In the book
Self-discipline is the thing that holds it together — setting the goal and then taking the action again and again — and the whole sequence distills to a simple formula: clarity of purpose, a compelling reason to act, a sound strategy, consistent action, and the flexibility to adapt as you go. Keep asking the one question that cuts through busywork, what moves the needle?, and pour your effort there. And when the work stalls, as it will, have your tools ready. — Goals, Action & Defining Success (Goal/Action/Success/Motivation)
