Tim Han, an entrepreneur, high-performance coach, online marketing expert, and international speaker shares his 3 proven methods for gaining self-discipline. Use his advice to elevate your life to a whole new level.

“One of the traits I notice from hanging around with millionaires as well as billionaires is that they’re all able to self-control themselves and stay incredibly disciplined in whatever they do.”

“Discipline is one of the biggest keys to success.”

“It’s a habit you will see and a trait you will see amongst incredibly successful people out there.”

“I was far from disciplined a few years ago when I was hanging around in a gang and smoking weed, the alarm clock was non-existent.”

“I know what it’s like to procrastinate. I know what it’s like to feel depressed, not wanting to do anything.”

“I managed to get out of that rut by using these three traits that allowed me to do that.”

“So if you actually take action on what I’m going to say, I can assure you that you’re going to start getting results.”

“I truly believe it’s all about learning from people who have actually been at where you used to be and actually managed to get themselves out.”

“Once you’re more disciplined in your life you actually start living more of a fulfilled life because discipline allows you to have more freedom in your life.”

“Discipline is the ability to self-control your primitive base desires.”

“We are designed to survive and replicate, so that is why people give into their primitive desires at times as they do not know any better. That is the behavior of average people.”

“Average people don’t know how to control their mind, and they don’t have this knowledge about primitive desires in regards to why they procrastinate and hit the snooze button, it is because it’s just us as human beings, it’s natural.

“Every one of us, even those who are striving to be successful are aware of the fact that our mind is going to push us the other way.”

“Our mind wants us to hit the snooze button. Our mind wants to push the work aside and let us rest. But it’s the people who are able to self-control themselves, they are the ones who make it big.”

“Here are the 3 points that will literally change your life if you force it on yourself.”

“The first thing I did was to change my identity. And the biggest reason for that is because your behavior will never deviate from the internal mapping.”

“The strongest force in human psychology is the need to remain congruent with how you identify yourself.”

“So how you view yourself right now, guess what? You’re going to act in accordance to exactly that. If you view yourself as a procrastinator, you’re going to procrastinate. However, if you view yourself as a productive entrepreneur, that is what you will be.”

“The purpose of a goal is not to achieve the goal. The purpose of a goal is to see who you must become in order to achieve that goal.”

“Every goal is going to shape you into the person you’re going to be. Every goal is going to change you positively.”

“Think about that. Think about the goals you’ve achieved in the past. Did it change you? Of course. Your mind shifted.”

“Every goal is going to change you and the question is, who are you right now, without your name?”

“What labels have you enforced on yourself? What stick-it notes must you take off? Your identity is literally like stick-it notes.”

“Throw away the negative labels that you have attached to yourself and attach the positive ones that you want, and affirm those to yourself every single morning. Who are you? Well, I’m a fearless entrepreneur who eats uncertainty for breakfast.”

“If you keep affirming to yourself those positive affirmations/labels to yourself you’re going to become that. That is what I did eight years ago when I used to view myself as a stoner, lazy ass, and violent.”

“I viewed myself as shy and anxious, and I was just acting in accordance to that.”

“You have to realize that you’ll never deviate from the internal mapping, therefore you must change the internal mapping.”

“You must change how you view yourself in order to stay more self-disciplined.”

“So decide who you must become in order to achieve that goal and become that person in advance. That will allow you to actually achieve that goal.”

“Millionaires become millionaires. The only way you’re going to become successful is to become that successful person right now.”

“You must think, act, and behave like a millionaire in order to become a millionaire.”

“Second point is about setting a big forfeit. The reason being is that human beings are twice as motivates to avoid pain than they are to seek pleasure.”

“Therefore, the way you can actually influence yourself to be more disciplined is to actually attach a lot of pain to not achieving that goal.”

“Work out what you must achieve every week and set a huge forfeit that scares the hell out of you. What forfeit can you put on yourself if you don’t achieve what you set out to achieve that week that you must pay.”

“The more pain you attach, the more likely you can achieve those goals.”

“Use the power of forfeit; the pain and pleasure principle.”

“Also, set up what happens if you actually achieve your goals. You should reward yourself when you do something good. You must reward your subconscious mind when it’s doing something good. And then it will say, wow I’m getting treated now, so I must act like that more.”

“So set a big forfeit because you’re more likely to stay self-disciplined.”

“Third point is all about accountability, this is a huge thing when it comes to self-discipline.”

“The more people you tell in whatever you want to achieve, the more likely you’re going to achieve it. It’s honestly so powerful when it comes to achieving goals.”

“That is why coaching is so powerful, that is why I really recommend getting a coach. To hold you accountable, who can basically work out your internal mapping that can help you in assisting in mastering your life. That’s what really helped me transform my life.”

“Having a coach that holds me accountable towards my actions and being part of a mastermind that I’m currently in, it really make me take action.”

“It’s about the law of conformity. Being in a mastermind pushes me to achieve my goals for the weeks/months as they hold you to a higher standard or you will be most likely kicked out because you didn’t take any action.”

“Law of conformity, you will do what other people do. So your level of net-worth will rarely exceed your level of network.”

“So it’s really about finding your friends who are go-getters. As a motivational speaker said ‘Show me your friends and I will show you your future’.”

“So find serious friends that can hold you accountable or get a coach that can hold you accountable. Tell them exactly what you want to achieve and I can assure you that you will feel more motivated as a result.”

“Find a strategy of you setting yourself up to win. Find a way that you can set yourself up to win in advance.

“Really start self-controlling yourself and you will start to see more results. The key to success is discipline.”

“Follow your heart and take action and go live the life you were born to live.”
