Warning: The path to reaching your goal likely won’t be easy.
There will be road bumps in the form of a slow month or a nightmarish listing. How you respond to such adversity is a key trait in discovering who you are and what you’re made of.
The important thing is to maintain a good attitude and clear mind. Also, be honest and introspective during tough moments.
Was that slow month a result of the market, or because you didn’t work as hard at marketing and networking? Did you set a seller’s sights too high by not properly consulting statistics and knowing your market before setting the list price you had to drop?
It’s easy to play the blame game, but sometimes the path to success can’t be completed until you look inward.
The final step of achieving success is … achieving it! So, once you do, congratulate yourself for a job well done.
If you failed to reach your goal, it’s time to once again look yourself in the mirror and ask why. Maybe you didn’t quite put forth the effort you should have. Or, perhaps the market really was that bad. Give yourself a hard critique, but also be reasonable.
Success doesn’t come easy. For some, it never comes at all. But that’s why so many people revel in the joy of chasing it.

Perhaps the best definition of self-discipline is this: “Self-discipline is the ability to make yourself do what you should do when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not.” It is easy to do something when you feel like it. It’s when you don’t feel like it and you force yourself to do it any way that you move your life and career onto the fast track.
