Self-discipline

Essentially it comes down to giving up little pleasures so that you may have the larger pleasures in the future.

For example if you skip fast food for a month you will probably have an extra $100-$200 in your pocket at least at the end of the month.

Just pick out any vice you have and realize that avoiding that buys will help you either physically or financially in the long run if you stick to it.

Also remember, nothing changes if nothing changes!

I picture where I want to be in a year, then when I need motivation do get something done or save money, whatever. I remind myself that if I don't get what I need to do done I'll be in exactly the same place I am now, just a year older. Works every time.

Can't do that last rep? If I don't I'll be lifting the same weights next month. Don't want to run anymore? If I don't I'll still be out of breath in the same place next month. Don't feel like studying? Won't have additional leverage to ask for a raise next month (or whenever you're done with what you are learning)
