MOTIVATION EVERY DAY

There's a wonderful quote from Zig Ziglar that "People
often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does
bathing. That's why we recommend it daily." 
I am frequently amazed at the number of business people I
meet who will not listen to audio programs or read books or
attend seminars. They don't have time to read, and
recordings "don't work." They "can't afford" the seminars,
and they "don't need" the education. And then they wonder
why their careers seem to reach a plateau!
Even a badly done recording may contain a kernel of truth,
a bit of wisdom, or could motivate you to do your work
better or differently or with more a bit more integrity.
Motivation comes in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes we are
motivated by needing to pay the bills, at other times we
are motivated by an inspirational seminar or the enthusiasm
of a speaker.
Sometimes we are motivated by a desire to do better for our
families or by fear of failure. But we are almost always
motivated when we are around exciting people with great
ideas, lots of energy and a clear vision of where they are
going. Motivation works! 
As a business leader, there are important reasons to keep
yourself focused, enthused, energized and eager, and you
owe it to the people who look to you for leadership.
Whether you stay motivated by re-writing your goals every
day, or by listening to audio programs, learning new skills
or attending rallies, do whatever it takes. Your success
tomorrow depends on your level of motivation, commitment
and determination today.
