Discipline alone can lead to burnout while devotion transforms exhaustion into fulfillment and sustainable success. The journey from living in the back of a supplement store to building a purpose-driven coaching business reveals the critical difference between pushing through tasks and being pulled forward by passion.

• Discipline comes from the mind—structured, rigid, obligatory—and stems from "I have to" thinking
• Devotion comes from the heart—energizing, fulfilling—and stems from "I get to" thinking
• Burnout happens when energy-draining activities consistently outweigh energy-giving ones
• Create two columns (should vs. want to) to audit your daily tasks and identify imbalances
• Start with small changes to improve your energy ratio rather than attempting dramatic overhauls
• Give yourself permission to prioritize joy and fulfillment alongside achievement
