Motivation Articles, Success Tips and Advice to Live Big

The Unique You By Matthew Horne

“There’s nothing wrong with admiration of others and vicarious living, but your highest level of fulfillment is in being in tune with your unique self. Be you.” – Matthew C. Horne

I recently was approached by a prospective author who wanted me to review some of their self-development book outlines. I promised this person I would take an objective look at their materials and get back to them. From the book titles to the body of each outline, the works were reminiscent of author’s past with no true original touch. When giving feedback to the prospective author I pointed this out and let them know their best bet was to scratch each outline and start over from a place of originality. Also, I let the prospective author know that the world is not looking for another book with recycled information, rather original captivating material to help them delve into realms which were once unreachable.

Motivation

“Genius is one per cent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration.” – Thomas Edison

What’s your idea of making it BIG? Do you hold some picture of how Donald Trump is portrayed in the media: living in a fabulous penthouse, washing down caviar with champagne before surf and turf, golfing/schmoozing/partying with the rich and famous every day, even having your own TV show? That’s what it’s all about … or so you think.

Combining Motivation and Education to Achieve Success

Motivation

The Power of Motivation

We’ve all heard that speaker who gets us motivated towards accomplishing those things which have eluded us in life. After hearing empowering messages, we say things like “I’m really going to do it this time.” Or “Nothing will stand in my way!” In our minds we arrive at the track and our shoes are laced up tight as we approach the starting line of our new endeavor, only to find that very few people make it to the starting point because after the excitement fades we forget our reasoning for being on the track.

10 Little Words That Have Kept Me On Track The Last 36 Years By Gregg Gregory

Motivation

It was September, 1973, and I was a junior attending High Point High School in the metropolitan area of Washington, DC. From 1954-1994, my high school only had two principals. Frank Tracy had just taken over in the fall of 1973, and he wanted to leave his mark early on. It was a hot September afternoon when he held his first assembly in the gym.

My graduating class had 751 students, and the classes before us and after us had about the same. This meant the assembly had over 2,300 people including teachers, administrators and staff packed tightly into the muggy gymnasium.

Get Used to Uncertainty By Marcia Wieder

Motivation

How to Embrace Uncertainty and Create New Dreams

Can you imagine actually being comfortable with the unknown and uncertainty? Uncertainty provides an opportunity to stop, check in and make powerful choices to clear away what’s no longer true, so you have more time and space for new dreams that are aligned with who you are now.

As we become comfortable with uncertainty we can have more clarity about how we want our life to be. This is exceptionally useful since the truth of life is, it’s more uncertain than certain.

Lighting the Way by Jim Stovall

Motivation

* Tips for finding, and creating a winning experience with a mentor.

We can learn concepts from reading or listening, but most of us really learn how to do things from observing others and then repeating their actions.Â People whom we observe and emulate are often called mentors.

In ancient Italy, the streets were very narrow and winding. There were many canals and unexpected waterways. This created a beautiful cityscape during daylight but a treacherous obstacle course in the dark of night.

The “Trust You Factor” By Bob Burg

Motivation

Anyone who’s read my book, Endless Referrals or attended my live program knows my basic premise of sales success and that is, “All things being equal, people will do business with, and refer business to, those people they know, like and trust.” This is also true when in the Winning Without Intimidation process of trying to persuade a difficult person to your point of view.

Let’s focus our discussion today, not on “know” or “like” but on trust.

Presentation Skills – Dial In The Tone by Tony Jeary

Motivation

One of the primary tenets of any successful presentation (a presentation is defined as any time you talk to one or more people) design is the establishment of “tone.”

When it comes to presentations, the term tone refers to much more than merely an individual’s “tone of voice.” The tone of a presentation is really about audience perception.

The simple truth is that your success or failure at anything — whether ordering a hamburger in a restaurant or speaking to a 5,000 person assembly — is largely contingent upon how you are received by the person or persons you are speaking to.

Make Someone Else’s Dream Happen By Marcia Wieder

Motivation

Just because the economy is in a nose dive and life may feel out of control, that’s no reason to feel helpless.

You can make a huge contribution today by making someone else’s dream come true.

Who should be the lucky recipient of your gift? Choose someone who you are grateful for, or the one who needs it the most, or even the person you can most easily help.

I chose my dad. At 80 years old, it’s been painful to watch my young hearted father fight a battle with his aging body. He had been an avid golfer (â€œ5â€ handicap) and fisherman but a few years ago his back began to hurt and he abandoned both of his favorite activities.

Abstain From Judging by Dr. Tony Alessandra

Motivation

As someone once advised, “Grow antennae, not horns.” If you prejudge someone as shallow or crazy or ill-informed, you automatically cease paying attention to what they say.

So a basic rule of listening is to judge only after you’ve heard and evaluated what they say. Don’t jump to conclusions based on how they look, or what you’ve heard about them, or whether they’re nervous.

In fact, maybe a good exercise would be to go out of your way to listen to a difficult speaker. Maybe he talks with a thick accent. Or talks much more rapidly, or more slowly, than you, or uses a lot of big words.
