In this episode of the Next Level Income podcast, I talk with Daniel Woodrum—entrepreneur, coach, and co-author of The Dark Side of Discipline. Daniel shares how relentless discipline helped him build two successful gyms, but also nearly burned him out. He explains that without the right systems and standards, discipline can actually become a liability.
We dig into practical strategies like using the Opal app to block distractions, and the power of focusing each morning on Revenue Generating Activities (RGAs). Daniel emphasizes that real success comes not from doing more, but from doing the right things with consistency and clarity. It’s about aligning your habits with your goals—not someone else’s.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by hustle culture, this episode is your reminder that systems beat willpower, and discipline should support your life—not dominate it. Grab a copy of The Dark Side of Discipline at DarkSideDiscipline.com and start building smarter habits today.
