Motivation is the word derived from the word ’motive’ which means needs, desires, wants or drives within the individuals. It is the process of stimulating people to actions to accomplish the goals. In the work goal context the psychological factors stimulating the people’s behaviour can be - # desire for money # success # recognition # job-satisfaction # team work, etc One of the most important functions of management is to create willingness amongst the employees to perform in the best of their abilities. Therefore the role of a leader is to arouse interest in performance of employees in their jobs. The process of motivation consists of three stages:- 1. A felt need or drive 2. A stimulus in which needs have to be aroused 3. When needs are satisfied, the satisfaction or accomplishment of goals. Therefore, we can say that motivation is a psychological phenomenon which means needs and wants of the individuals have to be tackled by framing an incentive plan.

1. 7 Steps To Break (or Make) A Habit
We all have habits, some good and some not so good. These are
behaviors that we’ve learned and that occur almost automatically.
And most of us have a habit we’d like to break, or one we’d like to
develop.
For most people, it takes about four weeks for a new behavior to
become routine, or habit. The following steps can make it easier to
establish a new behavior pattern.
1.The first step is to set your goal. Especially when you are trying to stop or
break a habit, you should try to phrase your goal as a positive statement. For
example, instead of saying “I will quit snacking at night”, say “I will practice
healthy eating habits”. You should also write down your goal. Committing it to
paper helps you to commit. It can also help if you tell your goal to someone you
trust.
2.Decide on a replacement behavior. (If your goal is to develop a new habit then
your replacement behavior will be the goal itself.) This step is very important
when you are trying to break a habit. If you want to stop a behavior, you must
have a superior behavior to put in it’ s place. If you don’t, the old behavior pattern
will return.
3.Learn and be aware of your triggers. Behavior patterns don’t exist
independently. Often, one habit is associated with another part of your regular
routine. For instance, in the snacking example the trigger may be late night
television or reading. You automatically grab a bag of chips while you watch.
Many people who smoke automatically light up after eating. Think about when
and why you do the thing you want to quit.
4.Post reminders to yourself. You can do this by leaving yourself notes in the
places where the behavior usually occurs. Or you can leave yourself a message
on the mirror, refrigerator, computer monitor or some other place where you will
see it regularly. You can also have a family member or co-worker use a particular
phrase to remind you of your goal.
5.Get help and support from someone. This is kind of obvious. Any job is easier
with help. It works even better if you can form a partnership with someone who
shares the same goal.

2. 6.Write daily affirmations. Write your phrase or sentence in the present tense (as
if it were already happening), and write it ten times a day for twenty-one days.
This process helps make your goal a part of your subconscious, which will not
only remind you to practice the new behavior, but it also keeps you focused and
motivated.
7.Reward yourself for making progress at set time intervals. Focus on your goal
one day at a time, but give yourself a small treat at one, three and six months. The
rewards don’t have to be big or expensive, and you should try to make it
something that’s associated in some way with the goal. Doing this provides you
with both incentive and extra motivation.
Following these steps is no guarantee of success of course. Depending on the
habit it may take several tries to finally make the change. But if you stick with it,
you can do it. Good Luck.

Yes, You Can!
If you are an entrepreneur, you know that your success cannot
depend on the opinions of others. Like the wind, opinions
change…like the weather, opinions change frequently. To succeed at
any endeavor, you must stay the course…no matter what the cost!
Here are some surefire tips to help you on your journey.
1.Avoid Negativity. Negative people are all around us. They can include our loved
ones as well as a dear friend. Most often, it is the opinions of total strangers that
breeds the most negativity as if someone who doesn’t know or understand you is
able to voice a reasonably thought out opinion about you.

4. No, you shouldn’t avoid those who are close to you, rather there are areas of
conversation that are less profitable. Accept criticism constructively, but steer
the conversation away from nonstop negative banter. Negativity will grow on you
unless you take control.
2.Build Yourself Up. No, I do not mean for you to puff yourself up with pride,
rather you can be your best source of encouragement by encouraging yourself.
How can you do this? Read the testimonies of other entrepreneurs/succeeders
who have gone before you. Current day success stories of people who have gone
from rags to riches [or from simple means to great influence] include
personalities like Oprah Winfrey, Martha Stewart, and Bill Gates. Yesterdays
success stories are numerous and include: Thomas Edison, Harry S. Truman, and
Abraham Lincoln.
3.Go Back to Square One. Should you find yourself wavering, recall those things
that encouraged you to take your step of faith in the first place. Recall what it
takes to succeed: discipline, self confidence, independence, hard work, sacrifice,
etc. Look forward to the anticipated results: a good income, independence, a job
you love, etc. Finally, remember the worst job you ever worked…imagine yourself
working there again. Blah! Use whatever it takes to motivate you.
So, toss off the negative thoughts and embrace that which is uplifting,
inspiring, encouraging, warm, friendly, and helpful. You are on track to
achieving great things as long as you do not let yourself become
derailed by the negative words of others.

