But in my case I will say it based on my opinion because I am not successful yet. Hahaha I am working on being successful,so I am going to share my opinion based on my journey of success so far.
Now coming back to our weekly prompt discipline or motivation? Discipline and motivation are ingredients to success but only one is definitely the main ingredient.
And in my opinion discipline is the main ingredient with my reason. Being motivated to do something or go into any type of investment or business is really easy but the discipline to keep up is not easy.
It is easy to be motivated but difficult to be disciplined. Being motivated to start is easy but the discipline to finish is really hard which most people lack.
And when talking about discipline we have a lot to talk about, most people lack discipline in many aspects, some lack discipline in spending while some in time management and other in relationships and many more aspects but I will like to talk about few.

Let me start with spending money. You are motivated to start a business or a job that takes away your time and energy leaving you exhausted at the end of the day with a monthly revenue of $1,000.
And if you lack discipline in spending you end up not saving at the end of the month. If you are working and if you are having a business you end up not increasing your business because you have spent all the interest if not careful you spend it including the capital.
Now lacking discipline in time management, to me the worst of them all, like working a job that starts by 8am and you are leaving your house by 7:45am no matter the distance 7:45am is no time to leave the house.
Get to work early at least 30 minutes before work time, and with poor time management losing jobs is easier than looking for it. Coming back to entrepreneurs.

If as an entrepreneur you lack discipline in time then business becomes bad, open time and closing time matters depending on the type of business one is doing.
Coming to relationship management, neither as a white collar person or an entrepreneur we all need to know how to manage relationships.
Being disciplined is a high level of achievement we all need before we take on whatever we are being motivated to venture into.
