Motivation can be equated to energy or power and when it comes to earning, achieving, or growing its a big deal. Moving forward in areas like business, relationships, and self actualization will always be fueled by the power of motivation.
With this blog I always like to bring the focus back to the home based business
arena. So what is motivation in the context of
home business success and profitability? It may be much more simple than you think.
Socrates, I believe it was, taught that all motivation and motives for that matter, came back to either one of two foundational energy sources. Those sources are: The movement toward pleasure. And the: Movement away from pain.
Lets take the first. When we can visualize on a
consistent basis of exactly what it is that we want. The way our life would be. How we feel, how we interact in our relationships, what kind of car we drive, the house we live in, the freedoms we enjoy, and the fulfillment we experience. If we do this
consistently, at least daily, we will find our old life begins to fade and the life we have given so much thought to start to take shape by the actions we have been motivated to take.
An interesting thing happens too, as we get closer and closer to that life by design it begins to motivate us more and more. We can see it now, and feel it. Its becoming more and more real every day. We get excited and we begin to add things here and there, we make adjustments and discoveries. Our daily living at this point actually becomes our motivation. Maybe this is the definition of self actualization, not sure.
Back to the second motivating idea. The moving away from or escaping pain.
Ok, so our life sucks. We hate this part and that part. This has to go. I never want to see that person again, this job sucks, I will go online and find one that does not suck as bad. Yuk! Huh?
Well the real problem with this kind of motivation is that while it can move us away from things in another direction it isn't focused and we will likely end up someplace else that is just as bad. After all we had no idea where we were going we just knew we didn't want to be where we were.
Get this though. The further away from pain we get. Whether that pain is being broke, being
under appreciated, not having any time with our kids, or feeling of accomplishment in life, we still aren't closer to something that will attract us an anchor our good feelings of well being.
The further we get from the pain
the less motivated we are. Eventually if we push hard enough we won't be motivated at all and that old
painful life and crappy circumstances will reappear. Hence the cycles of crap that many people seem to experience in life.
So in summary. Know what you want, think about it often, and stay connected with people who do the same. Get a coach. Changing this energy source for motivation is tough. It sounds neat and clean, maybe even easy, but its not.
