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!

How to be a successful wealth builder ptII

Today the sirens of credit card are luring most people to the rocks of disaster, their enticing song buy now and pay later, is indeed truth in advertising, but it was certainly not intended to be. What exactly are the people doing? They are paying and the price they paying to have it now are clear.

Everywhere you see broken marriages, health, homes, and even lives. But the successful wealth builder knows the danger of incurring unnecessary debt and understands that the primary way or option to avoiding it is by delaying gratification.

The power of compounding (POC)

For you to become a successful wealth builder, you cannot ignore this powerful tool. Just as you can delay gratification to avoid falling into debt, you can also decide to save $100 monthly to your nest egg. in forty years ( compounded at the average S & P 500 rate of 10.2%) that extra saving will worth close to about $700,000:00 . what about if you can afford $200 monthly into your nest egg for forty years? Do the calculation your self; I can hear you say that is a lot of money.

Let me inform you of something here, just as compound interest has the power to work for you it can also work against you and I know you wouldn’t want it or will you? That thing that seem like a small thing now, can in the long run, steal your wealth. Thus, a successful wealth builder understands the power of compound interest.

Two kinds of people

There are two kinds of people, those who earn interest and those who pay interest. For you to be a successful wealth builder you, it’s mandatory for you to belong to the category of those who earn interest .because that is the fundamental difference between the wealthy and the desperate.

You don’t deserve it

Come on you deserve it is the greatest marketing sham they are employing against consumers all over the world. This is the result of years of advertising brainwashing. You deserve what? Something that will decay and lose value within a year, yet will continue to financially enslave you long after your infatuation with the mental is gone? Is this fair? You can see why you don’t deserve it.

Thus, the next time you here hear someone say,” you deserve it,” red flags should instantly go up in your mind. Someone is trying to steal your dreams for themselves.What you really deserve is individual freedom, personal power, and peace of mind which I know you will get hence forth.

See you at the top.
