 Hey, what's up guys? This is coach Ben. So right now I'm going for a little stroll around the area where my office is and before I start my day, I wanted to share a story with you that has really impacted me with with my work with my career and I feel like this is gonna help you out So I know back in 2011, so this was a long long time ago at that time I was really distracted by a lot of different ideas. I wanted to do soccer training. I wanted to start a youth program I wanted to do camps. I wanted to do clinics. I wanted to do speed and agility training There's all these things I wanted to do. I wanted to start a social media business and there was like all of this clutter and really eventually what happened was I spent a year of just being more and more confused. I was chasing the the bright shiny object and I got very distracted and everything really changed for me one day when I sat down with a mentor of mine and we started talking about kind of what I was up to all the different things that I was trying to do at once and He sat me down. He's like, look you need to slow down and you need to have discipline and figure out what is the one thing that you can do and be really good at doing that before you go on and do anything else and this is the thing I've shared with a few of our mastermind members over the last couple of weeks They a lot of people have a bunch of great ideas. I think that's awesome I love ideas, but I hate ideas when they're not acted on right and when you have the discipline that means that you're going to be very focused and Discipline to me really just means that you're gonna get that job done no matter what like there's nothing that's gonna get in your way and for example I had a pretty crummy start of the week This week someone broke into my car. I had one of our payment systems go down there's like one thing after another and I Got some good perspective From my brother. He sat me down. He's like, look just relax And I and I tend to just have a type A personality. So like this week was kind of a gut check for me, too But I know that just having the discipline That's really the thing that can take you over the top to the next level with whatever it is you're doing and When I talk about discipline It's not about working 14 hours a day like Gary Vaynerchuk it's really just about maximizing your time because everybody's busy like everybody has excuses people have family people have Wives husbands sons friends social life. I get that And I'm right there with you, right? But when you start to really be disciplined with your time with your time management and You really start to prioritize your day then Everything that you really want to achieve if you're disciplined That's really going To be the thing That's going to help you become more successful. It's funny that person probably thinks I'm a psycho right now I'm walking with my phone like this so that to me guys has Really really helped me out and I know that's really my core message to all the coaches right now Who I'm one person in coaching is to keep that discipline Let's get one thing done at a time and from there we can move on and One of the things that has really helped me too and this has been a personal practice of mine Shoot, I would say probably since 2011 is Waking up early and I know if you've listened to our podcast or you've watched our YouTube videos or a newsletter You see me talk about That stuff all of the time I always talk about waking up early Like go to bed early wake up early this way in the morning you have a lot of energy and Right now for example, I can go shoot this video.

I'm gonna turn my phone off and I'm gonna get to the top You know two to three things on my priority list that I need to finish today and that way before my day really starts At 9 10 o'clock in the morning I've already gotten everything done and that right there comes down to discipline like I said so guys I hope this message helps you out if it did hit the thumbs up button here Comment below if you have any questions for me And if you really want to take your soccer business the next level I know today is Thursday every Saturday I have some free Strategy calls that I put on with coaches.
