How to Define Motivation & Get "It"
The Wake Up Eager Way:
Five Focus Areas

Define motivation and get the keys to "it" here.

We cannot control what others do, no matter how hard we try. (Darn it!)

I've learned, and perhaps you have too, that when we try to control and assert our will over another, eventually it does back-fire on us and tension ensues.

But, if you put most of your attention on what you can control, by managing your own actions and mindset, you begin to positively influence others.

From that vantage point you become someone people are willing to follow...

To motivate: To provide with an incentive; to move to action; impel.

To that end I've created resources to help you (they help me every day) define motivation and get more of it. The 22 Wake Up Eager Secrets Quiz is a great first step to assess and define motivation for yourself.

3. Managing My Spirit & Well-Being
4. Managing My Career
5. Managing My Team

Managing My Mind

This is a focus on your internal drive to excel and ability to focus. This is also a measure of the strength and clarity you currently have about your future.

Creating your own picture of a positive future is crucial to help you create and define motivation for yourself and others.

"Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look and see their beauty, believe in them and try to follow them."---Louisa May Alcott

Helping you define motivation with a focus on the perspective, thought-process and beliefs that I've found helpful toward developing a Wake Up Eager Mindset.

"Accept well-being as a given. How would you ever pay for sunshine?" ---Abraham-Hicks

Managing My Body

This is focus on your level of physical well-being and confidence. This includes a focus on eating well, being fit, getting enough sleep and feeling confident and comfortable in your body. If you are droopy and with low-energy, your team will be too.

"The perfect man of old looked after himself before looking after others."---Chuang Tzu

Managing My Spirit & Well-Being

A focus on your spirit & well-being by building life balance and by creating a network of people who believe in you and care about you, both personally and professionally.

When you are supported, it is easier to support and serve others. You cannot give what you do not have.

"Invent your world. Surround yourself with people, color, sounds and work that nourish you" ---SARK

Managing My Career

A focus on how well you know, understand and put-to-use your strengths and communication skills in your career.

This area includes your ability to address and positively manage specific areas of development and around how to build a career you love.

"Hide not your talents, they for were made. What's a sundial in the shade?" ---Ben Franklin

Managing My Team

A key part of defining motivation for yourself and others is feeling confident in your leadership skill and ability. This is a focus on the time and energy you're currently putting into building your ability to effectively lead and the development of your expertise.

The stronger and more effective you are, the stronger and more effective your team will be.

"A winner is someone who recognizes God-given talents, works his tail off to develop them into skills, and uses these skills to accomplish his goals." ---Larry Bird

"Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success." ---Henry Ford
