• 36 - The 4 Dimensions of Discipline: The Titan’s Blueprint for Growth

  Most people chase motivation, Titans build discipline.

You’ll learn the 4 dimensions of personal discipline (mental, physical, emotional, and time), why “Titans don’t live in reaction, we live in rhythm,” and how to install practical habits that multiply results: time-blocking, margins (not laziness), boundaries that create breakthroughs, and rituals that beat motivation every time.