The True Price of Success
Standing in the gale-force winds, the kid was looking queasy. We
could all see the storm was growing more intense.
The rain had already plastered his hair to his forehead and his new
black suit was starting to cling to him in ways Mr. Armani never
intended.

5. A typhoon was coming — the seventh this summer to hit Japan — and
the kid’s job, as newest employee, was to stand in front of a TV
camera while the weather buffeted him about for the nation to watch.
Sort of a talking weather vane.
I take my exercise along that stretch of beach every day, and today
one of the most powerful typhoons on record would soon be upon us.
I knew I couldn’t stay too long, or I’d be caught in the wind and the
torrential downpour. I’d make my walk extra-brief this day.
But the television crew had a different assignment.
They, and many other crews like them, are dispatched in satellite
equipped trucks to many well-known sites all over Japan. These
crews provide live reports on the progress of the storms as they rip
their way up the Japanese archipelago.
And the kid in the black suit was their sacrificial lamb today. It was his
job to get out there, once the storm reached its peak, and do a show
and tell. That’s what the people huddled at home want to see, and
sponsors will pay well to bring them exactly what they expect.
If you’ve watched a lot of news over the years, you’ll know that the
greater the devastation, the higher the viewer ratings. That’s the way
it works — more destruction means more interest.
In fact, you may recall that Dan Rather got his big break into national
news by doing exactly what this kid was doing — standing stubbornly
in a raging hurricane and giving moment-by-moment reports to the
viewers at home.
The networks find it’s profitable programming to report on all the
destruction, disruption and deaths.
But before we get off on an “Ain’t-It-Awful” tangent, let me say right
here that this scene I’ve just described carries one of the richest
lessons you’ll ever gain.

6. Typhoons and hurricanes cause huge disruptions. Your humanitarian
heart empathizes with those caught up in the tragedies; aches for
them; wants to reach out with succor and aid.
And I do applaud that urge to give comfort and help to those that life
dumps on. The feelings are normal and proper.
But I suggest that sympathy alone, no matter how heartfelt, is a
one-dimensional (even a poverty-ridden) way to respond to the world.
Sympathy can be a good thing, but often it’s only a cheap imitation of
caring. If it doesn’t lead to action, it’s basically worthless for anything
but show.
However, it’s possible to add a second layer of responses, a layer that
involves going out and interacting with that world you’re so empathic
with.
Furthermore, since you’ve been seeking some way to gain wealth, let
me say this. You’ve just found it.
It’s called action.
Action — appropriate action in response to the problems and
tragedies you see around you can make you not only a better person,
but a very rich one as well. It can allow you to provide far greater aid
to those in need than you could ever accomplish with an aching heart
alone.
And the profits from your actions will help you stay in business
long-term so you can continue helping your fellowman.
Now, you may already be running a business. If so, you’re providing
people with some kind of solution to their problems. Are you being
well paid for your solutions?
If so, that’s good.
But if you’re not being well rewarded for your efforts, there are only
three possible reasons.

7. 1.You’re not telling enough people about yourself.
2.You’re not very convincing because you don’t believe you’re very good at what
you do.
3.You may not be solving problems that are big or urgent enough. This is
probably the most common limit.
The biggest need today is for people who will do what you and I can’t
(or won’t) do for ourselves. This includes people who make us feel
better.
Consider the relative public value of a heart surgeon versus a sales
clerk. A captivating entertainer or sports figure versus an office
cleaner. A brilliant attorney versus a typist.
It’s not my intention to demean anybody who is fulfilling any useful
role in society. But the smaller paydays almost always go to the
person who is more easily replaced. If nearly anybody can be quickly
trained to do the job, there’s lots of competition for that slot, and so
the price goes down.
And the high-profile jobs like brain surgeon, trial lawyer, pro ball
player, or CEO of a multinational — well, most people won’t ever try
for those spots, meaning there’s less competition. So the people who
do try for these jobs can charge whatever the traffic will bear.
This is basic economics, right? We already know all of this. But if we
already know it, why do we so seldom apply it to our own life? Why
aren’t we qualifying ourselves for the absolute top spot in our
respective industries?
In many cases, it’s because we unthinkingly shy away from
“responsibility.” We’re scared of a bigger role… a higher profile. We
keep ourselves small because… well… we just do, that’s all. For
example, can you tell me exactly why you’re not the top authority in
your industry? Can I tell why I’m not?
We do know the answer to that, though, don’t we?

