One of my central beliefs is that “Business is war”, therefore I argue that only people with military-style training, discipline and focus can really execute business on a large scale.
Every human is born and trained to embrace freedom, that mindset that I am free to do anything I like, whenever I like. In reality, life doesn’t work that way. If you will really hit the mark in your business, NGO or whatever you spend your time pursuing, you need this mindset I’m talking about.
My claims are backed up with research of world scale entrepreneurs I looked into. Many of them can be seen to be solving problems that affect humanity, yet they are not usually described as nice and caring people by those who work closely with them. They are more usually described as been shrewd, ruthless, heartless and with a strong sense of mission.
To many of them, living a regimented lifestyle is a key to their success. Let us be clear, even though they can also choose to live free and work anytime they like, they choose to enforce themselves to comply.
Many of these people I’m describing have strict rules like sleeping 4 hours per day, meal times at specific times, they have a specific 3 hour window in the evening for the family facetime, they have everything so rigidly planned out and thought out. These things do the magic for them.
More of us need to start making rigid schedules, doing specific things at specific times. If you can do the chore at anytime, it usually ends up undone! But what if you tied it rigidly to a time?
Send email by 2pm is much better than send email whenever I can or send email before weekend.
A little bit regimented living is good for you. At least if you really want to make good progress in life.
