How often do we let willpower decide our day's success and how can we change that?Show Summary:In this episode, I take a deep dive into the concept of willpower, inspired by my early days at Middle Tennessee State University and a fascinating study by Roy Baumeister. We explore the limitations of relying solely on willpower to make significant changes in our lives and businesses, using personal anecdotes and scientific studies to illustrate how willpower is a finite resource that we deplete daily. From resisting the temptation of cookies to automating daily decisions like Steve Jobs, I share insights on managing willpower to create the life and business you desire.Takeaways:Willpower is like a muscle; it can be built up but also gets depleted throughout the day.Automating trivial decisions frees up willpower for more important tasks.Setting office hours and creating boundaries helps in conserving willpower for tasks that truly matter.Managing your willpower correctly leads to doing more by doing less.Discipline, not willpower, is the key to unlocking freedom and potential.Mastering willpower isn't about having more of it; it's about strategically deploying what you have to make every day count.==================================================================Charles Alexander has been a full-time Business Coach since 2007.
