Did anyone ever notice how much more you get done when you know you are going on vacation in a few days? All of a sudden you are focused, catching up on work that has been laying idle, following up with clients, sending out paperwork that needs to be executed, cancelling the newspaper that you don't read, getting the car serviced etc...
It's like you can get 2 or 3 weeks of work done in one week when you KNOW that you won't be around to do it... and when you are MOTIVATED to get the hell out of there and jump on that plane!
Interesting how much we can get done when we are motivated - so why isn't it that we are reaching this potential every day? And how can we find the motivation to do it?
1. STOP WORKING FOR MONEY! If the effort you put into your work is directly related to a certain amount of money that you want to earn you will never push yourself further, when you make that amount you will stop working.
2. DO YOUR BEST EVERY DAY!! If you set big goals for yourself (like getting 3 weeks worth of work done in one even if you aren't going on holiday!) then you will continue to work hard and continue to see yourself grow as much as possible.
3. ENJOY WHAT YOU DO! Some people I know just love to make a deal happen, they love to negotiate and have the opportunity to just kick ass and show everyone what they're made of! They push themselves to just kick ass and the numbers don't matter.... usually in this case the numbers keep growing.
So few people actually live out their dreams and get to live an exceptional life because they settle. Settle for making a certain amount, settle for owning a certain kind of home in a certain kind of neighborhood. They settle for "pretty good" which is easily defined by a number... but being the best you can be is something that can never be measured and continuously promotes personal growth!! Get out there and KICK SOME ASS!
