Whether you think you can or think you can't, either way you right.
Henry Ford
I’ve studied some of the best coaches before starting my journey. I wanted to start my own businesses, and to share my knowledge about motivational psychology and training with other young entrepreneurs, musicians and artists. It was not as easy as I would thought it would be.
Launching a new idea or a business is not easy. You have to give up the comforts of your couch and learn a lot of new skills. Not to mention the pain and sacrifice of not able to spend time with friends and family. Also, to dive into the unknown, an unpredictable abyss. A lot of things keep us from making the leap—things like fear and insecurity. And one thing above all the rest: motivation.
So, here are my best tips for achieving anything you want in life.
Focus on commitment
Ask yourself, just how committed are you to your goal? How important is it for you, and what are you willing to sacrifice in order to achieve it?
Seek knowledge
The key is to focus on the journey not the destination. Keep thinking about what you are learning along the way and what you can improve.
Get rid of negative thoughts
Thoughts influence feelings and feelings determine how you view your work.
Get rid of distractions
Meaningless things and distractions will always be in your way. Learn to focus on what is the most important. Write a list of time-wasters and hold yourself accountable.
Plan
Fill out your weekly calendar, noting when you will do what and how. When-what-how is important to schedule.
Don’t burnout
Recognize any signs of tiredness and take time to rest. Meditate, or just take deep breaths, close your eyes, or focus on one thing for five minutes.
Make the journey fun
It is easy to easy to get stuck, lose motivation or get over whelmed. Keep the end goal in mind, feel the emotions of achievement now and when you accomplish your goal. Keep in mind that it’s an awesome game and enjoy the journey.
