Revisiting Required Secondary Powers: Discipline
By Isaiah O’Connor
In this episode, I’m revisiting the Required Secondary Powers series and focusing on discipline. It’s not the exciting part of business, but it’s what actually keeps you going. Whether you're building balloon art or coaching clients, showing up consistently matters more than talent alone. I’ll share what I’ve learned, how I manage discipline as a dad of two, and why hitting even 70 percent of your goals can put you ahead of most.
