David Campell once said that “discipline is remembering what you want.” The quote carries a lot of truth in just a few words. Returning your focus to larger goals is a daily effort in discipline. In fact, in today’s age of smartphones, rapid-fire communication, and absurdly busy schedules, it has become even harder to keep your long-term goals and aspirations in mind. Ever-changing priorities, schizophrenic work settings, and the never-ending battle of work-life balance can often distract you from your bigger plans and reduce your thinking to the problems and…

Striking out with a new business is an incredible experience. You finally get to work for yourself, reap the rewards of your hard work and intelligence, and put into practice the millions of ways you could do things better than at your old job. (If you don’t have at least one million improvements in mind, you haven’t worked in an office for longer than a week.)
