Willpower and discipline are two main topics that Danny talked about on this episode. He begins by telling us how important it is to work in batches and setting goals for the day in advance- this lessens the burden of decision-making, which he believes is a waste of time.

\u201cIf you can structure your decision making so that you have to make a fewer decisions, you can become more capable.\u201d

Habit of thought and action:

The concept of replacing a problem with a true reward. In his case, when he feels the need or craving to drink Thai tea, he opts for coconut water instead. It\u2019s a healthier choice, and a true win - not just satisfying a temporary urge.

\u201cWillpower is the most sacred form of energy.\u201d

What does success mean to you?

\u201cBeing able to live life on your own terms.\u201d

What does balance mean to you?

Danny doesn\u2019t believe in work-life balance. What he wants us to know is that when you\u2019re working, you should focus 100% on getting the job done. Once you\u2019ve completed what you need to complete, then take a break.

\xa0

This, for him, is what balance is: putting in the work and effort, and then claiming your reward.

\xa0

What do you do to get in the zone?

\u201cIdentifying my circadian rhythm.\u201d

\xa0

What do you want to tell people to stop doing if they want to have success in their lives?

\u201cDo not take failure personally.\u201d

\xa0

\u201cStay humble, stay hungry. Know your way forward.\u201d
