Most of us are being motivated by the idea of proving ourselves. But is there anything wrong with it? How to be motivated properly?

I have learned that when this is the anchor of your motivation then this may also trigger anger, fear, and discontent. If this is the anchor of the motivation it simply means, it is associated with negativity.

When that time comes, your self will auto correct as it will move away from anger, fear, and discontent. But remember, as it is associated with your goal then for your self to auto correct, it will self-sabotage by moving away from your goal (e.g. money and health).

Most of the ideas here came from the book : Secrets of the Millionaire Mind

I just watch the interview by Tai Lopez with Gary Vee. Here are the big ideas that I have curated:

Awareness
Identify the difference between “we hope who we are” and “who we really are”. It is about identifying your strength and weaknesses. This practice will be of help to you if you will be authentic in truly knowing yourself and double down on your strengths.

Execution
The real talk is that it is not just about the idea. It is about those who take action. It is all about execution. There will be good ideas and maybe you have taught that there were billion dollar opportunity that you have taught of before but the reward goes to those who execute, who hire the time, who wrote the code and started making the idea a reality.

Our gadgets and softwares always have an update but when was the last time we had our update or renewed ourselves?

Here are the simple steps to renew ourselves to get the best version we wanted:

Be aware

It all starts with awareness by being open and honest to where and who we are right now. Approach this with authenticity.

Truly, what it is

Identify what you truly want. Practice the 7 deep why exercise. Examine what you wanted by following up with 7 whys. For example, “I want to have 10% body fat”. Ask “why”, let say your answer is “ I want to be fit”. Keep on asking at least a minimum of 7 whys. Again, approach this with authenticity so you can cancel the noise of external expectations. Is it the one you truly wanted or you were just pressured by the feeling that you might look bad for other people.

These should go hand and hand. First identify where you are right now so you can identify what you need to make the gap smaller until you reach your 2.0 version.

How to close the gap?

Have a habit that will bring you to the 2.0 version you wanted. In our example, if you want to lower the body fat percentage then have a habit of regular exercise.

Today is my 9th day of the personal daily challenge of creating content. Please join me in this journey by subscribing and receiving my free gift to you HERE.

I am on the 8th day of my 100 day challenge of creating content every day. One of the reasons that I started this challenge is to have stronger will power.

It is really hard to make our will stronger. When was the last time you said you will have a healthy diet? How many days did you stick to that healthy diet? How many times you said to yourself that you will start saving and will not spend impulsively? If you have made it, then congratulations. If not, here are the tips to make things happen even if your will is weak.

1. Make things automatic

I have automated my budgeting so that I don’t have to rely on my will to save money. I can also spend guiltlessly because the automated budgeting allowed me to have access to my disposable money.

2. Associate with the right people

We human beings tend to fit in. Our will is weaker than our association. So associate with people who is better than you.

PS: Our will is free, so use it wisely 🙂

I have a special gift for you, claim it HERE.

We learned that we should work hard but growing up our society is telling that working not too hard but getting more result is cool and awesome.

With that, these are two things that we should be aware of:

1. Working smart alone is not enough, you still need to work hard on smarter ways.
2. Working hard is not enough, you still need to look for smarter ways and work hard on it.

Okay, it looks like I am insane with these points but what we should have is the mindset of “why not both”. You don’t need to pick one.

Do not focus on the idea that you have inborn talents or gifts. You do not have to rely on talents alone. Keep hustling and working hard. Do not have a fixed mindset, always be open for learning.

Nowadays, there are observations that Millenials are getting entitled and on the other side, prior generations are not much open for recommendations. It can be more explained and be addressed in the book that I have read which I can recommend to you, the book Mindset: New Psychology of Success.

I am on my 7th day of creating daily content and it is getting harder and harder to commit. If so happen that you have taken something from this post, you may subscribe and be updated by clicking HERE.

Here are some of the steps you can use to sell, persuade and influence other people:

1. Start a conversation
   Ask an opening question. It may be direct or indirect to your main objective. You may ask about the traffic or the weather.
2. Interest
   Talk and ask questions about their interests. Show it genuinely by listening more than you talk. Always shut up after you ask questions or after sharing certain ideas.
3. Shift
   Transition to your main objective by asking questions that lead to that.
4. Pitch
   When you pitch, identify and highlight their problem or their interests. And follow it up with pivot questions. It is like a question making them realize something.
5. Open
   Open the door for the agreement. Let them feel that they are in control.

It is my 5/100 of my 100 daily content creation. If you found value, please subscribe and get your free gift HERE.

Always, there is someone better than you. Comparing yourself to other people is the game that no one has ever won. Let other people be your inspiration and not a competitor. If they can show you that they are better then it only shows you that sky is the limit. There is always room for improvement. If they can do it, you can do it as well. Just compete with the man in the mirror. Compete with yourself.

I believe in continuous learning. So learn every day so that you will be a better version of yesterday. At a certain age, we will stop growing physically so the only way to grow is to learn. It is not about getting the things that we want but it is about being the person who deserves the goals you are to achieve.

I am now on my 4th day of the 100-day challenge to create content. Truly, this challenge is a giver’s gain. It pushes me beyond my excuses to look for new wisdom and learnings so I can share something every day. The more I share, the more I learn and I am truly loving the process.

Most of the idea here came from the book: Secrets of the Millionaire Mind.
