In this week’s Monday Morning Motivation, host Anna Steinfest dives into one of the most critical habits every small business owner must master: self-discipline.

Unlike traditional jobs, business owners don’t have a boss looking over their shoulder—and that freedom can lead to procrastination, distraction, and stalled progress.

In this episode, Anna explains why discipline matters more than motivation when running a business, and how consistent, focused action is the true driver of growth. You’ll learn:
✅ How procrastination costs your business real opportunities
✅ Why motivation is unreliable—and what to use instead
✅ 3 simple action steps to build a daily discipline habit that actually works

Whether you're struggling with follow-through or just need a fresh start, this episode will help you reset, refocus, and take control of your time and success.

🎧 Tune in now and start building the habits that lead to long-term results!
