Secrets of Motivation

Tweet

Because I’m a professional speaker and I talk about success, people usually position me as a motivational speaker.  As a result, I often get asked about the secrets of motivation.  Here’s what might be the most effective one:

Incremental progress.

Nothing inspires you more or causes you to motivate yourself more than actually seeing yourself getting closer to your dream.

If you need to lose 60 pounds, working out at the gym isn’t a lot of fun.  But if you lose seven pounds the first week, you’ll get excited.  You start to believe your goal may be attainable.  You exercise a little longer after getting the good news on the scale.  Each week you make some more progress.

Now you’re actually increasing muscle and decreasing fat.  Your metabolism goes up and weight starts to fall off faster.  You get even more motivated and your incremental progress pulls you toward your goal.

Let’s suppose you’re deeply in debt.  If you’re like most people in this situation, you don’t want to know the particulars and you deal with bills only as you have to.  A better strategy would be taking a complete inventory of your obligations, seeing exactly where you are, and setting up a payoff schedule.  The key is tracking the progress and seeing your debt get smaller every week.  That progress keeps you motivated.

This all is the topic on this week’s episode of Prosperity TV.  If you haven’t seen it yet, or want to watch it again, I’ve embedded it below.

So are you making progress toward your dreams?  And what do you need to start today?
