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 tapes or read books or attend seminars. They don't have time to read, and the tapes "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 tape may contain a kernel of truth, a bit of wisdom, or it may motivate you to do your work better or differently or with more integrity than "that other guy." 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. Sometimes we are motivated by fear, 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 tapes, learning new skills or attending rallies, do whatever it takes. Your success tomorrow depends on your level of motivation, commitment and determination today.
