MOTIVATION
Three is a good number and trying to keep my focus on
only three things is a difficult thing for anyone, but I’ve come to the
conclusion that I must live with it. My rational is that everything I do (and
there is much more than just these 3 things; I assure you) is under the
umbrella of marketing. That’s probably why I believe that “everything” is
marketing. Elsewhere I spoke on money, and then about marketing so now we come
to my third “m”, “motivation”.
When I conduct workshops and appear as a speaker in one
of our beautiful fifty states (I am still waiting to be invited overseas so if
you know someone…?) I definitely have to be “motivational” to not only present
the case for what I’m sharing but also to get the audience with me long enough to
try it out themselves to hopefully get some measure of success; enough for them
to continue on to realize more. But as a business person, what is it that
motivates us to do what we do; to do it with all we’ve got in us to give all we
can to another in exchange for something in like kind; usually in the form of
credit card, coin or cash.
Zig Ziglar told us that “There is no such thing as a lazy person; he is either sick or
uninspired.” I also believe that the beginning of motivation is the
realization that, as he also said, "In
the game of life, before you get anything out, you must put something in!"
This week when you are thinking about your business success
(you do think about your business, right?), think about yourself first; because
your business is the direct reflection of you; your thoughts and your
philosophy. When you are inspired,
your business will be electric and “on”. In the game of business, as it is with
life, when you put something (more) in, you’ll get something more out; usually
much more. You are not tired, you are not inspired!
Assignment:
Write out 10 ways how you can do more this week to make
your business “more”.
As promised, here’s my ad:
