If you’ve read “Seven Habits of Highly Effective People,” you’ve probably guessed why I’ve been posting “motivational” videos every Sunday, like “Believe in Yourself” and “Elements of Greatness.” I believe that motivation is the foundation of success in just about any endeavor, but especially in sales.
If you’re going to be consistently motivated to succeed, I think it helps to understand the broader issue of motivation. For example, the entire mainspring of my personal motivation changed when I had children and I consequently think about work very differently than I did three years ago.
I thought it might be valuable to take a deeper look into how motivation works, so here’s Michael Norton, the founder of CanDoGo, explaining about the nature of motivation and how it needs to come out of a balanced life.
If you want some specific hints on how to stay motivated, you might want to check out one my most popular posts, Ten Ways to Get Insanely Motivated.
Full Disclosure: I write articles for the producer of this video, SellingPower magazine, which also has a distribution agreement with BNET for video content.
