I was a Division I athlete in name only. I had elite speed and athleticism but never became elite. I was limited by disappointment and failure became my identity. I lacked the psychological aptitude that makes college athletes successful on and off the field. After years of disappointments and seeing how people's success led to the next success I feared that the first success was nothing but luck.
But then something happened. I changed the way I thought. I faced my fears by developing new disciplines. And today, I’m helping others create vision and act on their goals.

In this episode of Discipline Over Fear, Nick and I discuss New Year's resolutions, baseball statistics and compound interest.
So many of us say: I'll start tomorrow, next week, next month or next year? But, what if the success of our plans depends, not so much on what we choose to do tomorrow, but on the very thing we choose to do next?
In our attempts to make improvements in our lives we look for The home run. But the home run may not even be the most valuable statistic in baseball, much less our dreams. Perhaps success is found by understanding our motives and assessing where we are in proximity to our dreams.
Maybe if we do these things, we’d find that success is nearer to us right now, than any other day that might be in front of us.
Happy Listening!
