Discipline Pt 3
The Amplified Impact Podcast
April 5th, 2023
Today we are diving into part 3 of 7, in our framework to build unbreakable self discipline.
You don’t have to love it… do it anyways. I actually have this quote on a sticky note on my computer, so that I’m always reminded of this.
One of my favorite quotes is that amateurs wait until they feel ready, professionals just get up and go to work.
You will never feel ready because the biological you is fantastic at making you feel unprepared, overwhelmed, and insecure. Because of that… you just won’t take action, you lack self discipline.
So… how do you overcome this and build unbreakable self discipline?

Pt 3.
[00:00:00] Anthony: What’s going on everybody? I just wanted to let you know real quick that the Hyper-Focused Masterclass is officially live. We put a ton of time and energy into this project, and based on all the positive feedback so far that we’ve received from students, it’s. It’s pretty awesome. Seriously, we’re, we’re really psyched on how it all turned out.
If you’re interested in learning all the habits, rituals, routine systems, process, these frameworks and more that you know, help me turn my ADHD into a superpower to get out of massive debt and build a 70 million real estate portfolio over the past 10 years, then you’re definitely gonna want to head over to beyond the apex.com/hyperfocus and check it out.
All right, let’s get to the show. Hey, what’s up? All you beautiful people. Welcome back to the podcast. Today we are diving. Third part of our six part framework for developing unbreakable discipline. So if you don’t have context, I would recommend highly that you go back to the beginning of the series, go listen to episode one, then go listen to episode two, because these all kind of build and stack on top of each other.
And so if you want to understand how to build, [00:01:00] uh, this unbreakable discipline so that you can apply it to your own life to overcome procrastination, um, laziness, distraction, um, self-sabotage, all that, all that good stuff, then definitely go back to the beginning of this series. Today we’re gonna dive into the second part of the.
Which is, you don’t have to love it, do it anyway. And this is one of the only sticky notes that I have on my computer actually. It just says, you don’t have to love it, do it anyway. One of my favorite quotes, and I cannot remember who said this off the, off the top of my head, he said, amateurs wait until they feel ready.
Professionals just get up and go to work. And the truth is, when it comes to doing hard things, you will never feel ready. You will never. Feel ready because the biological you is fantastic at making you feel unprepared, overwhelmed, and insecure, that you as a result, you just don’t take action. And the key word in that sentence [00:02:00] is feel the biological you, makes you feel unprepared.
But guess what, guys? The universe does not care how you feel. It cares about what you do, which is. Because most of us never feel like doing hard things, and by definition because hard things are hard, you’re probably not gonna want to do them. There’s also many easier options. Of course, you would just default to that, but if you wanna move forward towards your greatness, if you wanna develop discipline, you have to develop a bias towards acting in accordance with your thoughts, not your feelings.
The trick then to achieving incredible results is, To always act in spite of how you feel. And I found it really helpful in my own life to just always recall and keep at the top of my mind that I’m never gonna feel like it. It’s never gonna feel like the right moment. That’s not what matters at the end of the day.[00:03:00]
What matters is that you show up and do the work. When I started writing science fiction, I was researching a lot of writers and trying to figure out like their processes and how they kind of sparked the muse or got the inspiration to, to do the work. And there was this guy back in, I don’t wanna say like the forties or fifties, he was interviewed and they asked him like, how have you been so prolific?
How do you do this? And. You know, he, he goes, he goes, I have a muse, but she shows up every morning at 9:00 AM and does the work. And I, I found that to be really helpful, which is if you show up, the inspiration will appear as well. Um, just showing up and doing the work has a way of, um, becoming something truly fantastic.
Action begets action. Progress begets more progress. Energy deployed into a system, creates more energy within that system. And that’s not technically true from like a physics [00:04:00] background. Um, however, it’s what I would call trai true, which is it trends in the direction of truth and therefore it’s helpful as a framework, as a concept to, to adopt.
And so just remember, you don’t have to love. Do it anyway. In fact, don’t expect to love it. You will not love it. Whatever the thing is that you need to do, you will not love it, but you do it anyway. And one of the ways that I have found that was really helpful is, um, something that we’re gonna talk about in the, the fourth part of this framework, which is to become the master.
And the slave of yourself. So stay tuned for that. If that episode’s already out, you can, you can go listen to that one. Otherwise, that’s gonna be coming out in two days. So this was a short one. It’s a quick hitter because, you know, some of the, the most important poignant lessons, um, they’re not deep, they’re not complex, they’re simple.
And this one is you don’t have to love it. Do it anyway. That includes your work, your relationships, all sorts of things in life that just need to get done. [00:05:00] And the moment will never feel right. You’ll never feel. That’s okay. Do it anyway. So I hope this brought you some value. If it did, awesome, let me know.