8. It’s basically cowardice. We’re scared spitless of making ourselves
uncomfortable through doing things that we’re not sure we can do
perfectly. If we tried something big and super-ambitious, oh my
goodness, what if we didn’t do it very well?
We don’t like to take chances. Don’t enjoy big measures of ambiguity
in the things we do. So instead, we plod along like cows coming in
from the pasture at evening, regular as clockwork, utterly predictable
— and dependant upon whomever feeds us at the end of the day.
Cows don’t take big chances. Neither do sheep. They stay close to
the same territory day after day, year after year, clustered together,
acting just alike, grazing placidly, never having any grand adventures.
There are few opportunities in the fenced-in pasture. Just eat and
sleep and grow old.
Ah, but the venturing soul slips through the fence, goes into unknown
territory, and seeks out new things to do. Among us humans, we
admire most the men and women who push past the barriers to new
territory. Record-setting athletes. Inventive new artists and writers.
Bold leaders who set new directions and escort the rest of us into
new fields. Explorers in medicine, literature, flight, business, sports.
People who go out seeking new places to find, new levels to achieve,
new problems to solve.
If you want your income and your life to expand, you’re going to have
to explore. Go out there past the edge of what you already know, past
the comfortable, to a place where you’re unsure what your outcome is
going to be.
You, in a very real sense, become a gambler. But you will be gambling
on the only thing in the universe that’s worth the action — yourself.
It has been said that the real reason for becoming rich and successful
is not the money or the fame. It’s the joy of being the person you have
to become in order to achieve those goals of yours.
Know this: You’ll never achieve those goals as you are now.

9. You really must become a whole different person. A bigger person. A
stronger, more capable person.
And how do you do that? You stretch yourself. You make yourself
uncomfortable, and you stay that way until you grow into it.
That’s the true (and only) price of success.

The small change that creates massive
results in your life
The small change that creates massive results in your life.
“It is never too late to become what you
might have been.” – GEORGE ELIOT
I believe that we all reach certain key points in our lives. We all reach
crossroads where our lives hit a certain threshold of “pain” that we
are no longer willing to settle for. This threshold is very different for
every person. I also believe that if you are unhappy with anything in
your life then that is a call to action; a desire from deep within the
“real” you that wants to experience more of life.
This can be very challenging for a lot of people as they have this urge
to improve their lives but they don’t have an effective strategy. They
then do the “logical” thing which is to work on the effects instead of
the cause. Here is a simple thought process that will be a wake up
call to you if you feel like you are spinning your wheels.
For my life to get better I have to get better.
For things to change I have to change.
I am mine. This is my life and I am the creator of my destiny.

10. I can change any and everything in my life by simply changing myself.
This puts me in the driving seat of my life and makes my life my
responsibility. It eliminates fear and apprehension for I know that no
matter what life gives me I can always get to the next level and take
the next step by simply making the internal shift in my own
psychology.
I can stop looking for events, people and circumstances to blame. I
only need to look inside. No matter how influential you are you cannot
control the circumstances and events of your life. There are only three
things over which you have absolute and total control and these are
all you need. It forms the total experience of life. My thoughts, my
actions and my words are always under my conscious control. They
are MY thoughts, they are MY actions and they are MY words AND
they create MY world every minute of every day.
This is incredibly liberating. Whenever I want to have more,
experience more or change anything, I need only look inwards and
work on myself. Jim Rohn once said that the hardest work you will
ever do is the work you do on yourself. See, you can run around and
work incredibly hard at trying to influence and change circumstances,
but that will only make you tired and discourage your future efforts. Its
much easier to change yourself and your perception of yourself and
your life. Nothing has any meaning except for the meaning you give it.
Changing external events have very little impact in your life on the
long term. Small changes in you; in your perceptions and psychology
might seem insignificant at first, but because the change is in you it
effects all of your thoughts, all of your actions and all of your words.
This seemingly insignificant change, over time changes the whole
direction and end destination of your life. If a captain of a ship
changes direction just one degree the end destination might be a
different continent all together. Like the captain changing his course
by one degree it might be unnoticeable over a short period of time,
but over greater distances the small change becomes very significant.

11. Most people try and change the big things; they constantly try and
change any and everything in their lives, but they then fail to maintain
the change. Instead, making small consistent changes in yourself, in
your own character you can create phenomenal results. All change
starts and ends with you. If you are going to invest the time and effort
to improve your life, then invest it in changing yourself. Invest your
time and effort in improving “you” and let go of the superficial urges
to control events and circumstances. Your whole perception and
experience of life comes from you and who you are. Change yourself,
improve your character and just watch the world improve and change
before your very eyes.
