Self Motivation

collected by BANDI BHANU PRAKASH
For Managers and EmployeesSelf Motivation: "No passion, no
self-motivation."
The key to successful self-motivation is in
hiring the right type of inner-coach.
In order to help you hire the right type of
inner-coach; there are five inner-coach
qualities your should look for prior to hiring.
If you hire an inner-coach who does not have
these five qualities, you are only likely to
destroy any self-motivation you presently
have.
An inner-coach needs to incorporate the
following qualities.
1.) Hire an inner-coach who can help you
define your goals. If you do not know what
you want, you will not have any achievement
or success in your life. Also, look for an
inner-coach who is interested in helping you
define your goals and not the goals of your
parents, society, or any other person.
2.) Hire an inner-coach who can break down
your goal(s) into small components. If your
goal is to start your own business, you will
first need to set a number of smaller goals
until your main goal is achieved. The general
rule of thumb to follow is not to set any small
goal that cannot be achieved within two
weeks.
Here is a good interview question to ask a
candidate you are considering hiring as your
inner-coach. "Is it a good idea to set small
goals that take a month or longer to
complete?" A good inner-coach will tell you
that if your small goal takes over a month to
complete, it is not a small goal and it
therefore needs to be broke down into
smaller components.
3.) Hire an inner-coach who can help you
remove the following words from your
vocabulary: "should," "ought," "must," and
"guilt." Why these words? If the goal you set
is something you really want to achieve, you
will not need to tell yourself you "should,"
"ought," or "must" do it. People who have
achieved self-motivation achieve their goals
because they have passion. Passion is the
"emotional-gas" you have to help you achieve
all your smaller goals and eventually your
main goal(s). No passion, no self-motivation.
A good inner-coach also helps you to
remove the word "guilt" from your
vocabulary. Why should you not feel guilty
about achieving your passion? Because your
passion is your life. Achieving your true
passion is on the same level as breathing, and
you don't feel guilt about using up oxygen do
you?
If you think that if you follow your passion
you will take too much time away from your
family, it is time to prioritize your priorities.
Let go of less important priorities so you can
spend more time with your family at the same
time you achieve your goal(s).
4.) Hire an inner-coach who can help you not
listen to the "nay-sayers," but encourages
you to seek out the advice and wisdom form
people who have achieved the goal(s) you are
interested in achieving.
5.) Hire an inner coach who does not criticize
effort, blame you for failures, or who
encourages you to give up when the going
gets tuff. A good inner-coach will help you to
turn failures into learning experiences.
Remember that failure is a perquisite before
true success can be achieved.
Are you interested in hiring an inner-coach?
Where can you find a qualified inner-coach to
interview and possibly hire? Is there a
certification board or inner-coach school that
you can call to obtain a list? No, there is no
inner-coach university.
The best inner-coach to hire is YOU! You
are the best inner-coach you can hire because
who else knows your dream goals better than
you do. Unfortunately, we all have a number
of types of inner-coaches within us, and not
all are there to help meeting our dream
goal(s). Therefore, you will need to only
listen to the advice of the inner-coach who
can meet the five qualities that I have
outlined, and fire any inner-coach who can't
cut-it.
