1. 5 Ways to Motivate Yourself and Others
“You don’t overcome challenges by making them smaller but by making
yourself bigger.” – John C. Maxwell
When it comes to getting results, it takes motivation and ability.
Motivation makes things happen.
Where there’s no will, there’s no way. One of the best ways to improve your
personal effectiveness is to master your motivation and find your drive.
2. If you can master motivation, you can deal with life’s setbacks, as well as
inspire yourself to always find a way forward, and create new experiences
for yourself, and follow your growth.
In this post, I’ll demystify motivation and give you the motivation tools that
really work.
1. Connect to your values.
This is the ultimate secret. If you can connect the work you do to your
values, even in small ways, you can change your game.
One of my values is learning and growth.

I find ways to grow my skills in any situation. For example, I don’t just “call
back a customer.” I “win a raving fan.” I don’t just “do a task.” I “master my
craft.” I don’t just “get something done.” I “learn something new.”
2. Find your WHY.
Figure out a compelling purpose. Turn this into a one-liner.
For example, when I fall off the horse, I remind myself I’m here to “make
others great.” This gets me back on track, sharing the best of what I know.
3. Change your WHY.
3. Sometimes you’re doing things for the wrong reason. Are you doing that
task to get it done, or to learn something new? Just shifting your why can
light your fire.

4. Change your HOW.
You can instantly find your tasks more enjoyable by shifting from getting
them done, to doing them right.
I think of it as mastering your craft. Make it artful.
Sometimes slower is better. Other times, the key is to make it a game and
actually speed it up. You can set time limits and race against the clock.
Changing your how can get you out of ruts and find new ways to escape the
mundane.
5. Remember the feeling.
Flipping through your head movies and scenes is one of the fastest ways to
change how you feel.
Remember the feeling. How did you feel during your first kiss? What about
laying on the grass on a sunny day?
When you feel good, you find your motivation faster.
