Motivational Monday - Going for the Gusto


Ready set goTop business leaders in every field will tell you that they are most inspired by someone telling them that they can’t do something. Not giving up (tenacity) is one of those inner-most motivators that many successful people possess. 

 

Others are motivated by the drive for excellence - doing the right thing, integrity and being excellent in every way. Branding yourself as trustworthy and excellent…in every way. 

 

With all of these business leaders, recognition that failure is inevitable is also key. Plotting your process of recovery with each failure and following through with that, is what builds true strength and builds upon that excellence brand.

 

Viewing failure and recovery as one of life’s challenges - not a threat, not a negative - is something in which those leaders with the propensity for not giving up, excel.

 

When you’re feeling defeated or have recently suffered from inevitable failure in business, remember to step back, take a deep breath and through the mind fog, light your and GO FOR THE GUSTO!

Good morning, Debe Maxwell, CRS whether it's in business or at the gym, the advice of taking a step back and lighting your soul on fire is good advice.... I work it frequently....

Good morning Debe. Failure is a signal you took the wrong road and need to get back on track! Enjoy your day!

Hi James Dray! Miss Anna Banana Kruchten,CRS,CRB,GRI had written about how she inspired someone in the Q&A section the other day and then someone else posted another question, asking how you re-group. I think that there are times in everyone's life that you simply have to MAKE yourself re-light that fire in your soul!

I'm happy to hear you're on fire and ready to go today, James!

Hi Barbara Todaro - it takes discipline sometimes but, keeping that fire lit is so rewarding - in business, in life or in the gym!!

Yes indeed, Wayne Martin - those forks in the road can be confusing but, re-grouping and focusing on that "road map" will get you headed in the right direction, if you put your mind to it!

I work really hard every moment of my day, so I can have free time.  Is that an oxy moron or what?

Debe love your positive attitude.  Success depends a lot on how we handle set backs.  Set backs can either defeat us, or be the motivation to overcome them.  I choose to overcome and leave the defeat to others.

Well, don't feel bad - I'm WAY behind too, Endre Barath, Jr.! It's tough to be busy and keep up with everyone here too - and Facebook - and IN REAL LIFE!!  

Oh, if only we had more hours in the day! LOL

I agree, Lou Ludwig! I took a page out of your book on motivation on Monday - I saw a need and hoped it would help a fellow member!

Have a great week, Lou!
