PPI #125: How To Stay Motivated

This episode will teach you three secrets to keep your motivation where it needs to be so that you can realize your full potential in work and life.

KEY POINTS

Flip The Script! - Focus on starting rather than finishing. If you just focus on starting, the finishing will take care of itself.

Act like a Professional - A professional knows that action generates feeling whereas an amateur believes feeling generates action.

Clearly Define the Value - Ask yourself, “What benefit does this goal have for me, what benefit does it have for others?” Clarity promotes motivation.

Use Evidence - Reference a similar challenge you or someone else faced as evidence that you can complete what you started.

Minimize impulsivity - Reduce your likelihood of being distracted. Remove the environment that distracts you, e.g. your phone or devices.

Minimize Delay - Break down your goal small enough so that you taste success sooner and stay motivated. If it's too far off in the distance, you are less likely to stay motivated in the long term.

Create Accountability - Not only with yourself but also with the help of others. Break down your goal into something that you can do daily and something you can track. Put it up on a wall and put an X in every single day that you do the activity that you are trying to stay motivated towards
