How many times have you told yourself, 'I'll start when I feel more motivated?' Stop lying to yourself. Motivation is a myth. It's fleeting, unreliable. If you're waiting for it, you're wasting your life. This episode dismantles the motivation myth and reveals the true driver of action: DISCIPLINE. Become the best husband and leader you can: www.thedadedge.com/mastermind Larry Hagner cuts through the noise and delivers the hard truth: Motivation is a lie; discipline is the only truth. Successful men don't rely on feelings; they rely on action. Small, daily wins create unstoppable momentum. Your "why" is your fuel. The 3-step process to discover a purpose that makes quitting impossible. Here's why this works: Studies show that discipline is a stronger predictor of success than motivation. Small wins release dopamine, creating a positive feedback loop that fuels further action. A strong "why" activates the brain's prefrontal cortex, enhancing focus and persistence. This episode is a challenge: write down one thing you've been avoiding, and do it for just five minutes today. Stop waiting for motivation; start taking control of your life. www.thedadedge.com/friday202 www.themensforge.com www.thedadedge.com/25questions www.thedadedge.com/alliance
