    Go Farther Episode #17: Keeping Consistent – Motivation vs Discipline

    In this episode, Scott and Stephen discussed the critical importance of consistency and the distinction between discipline and motivation. Discipline gets things done whether you feel like it or not, whereas motivation is merely a temporary boost.
    Staying consistent is challenging, especially for entrepreneurs with demanding schedules. For tasks such as regularly releasing new marketing content or making your sales calls, success comes from discipline, not motivation. While motivation is fleeting, discipline breeds consistency and lasting results.

    Go Farther Episode #16: You are not alone - Why we do this
     
    In this episode, we had a genuine human-to-human conversation. As entrepreneurs, we're often expected to wear a mask or a Superman cape, but what’s real is behind all that.
    I shared a day where I ended feeling exasperated and frustrated. If you're a parent, spouse, or partner and an entrepreneur, you’ve likely had days like this. Knowing I'm not alone reminded me that others are going through similar challenges.
    If you’re working hard to build a company and feeling overwhelmed, remember you're not alone. There are people facing far worse issues than billing problems or juggling family roles. This repost serves as a reminder that our challenges are real, but so is our ability to overcome them.
