It is never finished. You always have more to do. Another mission. Another task. Another goal. And the enemy is always watching. Waiting. Looking for that moment of weakness. Looking for you to exhale, set your weapon down, and close your eyes, even just for a moment. And that’s when they attack. So don’t be finished. Be starting. Be alert. Be ready. Be attacking. BE RELENTLESS. Let the enemy stop. Let the enemy rest. Let the enemy finish. You? Don’t finish. Don’t stop. Don’t rest. Not until the enemy is completely destroyed. And even then … Turn your focus inward, on yourself, and take the opportunity not to rest … But to make yourself better, faster, smarter, stronger. Because with those goals, nothing is ever finished. APPLICATION OF DISCIPLINE Discipline starts with waking up early. It really does. But that is just the beginning; you absolutely have to apply it to things beyond waking up early. It is working out, every day, making yourself stronger and faster and more flexible and healthier. It is eating the right foods, to fuel your system correctly. It is disciplining your emotions, so you can make good decisions. It is about having the discipline to control your ego, so it doesn’t get out of hand and control you. It is about treating people the way you would want to be treated. It is about doing the tasks you don’t want to do, but you know will help you. Discipline is about facing your fears so you can conquer them. Discipline means taking the hard road—the uphill road. To do what is right. For you and for others. So often, the easy path calls us: To be weak for that moment. To break down another time. To give in to desire and short-term gratification. Discipline will not allow that. Discipline calls for strength and fortitude and WILL.

Discipline Equals Freedom

Jocko Willink

When team members don’t understand, they can’t execute. Therefore, plans must be simplified so that everyone on the team recognizes the overall “commander’s intent”—the greater purpose behind the mission—and understands their role in achieving mission success. Orders must be communicated in a manner that is “simple, clear, and concise.” The true test for whether plans and orders have been communicated effectively is this: The team gets it. When the people on the team understand, then they can execute. The third Law of Combat: Prioritize and Execute. When multiple problems occur simultaneously (which happens often), taking on too many problems at once results in failure.

The Dichotomy of Leadership

Jocko Willink, Leif Babin

In the late 1990s, an Olympic coach explained to me how he instructed high-performance athletes to visualize themselves performing their respective events. He encouraged them to see and feel themselves acting in that crucial moment. Extrapolating that technique, he knew that if he could train business owners to see and feel themselves performing like an athlete, their businesses would operate at the same high-functioning level. He created that concept of leaning out into the future, and I liked it so much that I simply co-opted it to use for business.
