. I’d love to hear what you’re currently working towards. Do you ever doubt if what you’re doing will work? Reply to this email and let me know - I read every response personally.
