Transcript

Hi, I’m Rebecca and you’re listening to Brain Snacks, the podcast that brings you bite-sized tips for designing a life you love. 

In this series, Dangerously Disciplined, we’re revealing four simple steps to take the pain out of being disciplined and make it a natural part of your life. 

In episodes 1 and 2, you plotted coordinates for where you’re at right now and where you want to get to. And now that you have a clear line-of-sight from the present moment towards your ideal future state, you can learn to tailor your habits to create lucky streaks that carry you from here to there. 

And I say ‘lucky streaks’ because setting up good habits facilitates success in a way that makes it seem effortless. And isn’t that what luck is? A case of preparation meeting opportunity? So, let’s get you prepared with layers of simple, constructive habits so that when opportunity knocks, you’re prepared to make the most of it.
