what motivates you

MONEY

is money the prime motivator for you to sell, work, career? money can be one of the motivators but can not be the all end of your ambitions and objectives. Do you look at the money you make as a reflection of the hard work, excellent service and high standards you develop. do you look at improving your self and your product or service or knowledge or skills when you notice a decline in income, revenue instead of wasting time being depressed, criticising, moaning and blaming others.

SECURITY

you are only as secure as your ability to handle insecurity.

security is really a false motivator- because there are no gurantees in life, in sales and business. so when it comes right down to it there is no security. you are only as secure as your ability to handle insecurity and doubts and fears.

most famous and successful people who have acquired a great deal of security or money have lost as much than they have made. what sets these people apart is that they are willing to take the chance in order to become all that they could be, whereas the average worker is not ready to take any risks.

be willing to give up what you have for what you can attain. be a risk taker. you will learn how to handle security if you are constantly taking risks. your success and security are determined by your ability to overcome the setbacks that your career hands you. and you have many opportunities and chances to test this.

the key to getting what you want may be the ability to give up what you have. if you cant give up what you have, then keep it, but resign yourself to the knowledge that you will never go much farther up the ladder of success.

YOU ARE ONLY AS SECURE AS YOUR ABILITY TO HANDLE INSECURITY.


ACHIEVEMENT

Achievement can be measured monetarily or by the influence and power you have by humanitarian and other efforts. It means different things to differnet people and is usually a great motivator.

RECOGNITION

the need for recognition usually begins in childhood. whether the recogntion is negative or positive, the results are similar. recognition is a tricky business- but it is still a motivator!

ACCEPTANCE FROM OTHERS

The day you rise above the masses as a top producer is the same day that others stop trying to climb up to your level. so what they try to do instead? they try to pull you down. the old saying " its lonely at the top" is true.

relying on acceptance from others as motivation can be dangerous thing.

when was the last time you heard people say or do things to a person down who is already down in the dumps? it just does not happen in that way.

try to sorround yourself with positive people who support you in your efforts toward successful career. keep company with people who have similar goals and desires as yours. get acceptance of people whom you know are good for you- and try to get the dismissal of the people who are not.

how many people in your lifetime have you accepted advice from who are more messed up than you? stay away from the negative people: they only pull your opportunities down the tubes with them.


SELF ACCEPTANCE

when you accept yourself and you are happy with the person you are, you experience a freedom you never thought possible. you are free to do things your own way or not to do them at all. you are free to enjoy life and all it has to offer. you are free of the damaging effects of rejection and failure.

-you can not be recognised if you have not achieved nothing.
-in order to do things you want to achieve you need to feel secure or have the ability and feeling of security and handle insecurity.
-to earn money you must give service.

WHEN YOU TRULY ACCEPT YOURSELF WELL, YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO AND NOT WHAT YOU THINK YOU SHOULD DO.

LIFE IS MUCH SWEETER WHEN YOU ACCEPT YOURSELF- AND WONDERFUL THINGS AND PEOPLE SEEM TO GRAVITATE TOWARDS YOU.


all motivators, factors, people are inter-related. the next time you are tempted to do something you instinctively know is not the best thing for you to do, you are not alone in this universe and the ripple effect is alive.

TO ACHIEVE THINGS THAT YOU WANT TO DO, YOU FIRST NEED TO FEEL SECURE AND DEAL WITH INSECURITIES, DOUBTS AND FEAR.
