Become Disciplined -“Rinse the cottage cheese to get the extra cheese off”

Dave Scott, Who won the Hawaii Ironman Triathlon six times, would ride his bike for 75 miles, swim 20,000 meters and run 20 miles every single day. Dave scott did not have a weight problem with the 5000 plus calories he was burning everyday. Yet, He believed low fat and high carbohydrate diet would give him the extra edge. So Dave, who burnt over 5000 calories per day would rinse his cottage cheese every day before lunch and dinner every day to get the extra fat off.

No evidence that he needed to do it to win the Ironman Triathlon, but the discipline with which he executed these small steps everyday, believing that it would make him a tad bit more competitive. One more small step to all the other small steps to create a consistent program of super discipline.

Jim Collins, the author of Good to Great cites that Great companies appear boring and pedestrian looking from the outside, but on close inspection, they’re full of people who display extreme diligence and a stunning intensity (I guess they rinse their cottage cheese every day).
