What Does it Take to Motivate Me?

Over the past several days it has occurred to me that I move from being motivated to continue this business to "what have I done!" I am sure more of you feel the same way. I watch as those new distributors rocket out of the shoot and get to first base before anyone can blink an eye.

Most of these fast starters eventually cannot keep up the pace but still earn a good income. Unfortunately,I am not one of the fast starters anymore because I learned that motivation if often fleeting but longevity is much easier. Here is why:

Number one - I am motivated but I do not like to rush into doing things that are against my beliefs.

Number two - I am here for the long haul and will "drip" my way through the first months until I gain momentum. What I mean here is that I am a CONSTANT and I am PERSISTENT in working my way through the maze.

Number three - I work methodically and understand if something is not my genius then I either learn to make it my genius or I hire someone to do the job.

Number Four - I work at the strategic level and dive into the details where necessary.

Number Five - I am ALWAYS there - I show up for meetings, jump on calls, and answer to myself for being focused on the task at hand.

Number Six - The spark is always fanned so that it never goes out - I have that spark and success will not elude me for long.

Number Seven - I work on getting support for what I am doing, not by pushing myself on them, but by living the dream as it unfolds.

Number Eight - I am constantly educating myself by reading books on how to be a more effective person and how to escalate the business. My latest book is Harmonic Wealth - wow what insights!

Number Nine - I keep an eye on the prize by focusing on what I must accomplish each day to move the business forward. I use the 6 steps process for making sure I know when I am creating value-add, business-value or no value at all.

Number Ten - Health is of utmost importance - this is really what creates wealth and being able to live the dream - don't hold back when it comes to health (see what Protandim can do for you www.VitalHealthLV.com)

Remember this is my laundry list of what is important to me for moving forward, yours may be different, but I do know that I am of one mind and I know success is here because of it.

6 Things that will Make YOU a Better Business Person

Everyone wants to know the secret about making money BIG and making it fast. It usually means that most of us are not willing to put in the work and be patient. If you think about it, you cannot eat your coffee cake unless you put in the right ingredients, mix it well, and then exert patience while the mixture cooks slowly in the oven. If you put any of those steps out of order, you will not have the success you expect.

The point is not to rush making the BIG bucks. You have to let things heat up. Following the recipe is key to making anything work. Making FAST and EASY money means you will also spend it quickly as well. Don’t spend your time pushing the envelope and not being patient while the business slowly heats up and comes to a boil.

So with patience in mind, and a mind set of making BIG BUCKS –here are the 6 incredible things you can do to turn your business around today and have it working for you for days to come.

1. Have a winning mind-set, do not let the negative influence your decisions when you know you are going in the right direction.

2. Write down your intentions for your business. This is not setting goals (they have an end point) but setting your mind to the direction you want to take.

3. Put a daily (or weekly) action plan together that will keep you on track with your intentions.

4. Work on your action plan each and every day.

5. Educate yourself on the latest marketing and sales techniques or hire someone that can do this for you.

6. Make a prioritized list of 6 items each evening (for the next day) and work on each item until it is completed before you move on to the next item. Keep focused on this list and make everything else that is not productive wait.
If you can follow these 6 steps, your business will soar without a question. Knowing you intentions, making an action plan and using a prioritized list is the key to mega success.
