Foundations of Discipline – Entry 1

Motivation is Fleeting. Discipline is Forever.

Motivation is great—when you have it.
 But what about the days when you don’t?

What do you do when you’re cold, exhausted, stressed, or just plain unmotivated?
 Do you wait for inspiration to strike?
 No.
 You fall back on your discipline.

Discipline is the engine that keeps moving when motivation stalls.
 It doesn’t rely on how you feel—it relies on what you’ve committed to.
The early mornings, the reps, the prep, the habits—that’s where success is built.

If you build your discipline, you’ll realize something powerful:
 You don’t need motivation to be successful.

Talent Is Not Enough

As we begin the hiring process for the upcoming term, I’m spending time training my interview committee—not just to identify skills, but to recognize something far more important: work ethic.

I’m not looking for the most naturally talented candidates. Talent is common. What’s rare is someone who walks into the room and shows they’ve done the work—someone who took the time to research our district, prepare thoughtful questions, and connect their answers directly to the values we represent.

I want someone who makes me want to coach them, someone whose drive is so obvious that I feel compelled to help them reach their next goal. Talent is something I can help develop, but a strong work ethic is not.

And let’s be honest—no one has time to train someone to care.

Talent might get you in the room, but work ethic earns you the seat.

Every day is an interview. Show up like it.

The Edge of the Successful

There are mornings when I don’t want to work out. It’s cold, I’m tired, or life just feels inconvenient. But in those exact moments, I remind myself:

“What I do when it’s uncomfortable is what sets me apart.”

Success isn’t about showing up when it’s easy. It’s about showing up especially when it’s not. Don’t chase comfort to prove you’ve made it. Instead, embrace discomfort to prove you’re becoming who you were meant to be.

True growth happens in the grind—when you push through the fatigue, the cold, and the chaos. That’s the edge of success. And the edge is where transformation lives.

Memorial Day Appreciation: Remembering the Sacrifice

As we gather with family and friends, firing up grills and celebrating the unofficial start of summer, let us pause and remember the true meaning of Memorial Day. This day is not just a break from work or school—it is a solemn reminder of the men and women who gave everything in service to our nation.

“All gave some, some gave all.” — William Osterkamp

Memorial Day is a moment to honor those who never made it home, to reflect on the cost of our freedom, and to recommit ourselves to living lives worthy of their sacrifice.

To our veterans and active service members: we see you, we thank you, and we are grateful for your courage and dedication.

Wishing you a meaningful Memorial Day.

Are You Ready for the Call?

What if your dream opportunity came calling today—would you be ready?

Not just ready to interview… but ready to win the job?
Ready to step into your goals, your potential, your next level?

If your answer is anything but an instant “yes,” then it’s time to ask:
Why not?

We often hear about being in the right place at the right time. But the truth is, if you’re not prepared, the opportunity might come—and pass—without ever becoming yours.

Josh Bryant and Adam benShea use the term Gas Station Ready—the idea that you should be ready for anything at a moment’s notice, especially when it comes to protecting yourself or your loved ones.

The same mindset applies to your goals and aspirations.

  • Are you prepared to be great right now?
  • Are you prepared to achieve your goals right now?
  • Are you prepared to be who you say you want to be—right now?

Opportunities don’t wait until you feel ready. They come when they come. So get ready now.

Sharpen your resume. Practice your pitch. Train your mind and body.
Live like every day is an interview—because one day soon, the call will come.

Will you be ready to answer?
