Motivation 101 - The Last Article You Will Ever Need About Motivation

Everyone who is unsuccessful looks for motivation outside of themselves. They believe motivation has to come from someone else or some other thing. This article will dispel all the wrong belief about motivation and why you must develop the only true type of motivation: Self-Motivation!

Have you ever said, "I'm just not motivated..." Guess what you are not alone. I've been there. Being not motivated is the issue that everyone has. I believe there are only two groups of people when it comes to motivation: Those who are and those who are not!

I see this every single year at my gym. During January and part of February the gym is so busy I can hardly take. Every class I sign up for is booked solid. Every free weight bench is taken. Honestly, I can hardly function in this situation, but some how I get by! :

The reality is that soon enough all of these people will fall off. They will quit showing up because deep down they are not truly motivated in make a difference in their fitness lives! The same is true for anything in our lives.

Something that I am not motivated to do is clean my house. I could care less if my house is clean or dirty. I would say that I have no motivation in this area of my life.

I believe it is acceptable because I can pay someone else to do it. While taking control of your finances, health, happiness, and relationships are not areas that can be outsourced.

The best example I know of in self motivation is in my business. I work with different people every day. I am a poor judge at how self motivated someone is to reaching their dreams. It is usually the last person I think that is truly hungry for results. All of a sudden I see this person selling a ton of products out of no where. So I am always impressed.

Here is the point: True motivation comes from within. In my experience of working with thousand of people over the years in sales is self motivation is the only motivation that matters. Self motivated people don't need to be reminded of what they have to do in their lives. They don't have to be asked what are they doing today to improve their lives. They simply do.

Ask yourself, Are you self motivated? This is the only difference I have found between successful people and unsuccessful people. Self motivated people stick to their goals and figure out the solution to getting the results they want no matter what it takes!

Having the Right Attitude

As a musician and producer second guessing myself too much can be a very bad habit. There is a tendency to wonder If anything you do is very good, or if anyone would like it. This is the wrong attitude to have doing anything in life, but is particularly destructive for anyone creative.

We tend to think of our projects as children. We want people to like them, we want people to like us for creating them. The problem is you are setting yourself up for heartbreak and pain. Of course some of that is unavoidable. After all, you can crawl backwards for people and some will still ask why you didn't do it over glass. As in, some people are never satisfied and some people are just jerks. There is nothing you can do about that. Realizing and accepting that fact is hard, but necessary.

The key to the whole thing is not trying to please everyone. Please yourself first. If it sounds (looks, feels, works, etc) good to (for) you, then other people will like it. After you have the right attitude, it's a matter of finding those people. We all like to think we are islands in the ocean, the simple truth is there are millions of people just like you. Find them, and you have your audience.

As a musician I want people to listen to my music. As a business man I want them to like it enough to buy it. There is a direct conflict here. Particularly to someone anti-corporation like myself. On one hand I would like to just give away my music for everyone to listen to. On the other hand I work hard to create my music and want to be able to make a living from it. The solution for me was simple. I have music I sell, and I also make and give away songs and albums.

So you need to remember you really can do anything you want if you're willing to put the work in, and take the lumps with the praise. All problems have solutions, there is no problem so gigantic it can't be overcome with planning and perseverance. The reason people fail is because they give up.

I approach life with a never say die attitude, I hope I have helped you find a little of that for yourself.
