7 Tips For Unstoppable Motivation And Enduring Success

by: Peter Murphy

1. Success is not achieved accidentally. It is a systematic, deliberate process of deciding what you want to do with your life, what you will do when you get there, and what the steps are to get you where you want to be.

One of the most important aspects of success is the ability to visualize your path and stay focused on your goal until you reach it.

2. The sooner you envision your dreams and develop a plan to turn them into reality, the faster you will accomplish your goals. Mental pictures are a mechanism to lead you down the path of true independence and motivation.

Procrastination is a self-defeating behavior that develops in part due to low self-esteem and fear of failure. Your imagination is like a preview of your future.

If you don't use your imagination your life will remain mundane and unfulfilling.

3. Overcoming procrastination is the first step in helping you create the lifestyle you desire. You must change the habits and behaviors that led you to procrastinate in the first place.

Change is a slow process so be sure to reward yourself along the way for small achievements.

Instead of focusing on the difficulty of a large task, break it into smaller jobs and create a timeline for finishing them.

4. Several small jobs done over time are much more manageable that one large task with no end in sight.

You'll be astonished at how much you can get done if you concentrate on one thing at a time instead of cluttering your mind with multiple tasks.

Try tackling the more undesirable tasks early in the day so that by afternoon you can pursue more pleasant activities.

5. Relieve yourself of the pressure created by clutter in your office or home. Develop a filing system, rid yourself of unnecessary papers, and give yourself an organized place to work.

When you exercise self-discipline in your surroundings as well as your behaviors, you will make major strides in accomplishing your goals in a shorter period of time.

No matter what is happening around you, keep your mind focused on the reward you'll receive by reaching your goals.

6. If people or outside forces distract you, use the power of the human mind to block out what impedes your progress and concentrate solely on the task at hand.

You will make remarkable progress by refusing to let others alter the path you have chosen.

Overcoming procrastination and staying motivated is the way to lifetime success and happiness. You'll achieve your goals rapidly when you stay focused on your destination and the rewards that will follow.

7. Review your habits and way of thinking to determine what you are visualizing most of the time. If your visions do not lead you in the direction of accomplishing your goals, then you must change them.

Discipline yourself to concentrate on your goals the majority of the time, and if you stray from the path, get promptly back on.

Imagine what the rewards will be when you finally reach your destination and keep that thought foremost in your mind.

Procrastination is of no use to you in your quest to fulfill your dreams. Lose those old habits and replace them with habits that lead to self-motivation and control over your life.

The Secret to Self-Motivation:Tips for Online Entrepreneurs & Network Marketers

by: Jamie Jefferson

If you are a home business owner, you know the importance of staying motivated. And you also know that, some days, it's more difficult than others.

But success is based on consistent and persistent effort, so staying inspired and enthusiastic is an essential key to success.

Here are four important tips for keeping motivation high:

1. Write out your "why" and read it often.

I like to call this my "Vision Statement." The Laptop Lifestyle really is so rewarding. I often wonder how anyone can be entirely satisfied without it. To have a completely mobile and flexible business offers a pretty amazing quality of life. Get excited about this every single day.

Imagine what changes in your life will result from this level of success. You can be home with your children, never miss another ball game, and do exactly what you like, when you like.

Really feel the "fire in your belly" and the excitement for the financial opportunities and the amazing lifestyle that is before you.

Write out all the reasons why you are working to build your own business from home. Then post your vision statement where you can see it and re-read it at least daily.

2. Use the science of success to keep you motivated.

Find a personal growth learning system that works well for you, whether it's seminars, books, CDs, or online training. Success University, for example, has monthly achievement courses, which break down important training courses into 10 to 15 minute increments each day, ( http://save.successuniversity.com ) as well as streaming audio and video courses so that you can take a break from your work and get re-inspired at the same time.

These SU breaks have been instrumental to my success. Specific training on success principles, goal-setting, and marketing/promotion can keep you working at an efficient and productive pace.

3. Re-pattern your self-talk.

A huge factor of my success has been my imagining that I've already achieved the goal ahead of time. Spend time visualizing your success, including how it will feel, and remind yourself that you deserve the time and freedom that you are working toward. Act like you already have it, and you soon will.

Remember to write your affirmations and your vision statement in the present tense (not the future tense). You are responsible for telling your subconscious mind what it should believe. Tell yourself you make a lot of money and help a lot of people achieve their goals, and it will begin to become a reality for you. It might sound very airy-fairy, but it really does work.

4. Take some time off.

This is a really hard one for me because I so love what I do. But I also know that taking short breaks throughout the day and even a day off every now and then is crucial. I always come back to my computer with renewed vigor and tons more ideas.

It's no accident that many great ideas are born in the shower -- because this is a place where we have stepped away from our thoughts and begin to relax a bit. When we take a break, we see our ideas from a broader perspective and we can make sure that the direction we're speeding off in is the right one. And that can save lots of time in the long run.

Here's to your success!
