Inspiration and Motivation



Motivation is the incentive for doing something; a willingness of action especially in behavior; a reason for doing something. Inspiration is the act of breathing in; stimulating influence upon the intellect or emotions.

Many people look to a coach or consultant as a person who can motivate them to do the things they need to do to create their success. Your coach is actually a key to inspiration.

Only you know what motivates you to get up in the morning, hit the floor running and accomplish the tasks necessary to create your dreams and achieve your goals. You and you alone can determine what your motivators are. Some powerful motivators are:

· Making money

· Saving money

· Saving time

· Avoiding effort

· Becoming healthy

· Gaining praise

· Becoming popular

These motivators are found in the fabric of your vision, they are a critical part of your goal system, and must be focused on in the development of your action plan, where you will outline and commit to the tasks required to achieve the end result.

So let’s get started with a little inspiration to motivate yourself to unlimited success. Ask yourself the following questions?

· Have I written my own vision statement?

· Do I have a written plan of action that includes goals, tasks and resource requirements?

· Do I have a tracking system in place to continually assess where I am on my journey?

· How will I deal with setbacks?

· Who am I accountable to?

· How will I celebrate my successes?

· Where do I go for continuous inspiration?

A coach can inspire you to be all you can be. Your coach stands for you. Your coach breathes belief into you until you can breathe on your own. Let this be your best time ever. Understand the difference between Inspiration and Motivation. Look within yourself for your motivators and look for inspirational support. You can do it!!

Re: How To Stay Motivated In Your Business - Motivation spurs people into actions every time. When there is no motivation the reason to move forward seems lost. Thanks so much for this post Evan
Describe Your Inspiration/Motivation - I'd like to open up discussion with the group to identify how us entrepreneurs keep you goals insight without loosing Inspiration for what got you going initially. Being an Entrepreneur can be a lonely road at times and I'd like to dig up and have people describe the fire they hold inside. I'm hoping that through this exercise I can acknowledge and become aware of my fire that I'm having trouble verbalizing.
Re: What inspires you? - Inspiration is nothing it is what you called to do? Some work for money, some work for satisfaction, some work because they have priorities in life. It is the passion to do something for achievement or to show that you can do it by using one's talent. I know there are people who are doing great things with their limited skill sets. So, my view point about inspiration is to Dream Big and try to achieve it. I would rather add "Listen to your self". Listen to Inner guide and follow it. You will reach great heights. Robert

Re: Finding AND Keeping Good People - Employee retention or as you mention “Keeping the Good People” is one of the biggest challenges for any growing business. It takes a huge effort from the entrepreneur’s end. I can come up with the following when it comes to KEEPing the good people- 1. Motivation of the employees 2. Recognition of the needs of the employees 3. Activities to make the employees feel valuable towards the organization 4. Make benefits more accessible 5. Offer profit sharing incentives 6. Create clear career paths at the company 7. Consider telecommuting, job sharing and other flexible working arrangements 8. Incentives are essential and they don't have to be huge 9. Have other managers praise an employee's work 10. Be sensitive to the balance between work and private life
