Self Discipline
4. Asset: Self Discipline
+ If you currently perform your work without supervision, or work on longterm projects at home without supervision, you easily pass this question.
– If you are supervised constantly at work and never accomplish anything on your own at home, you fail this question.
How To Improve:
• Coaches and psychologists might help you uncover why you have a tough time getting moving without a taskmaster.
• Check with your doctor to see if undiagnosed learning disabilities might also be the culprit.
• If you would like to improve your self-discipline, try keeping track of your goals versus what you do on a typical day. What distracts you?
How do you spend your time? Write down what you do, every day, for two weeks. (You can use increments as small as five minutes.) A lot of self-discipline is getting rid of the time-wasting activities (or at least limiting them so that they’re the occasional reward, not the daily habit).
5. Asset: Long-Term Thinking
+ If you have completed a project that took six months or more to finish, and you fully understand how you maintained your motivation during that time, you easily pass this question.
√ If you completed a project of six months or more, but don’t really know or can’t explain what kept you motivated, or if your motivation included nagging from others, you pass this question – but barely.
– A no answer, indicates that you have not finished a long-term project, so you fail this question.
How To Improve:
• Tackle a project requiring multiple steps, but with less riding on it than running your own business.
You might learn woodworking and build your own furniture. Or, you might try to increase your education—taking an evening class or obtaining professional certification will tell you a lot about your ability to sacrifice now for future gain.
