Motivation Pictures:
The Ways You See Yourself In Your Business.

What are your motivation pictures?

How do you see yourself and why do you want to build a new business? What are your examples of intrinsic motivation that inspire you to do what you do? Why should you want to have a positive impression of yourself and your future with the help of motivation pictures?

"If we take control of our own communication with ourselves and produce visual,auditory, and kinesthetic signals of what we do want, outstanding positive results can be consistently produced, even in situations where the odds for success seem limited or nonexistent"
Tony Robbins, "Unlimited Power", page 47

"It's time for you to remember your dreams--your dreams of both who you want to be and what you really want to do with your life"
David Bach, "The Finish Rich Workbook Creating a Personalized Plan for a Richer Future", page 135

"In our desire to be responsible or practical, we often deprive ourselves of the chance to embrace our talents and gifts, to recognize our visions, dreams, and passions."
Dan Miller, "Transformed by a Dream", AARP Magazine, November/December 2007, page 88

"Live your vision every day. Create a clear picture in your mind's eye of where you want to go and crystallize that vision in your mind every day...The mind is where it all begins--and luck seems to have a funny way of catching up with you when you start becoming what you think about all day long."
Barry Farber, "Sell, It's Always Your Lucky Day", Entrepreneur Magazine, July 2008, page 71

Having great motivation pictures of ourselves and surroundings will not guarantee success. It will inspire us to greatness when the going gets tough.

When the going gets tough the tough get going!

Examples of intrinsic motivation

Maybe it's the opportunity to work full time on your laptop in something you're passionate about...

Are you motivated by the positive possibilities of a great business idea or the challenging consequences of not giving your best for your business idea?

Are you comfortable in your current position or are you willing to explore a future business possibility?

What are your motivation pictures?

1. On a scale of 1 to 10 (1 is no interest and 10 is "I must commit now") how commited are you to making a positive change to build a new business?

3. What is your biggest challenge?

4. What do you want to fix, accomplish or avoid?

One of the examples of intrinsic motivation is a poem like the following:

"Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you never can tell how
close you are,
If may be near when it seems afar,
So stick to the fight when you're
hardest hit;
It's when things seem worst
that you mustn't quit."
Don't Quit, Lee Jenkins, "This one's for Hep", Sports Illustrated, November 5, 2007, page 40

What's the secret about intrinsic motivation that makes it rewarding?

"...finding a pursuit that pushes your buttons can infuse anyone with sudden zeal for life. The secret about consuming passions, though, is that while they appear effortless, they require discipline and ability. If they were easy, they wouldn't be so rewarding."
Kathleen McGowan, "Second Nature", Psychology Today, April 2008, page 77

So do you have a strong enough reason to build a new business?

"If you want to achieve the American dream, you have to see it and believe in it first."
Rich Karlgaard, "The Gospel of Hope", Forbes, November 12, 2007, page 27
