BUILD THE LEADER. BECOME UNBREAKABLE
Most leaders spend their whole career trying to make the job easier — but elite leaders aren’t shaped by ease. They’re built by stacking disciplines under pressure.
As Phil Stutz says: You don’t rise to your goals. You rise to the disciplines you can sustain at your worst.
When you can stack structure, regulation, courage, and stamina, you don’t just become effective — you become unbreakable.
1. Structural Discipline — Your Rhythm
Same start time. Same targets. Same first 90 seconds. Same shutdown.
Structure isn’t optional — structure is armor.
2. Reactive Discipline — Your Regulation
You’re the anchor, not the sail.
Notice → Name → Normalize → Narrow.
A regulated leader regulates the room.
3. Expansive Discipline — Your Courage
If you’re avoiding it, it’s the door.
Courage isn’t a feeling — it’s obedience to your higher self.
4. Emotional Stamina — Your Identity
Do what needs to be done especially when you don’t feel like it.
Stamina is the glue that holds the stack together.
You become calm, clear, grounded, consistent, trustworthy — the leader whose presence steadies the entire store.
Mood runs the store.
Avoidance runs your leadership.
Chaos runs your day.
Your confidence and culture collapse.
Your family doesn’t need a perfect leader — they need the unbreakable version of you.
Pick one discipline and commit to it for 7 days.
Say it: “I run the stack. The stack builds the leader.”
