Motivation + Direction + Inspiration = Success

I don’t feel motivated anymore to go to work!

I am not sure what I am doing and what I need to do!

I don’t feel inspired anymore!

Does any of this sound familiar to you?

I want to be honest with you. I have faced all these questions at different points in my career. Through proper guidance from my mentors I have figured some ideas which can help us to be Motivated to work; have direction to make better decisions and feel inspired to achieved more.

Motivation:

When you find yourself in a place where you are not sure about your personal motivation, I strongly suggest you to look at your personal goals.

A good question is “Do I have personal goals?” If the answer is YES then may be they have become old and they are not motivating for you to look at them. If the answer is I don’t have anymore personal goals then I strongly believe NOW is the right time to set some personal goals which will give more full on motivation.

In June this year, we have Hari Raya which is one of the biggest festival in Malaysia and December Christmas is round the corner. I was always motivated to give money to my parents and to buy presents for my siblings during festival time. That motivated me to work hard and achieve my sales target. If your personal goals are bigger than your personal challanges then there is nothing that is out there to demotivate you.

Direction:

I sometime struggled in making right decisions and I noticated that No.1 reason why some people struggle in making decision is lack of direction moving forward. A good solution for lack of direction is to set Business goals. I remember setting a goal as an Assistant Owner to become Owner partner and the gave a clear direction. That direction in turn guided me to make right decisions keeping my business goal in mind.

Inspiration:

This is a very personal thing. Like many I was always confused between Inspiration and Motivation. One day I called our Vice President James and asked him this question. He said Motivation is having personal goals and going after them. Inspiration is looking at hardworking people achieving their goals. If you want to feel inspired then hang out with inspiring people who are achieving their goals.

If you can motivate yourself through your personal goals, have direction by setting business goals ( booth short term & long term ) and can surround yourself with inspiring people then there is nothing out there that can stop you from becoming successful.
