Why Discipline is Key
Written by Dave Urichuck
Are your habits controlling you? If so, you are not alone. The lives of many people are controlled by their habits. It may be time for some discipline in your life. Discipline is defined as a commitment to yourself in order to succeed and soar in life. The commitment is to do what you have to do, even when you don’t feel like doing it. You should be aware of your detrimental habits in order to take control. It is time to replace ineffective habits with effective ones, set goals and begin to soar in life.
Habits usually exist without our knowledge. If you introduce discipline as a daily ritual, you will consciously become aware of what you are doing. You need to learn to manage what is within your control such as your thoughts, your attitude, your self-talk and your reactions. To exercise control, you need to be aware of certain influences and let go of the things that are out of your control as for instance the weather, other people, and time.
Once you are able to establish the difference between your effective and ineffective habits, you can take the next step, start setting goals, start outlining your life plan and take action! Write down all your personal and professional desires in a journal, then categorizing them, and create an action plan. Also, think of what you can do for just one hour a day that can help get you where you want to be later in life. Breaking up large goals into numerous smaller pieces allows you to focus on the details and not get overwhelmed. Further tools to help you with setting and maintaining goals may include a prioritizing chart, a Soar Board, and a monthly monitoring chart.
Success is based on good judgment, and good judgment comes from experience. Give yourself permission to fail so you may learn. Any mistake is a learning opportunity and an act of courage. Once you learn your lesson, recognize its worth and reward yourself. Even the great Walt Disney lived through several failures personally and professionally, including bankruptcies before he became successful with the Disney brand. Be easy on yourself because the best experiences evolve from failure. If you maintain discipline in your life, you will eventually get there and you will soon harvest the fruit of your success.
The important message is that you can take control of your life, set goals and achieve those goals simply by implementing self-discipline. Discipline, again, is defined as a commitment to yourself in order to succeed and soar in life. The commitment is to do what you have to do, even when you don’t feel like doing it. Please note, any discipline will alter your life for the better. Begin today to truly live your life and begin to soar. Allow discipline to lead the way towards your successful future.

During this interview, Laura talks about how she is taking a risk to pursue her love for sailing and incorporating coaching and her experience leading teams for some of the most well-known brands in the world.
Our guest today is Erik Holberg. Erik lives in Longmont, Colorado with my wife Sherrie, kids, and a 50lb Wheaten Terrier. He enjoys local snowboarding in the winter, reservoir water sports in the summer, and heading to my next coastal destination to lead sailboat coaching adventures.
Our first conversation is with Terry Barkman of Sailboat Coaching International. Terry and Lisa chat about one aspect of how personal relationships are impacted by coach-like behaviors.
The Card Sort came into my life through a coaching client Kayla Viitamaki who is a UX (User Experience) Designer. For over two years we had been trying (and failing) to complete a Wheel of Life Exercise, and we would always find some more useful (if tangential) way of engaging with her needs and the life she was creating for herself.

The FreerangeCoach Movement is about coaches creating experiences with and for their clients. We are standing gratefully on the shoulders of those who created the coaching style of the old industrial era and reframing the coaching conversation to include experiential coaches for people living and working in the post-industrial economy.
In this inaugural episode of the FreerangeCoach podcast, we visit with the Founder the FreerangeCoach Movement Terry Barkman.
Over the past twenty five years I have piloted various vessels ranging from small sailing dinghies to fifty foot twin engine power boats and a few things have revealed themselves to me as universal. The sea is the ultimate teacher for me, bringing forth knowledge not attainable in other arenas.
By Terry Barkman - Even if it takes a long time for someone’s business to become successful, questions of worthiness become the primary issue because almost nobody starts a business that becomes immediately successful.
