Thursday as a Caution Flag

How do you view Thursday? Do you view it as just one day away from a 2 day escape or do you view it as a caution flag warning you that you only have a couple days left to accomplish your goals? I suggest that you take time every day to review your goals, so you should always be on track and moving forward even if it is just a slight improvement. If you use Thursday as a caution flag it helps you maintain your focus so that it doesn't lag in these later parts of the week.

Keep moving forward, just make sure you are focusing on your goals and not escaping. Your weekend will be much more enjoyable if you have that sense of accomplishment knowing you have a successful week behind you!

It is almost Friday...how are you doing on working toward your goals so far this week?

The Motivology Matters blog has been updated http://motivologymatters.com/motivology-blog/20-aspire-to-inspire

Aspire to Inspire

We often see stories of people that are just very inspirational. They have completed some great task against some great odds. When we see this we just might have one of two thoughts. First, we might think that if they can accomplish that with their challenges then I should be able to complete my menial task with my ability without any problem...I have nothing to complain about. Second, you might look at that individual and think that you want to have that ability to inspire others. You just might want to complete some great feat or tell some amazing story that will touch others and make them just want to be better.

What is your motivation?

There are all kinds of things that drive me. One of the places I go to look inside and focus on my motivation is a beautiful beach. The wind on your face and the lapping of the waves. It just helps me find inner peace.

Employee Motivation

do you struggle to keep your employees motivated? The problem with this is that your employees are already motivated. Every single one of your employees have their own motives for what they do and don't do. The key is to find what drives their motivation. What are their underlying goals and ambitions. Once you have discovered what they are passionate about, you can help them succeed in their current roles.
So, don't try to motivate your staff, try to engage them. Keep in mind you can't just show them a motivational video and expect them to immediately respond. Once your employees know you care about them and want to help them succeed, they will engage you as well and strive for success in everything that they do.
