Why Discipline Needs Direction

from The Playbook · host David Meltzer, Entrepreneur.com

In today’s episode, I share how growing up with a single mom shaped my relationship with faith, money, and purpose. I explain why skills and knowledge are only your basement, not your destiny, and how chasing approval, wealth, and status leaves a God sized hole that never fills. I reflect on losing and rebuilding everything after realizing discipline without intention falls short. When discipline aligns with divine direction, it becomes devotion. Living for the sake of family, community, and service changed my life, my finances, and my happiness. True financial literacy starts with humility, gratitude, and asking the right people for help.
