Show Highlights:







"Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment" is a quote that really stuck with me over the years. The question formed in my mind of what is discipline? I formed a concept for me where discipline is an acronym — decide, investigate, sort, conceive a plan, implementation, persevere, loop back, intensify,  notice, and enjoy. —Timothy L. CoomerPeople need to set aside time to have these experiences that take them away from the rest of the world's worries. For me, it's flying my airplane. That's my flow. —Timothy L. CoomerYou need to be intentional about how you're balancing the parts of your life. There are strategies and good research that can back up a plan. —Timothy L. CoomerDon't be afraid to become your own guru, which is really to become an expert on the subject matter you have to deal with. Take time to learn and self-develop to get the skills and knowledge you need for the best chance of success. —Timothy L. Coomer







Timothy's final thoughts: When someone has a roadblock, I think they should step back and change environments. Think and take stock of what resources you have—think a little broader. Gather the people who could help you around you and have a brainstorming session of unedited ideas. I think that stimulates thoughts and helps people change that worldview of what challenge you're facing.
