7 Simple Ideas to Help You Stay Motivated – No Matter What!

This past Tuesday, December 13^th, was the seventh and final session in the Smart Ass Success Teleseminar Series. I had a great interview with Russell White, and he shared some terrific information on staying motivated, even after your initial excitement wears off…

Below I have posted a 4 minute clip from the interview, as well as 7 simple ideas I got from talking with Russell about motivation, drive, and staying focused and on track. (There were many more…).

Here are seven simple but powerful ideas you can use to  stay motivated all the way, no matter what!

1. Stop looking for life balance. Instead, find ways of blending different elements of your life together. The crossover will enrich every area of your life and increase your motivation.

2. Motivation comes not from achieving some objective level of success, but rather from knowing that you are taking the actions you need to reach your own potential.

3. Failure can be a great chance to redirect your energy. Did you fail because you just weren’t very motivated or driven? If so, maybe you need to redirect your energy elsewhere.

4. The best external motivation combines accountability, support, and the recognition of a job well done.

5. Are you finding yourself more distracted more often from the direction you want to go? If so, “your drive may be stuck in park.” If you are frequently distracted, it may be time to revisit why you have lost your drive and motivation.

6. To maximize your motivation, you need to surround yourself with people who will be supportive and positive. Be wary of negative people who sap your drive. Spend less time with them, and involve them less in your plans and goals.

7. When you find yourself in an “un-motivated funk,” and you don’t know what to do, try stuff! You can’t “think” your way out of it. Try new things, and then make note of what works to get you going. Make a list of those for future use.

Thanks for reading (and listening)!
