BEING ETERNALLY MOTIVATED


It has been rightly said that the most difficult thing to teach somebody is the thing which that person already knows!!

In other words, THE ABILITY TO UNLEARN IS MORE DIFFICULT THAN THE ABILITY TO LEARN NEW THINGS.

 Now, let me come directly to the point I want to discuss with this post. Many times this happens with our well-trained associates that somehow, they start complaining about the shortage of guest-list, shortage of time; they start getting involved in non-productive work or something else which leads to the shift of their focus to things which should not be focusing at!! And thus as the law of attraction suggests, this reflects in their income and consequently your income, which is usually a dip.

 What happens now is that we start focusing on the way they are going about their presentations and follow-ups and start teaching them all the basic stuff all over again. This gets more annoying for the non-performing associate as he knows that he hasn’t forgotten what is being taught now (Although there can be cases where the basics have to be corrected, but let’s talk in general). What is on the lesser side??-- the enthusiasm with which the associate is promoting his business or product and it is the responsibility of the upline / mentor / sponsor of that fragile, immature associate to keep him motivated and enthusiastic.

Another point o consider now is that we should know that may be the same kind of motivation won’t work again for a particular associate as choices and interests change with time and exposure to the world. The success of a particular person in any field depends more on the excitement and enthusiasm than talent. The longer one is excited about any particular thing, person or way of living, closer he/she is to that thing, person or way of living. Thus we should find ways to keep ourselves motivated and energetic all the time for our work and people.

One very easy way to do this is to read good motivational books. Remember, a leader is a reader and thus we got to inculcate the habit of reading books regularly and we should encourage our associates to get into the habit of reading good books, articles or watching motivational tapes and movies. One such movie which I would love to tell all of you to watch is “THE PERSUIT OF HAPPYNESS” STARRING – WILL SMITH AND HIS SON JAYDEN SMITH!! WONDERFUL MOVIE. ALWAYS BRINGS SMILE TO MY FACE, EVEN NOW AS I TYPE THOSE WORDS.

One more habit which we must develop is that we should avoid company of those people who talk negative or may be if not negative, they aren’t even positive at all. These people are called the dream snatchers. And doing this is difficult as most of the times, they are your parents, family members and best of buddies. But one has to change the company to change the way he thinks and the way things occur in his life. ONE’S LIFE IS THE AVG OF THE 5 PEOPLE HE SPENDS MOST OF THE TIME WITH!!!

Another very interesting way is, which I follow, is to be happy all the time. When the mood gets off, go do something which you enjoy doing. Let it be talking to a friend, reading a book, watching movie, spending time with family… anything which makes you feel alive again. I play games. I shut my outside world and get into video games or some sports. Table-tennis, cricket, swimming being the most preferred ones. And when you are again feeling delighted, get back to business!! ANY DECISION TAKEN IN AN AWEFUL MOOD IS MOST OF THE TIMES AN AWFUL DECISION!! SO CHEER UP BEFORE DECIDING TO WORK OR DO ANYTHING FOR MAKING YOUR LIFE MORE BEAUTIFUL AND MEANINGFUL!!

THAT’S ALL FOR THIS TIME.
