Motivational Video – What’s your motivation?


what’s your motivation it’s important to
understand the motivation behind every
action that you take as an entrepreneur
because there’s going to be one or two
things one you’re doing it because you
really love to do it and it’s the right
thing to do and the other reason to is
because you think it’s going to help
your business and make some money and
sometimes I work together but a lot of
times they don’t and here’s the
challenge okay the challenge is giving
up on things that you think will make a
lot of money you think could work for
you but you don’t enjoy because if you
can’t give yourself fully to a task
fully to a project fully to an idea it’s
not going to work it can work for other
people but it’s not going to work for
you and that takes a lot of courage and
guts to give up on those projects that
you see working for everybody else but
it will not work for you let me give you
an example I look at my use of Twitter
and Twitter I love Twitter I love
Twitter’s a way to connect with people I
share my videos I share quotes I share
pictures I share what’s happened in my
life I love Twitter and I love
interacting with you guys and I came up
with an idea hey what if I made a
twitter list of all the media who are
covering entrepreneurship the big media
and I read their articles and I comment
on it and I I tweet on it and so I built
this list and and I started following
them and I started responding to them
and what they were posting and after a
few days I started to feel like a chore
it started to feel like a chore this
wasn’t something I enjoy doing and I
thought wow this this could be a great
idea you know my end goal was to be in
the medium or so I was hoping that if
somebody no saw my tweets enough and I
was leaving insightful comments they
would write to me and I would be an
expert on one of their columns and that
works that works for a lot of people the
problem is I didn’t enjoy doing it if
you’re the person who reads an article
and you look at it saying wow that is so
great I have to leave a comment on I
have to let everybody know about it or
you read an article and you’re like that
was terrible this is so wrong I need to
leave a comment and say why
then that’s a good strategy for you I’m
not that guy I don’t enjoy doing that
stuff so I had to kill the strategy even
though it works for other people this
isn’t an easy thing it’s a constant
daily struggle because we’re all trying
to think how do we grow our businesses
what can I do today to grow my business
today right I want to make some more
money I want to bring in you know more
people I want to have a greater impact
what can I do today to make that happen
and we look for easy solutions and we
look for things that work for other
people we look for shortcuts you know we
look for ways to make it happen right
now I get it you’re impatient right I’m
impatient too I want to hit my billing
entrepreneur goal as soon as possible
but the way that it’s going to happen is
by doing things that you love and you
can pour yourself into you can give
yourself fully to so one of the things
that I do on Twitter and on YouTube is I
respond to everybody right you leave a
comment on my video or you tweet me back
unless you’re spamming me or bothering
me I’m going to respond to you and that
takes time that takes time every day to
do and I could give that as a strategy
to say hey here’s what you need to do
you need to respond to everybody who
writes in the challenge is you may not
enjoy that you know I love you guys I
love the YouTube community I love my
Twitter community it’s honestly one of
the best parts of my day I wake up I eat
my lentils for breakfast and then look
at your comments and I just start
responding and it may not be an in-depth
comment i may just leave a happy face
whatever it is but i am responding to
people and i love doing that so i need
to keep doing it and i need to have
faith I need to believe that by doing
that it’s going to help my business grow
and it has it has grown I’ve got tons of
opportunities that have come from my
youtube channel and that’s because you
guys watch you guys share and you guys
leave comments so you have to look at
everything you’re doing with your
business every task that you’re doing
and you have to understand is this
something that needs to be done and if
it is is it you who needs to do it
because you can always automate it you
can delegate it you can eliminate it
helpful but you need to make sure that
your time is being spent on things that
you love doing things that you can pour
yourself into things that you can get
lost in things that you feel like you’re
in the flow things that you look at the
clock at nine in the morning and
suddenly at six at night and you don’t
know where the timeline because you’re
so invested in what you’re doing that’s
what you need to be spending your time
on not the things work you look at your
calendar of all the things you need to
do with like wow oh I hate everything on
my list if you’re that entrepreneur if
you hate everything that you have to do
today you’re not going to achieve
massive success with your business it’s
not going to happen because you’re doing
things that you hate how can you have
great success when you’re doing things
that you hate so look at your schedule
look at your tasks look at what you have
to do today this week this month and
really examine it are you doing these
things because it’s the right thing to
do because you love it because you’re
fully invested in it or are you doing it
because you think it’s going to help
grow your business but deep down inside
you really hate it take a hard look and
start making some changes believe those
