Here are some focus points which I use on myself whenever I need more discipline in my life (nearly all the time!).  

I'll start with the premise that Marshall Sylver is 100% correct when he says, "we'll either have discipline or regrets, so we must master discipline".  To accomplish big goals, we must convert them to plans.   Here are just a few of the ways to discipline oneself, in business and life, given in the first person as positive affirmations.

1) I work hard to get my technology working.   

As an abstract random person, I have more trouble with this because I am a cornucopia of exciting, fresh ideas.  I am constantly seeking out new ways to work more efficiently and effectively.  Unfortunately, this means that if I purchase a new gizmo to help me to do something better, I have to have the discipline to actually implement the tools I've invested in, or the company has invested in.   We abstract randoms need the support of concrete sequentials, though we have lots of trouble understanding each other, so I have to force myself to finish what I've started to gain the efficiencies I

2) I like to use a vision/dream board to help me clarify what I really want.  Again, Marshall Sylver recommends to not create goals, but to create plans.  Plans are more concrete, and thus more motivational.   Knowing why, what, and how are prerequisite to actually doing something, if we are to perform the task effectively and efficiently.

3) I let go of MWA's (minimum wage activites).   I allow others the privilege of serving me with tasks that are not necessary for me to personally accomplish.  I reduce my stress level by allowing others the to accomplish some of their goals, which includes helping others (i.e., me!) .  When I let others do these jobs, I often find they are better at it than I, and this makes us both happy!   I accomplish more when I let go of MWA's!   

4) I've learned the six levels of deligation, and I am clear with those to whom I have deligated responsibilites.  When I chose to deligate any authority, accountability, or responsibilities, I make sure we communicate well requiring expectations, so no one is disappointed.  Sometimes, parents and even grandparents mess this up when they ask a child to do something then don't follow through with their expectations.   That's a presciption for disasterous results in child rearing, and it is magnified in the work place.  I accomplish much more when I make sure I'm clear with expectations and deligation.

5) Always be grateful and respectful of others.  Be thankful for the clerk working the drive-up window at the fast food restraurant; and when they do a good job, I say, "thank you for being good at what you do" (and being thankful to God that they have a job, and that God has allowed me to have a different one!).  

6) Be respectful of the earth. When you see liter in front of your path, stop and pick up a few pieces and be thankful to the God-given beauty that you're helping to restore.  If you're a smoker, don't use the earth as your ashtray. 

7) And, if you're a REALTOR, always give more in service than you receive in compensation.  Don't just satisfy your clients, amaze them.  Whenever possible, go the extra mile and you're never regret it.  The referrals will just pour in to you and in a few years, you'll have a very solid client base which is continually growing simply because of how you've mastered the basic skills of good business.
