Feeling Fulfillment – Motivational Monday

If your life was on the big screen… Would you stay and watch?

Feeling Fulfillment – Motivational Monday

I had a member of my team come to me last week and say…

“I can’t do this anymore, I’m overwhelmed and I don’t feel like I can perform my tasks anymore, I quit.”

Of course, a good leader is going not going to just watch teammates walk away. Especially when they know that the member is doing a great job, things can just be more difficult and they need reassurance of their position in the team.

We met for coffee and we talked about it. He was having a hard time putting his dissatisfaction into words. He said he was overwhelmed, that it felt like he was not making an impact on the team and he didn’t belong anymore.

We went over the usual workday process, found key points where he was struggling, and we addressed them accordingly.

My goal was to investigate why he was overwhelmed and where we could find balance.

Many times overwhelm is just an excuse for something much deeper.

Having fulfillment is… satisfaction in any situation. During massive growth or slowdowns, successful sales or failing a few times, having tasks that we don’t know how to do and the challenge of overcoming them, and pairing all of that with our daily lives.

I can’t blame him! Being on a high-performance team in one of the worlds largest sales organizations can definitely be overwhelming! But if you have Fulfillment… If you love the process, if it brings you joy to build a business and see the effects on other peoples lives… If you can take a step back from the massive todo list and take a look at the massive forest instead of just the biggest trees… You’ve grown a damn forest!

You’ve created processes that didn’t exist before you! Or you didn’t have the skill necessary to complete a task but now you do, and all of it was done to help an organization and build your own personal fulfillment in work and in life…

Being overwhelmed is definitely a symptom that needs to be addressed… but your longevity, your gratitude for waking up and having that opportunity needs to always be reinforced and never taken for granted.

This is a video by Simon Sinek. It’s geared towards millennials, but I see it as something that can affect us all. It really shines a light on having that fulfillment and how important even the smallest details in our lives can be.

P.S. Our overwhelmed friend had a few days off, and he’s back in the saddle doing the amazing work he is known to do.

Having Doubts – Motivational Monday

A mountain scene with bold text : DREAM BIG OR HUSTLE HARD.

Make Your Choice – Follow your dreams or Don’t

Having Doubts – Motivational Monday

“I don’t think it’s going to work…”

“I don’t think I can do this…”

“I never should have even started this…”

“Why can’t this be easier?”

Ever heard any of these?

Where did you hear it? I’ll bet that whenever you hear these words, they put you in a bad mood. They cause you to question where you are at in your life. You start to question your existence and what even matters…

I’ll bet that 99% of the time, it’s only you. It’s only your voice questioning your attempts at a better life.

Guess what: They will never go away.

Doubt will always be there, trying to pry into your life and stop you from taking action. It’s amazing to see how people will beat themselves into submission before anyone else has a chance to even try.

You have a choice.

We accept that the negative voice will always be there, but what do we do about it? Are you going to quit? When I started Network Marketing, I sucked, and I sucked for 5 long years before I finally started to gain traction and make a name for myself.

For 5 years I listened to these ideas…

Every. Single. Day.

Every. Single. Call.

But I always made a choice to push forward.

Making Negativity into Positivity

When the doubt-alarm would go off, that I was wasting my time and that I could not be successful, I smiled. A quick inner dialogue to say “Oh yeah? But what if I keep doing this, what will my life be like when I strike gold and make an amazing life?”

You will always have a choice – Listen to your self-doubt and become an easy-quitter, or be courageous enough to fight for your future.

 

P.S. You can do it. 

This video is an amazing interpretation of how you will always be your greatest enemy or your greatest motivation.

Laser Focused Hustle – Motivational Monday

This is YOUR life, YOUR journey. This very moment is the best time to make sure YOUR life is as great as you want it to be.

Laser Focused Hustle – Motivational Monday

I love this video: This is the 50-billion dollar man. He’s straight forward. He’s the kind of guy who will tell you like it is: Do you wake up and brush your teeth every morning? Making money is the same thing.

That laser-focused hustle every day is what makes dreams come true.

In the video, he talks about life being a journey – And he’s not wrong. We all have a chosen path in life, and choosing a path that makes you happy is the best thing we can do – but if you’re like me, and you have these great ambitions and you want the best parts of life for you and your family and your families family, you gotta stay focused.

No fear, no excuses, nothing.

I’ll let him speak for himself. This is great Motivational Monday Material, and I hope that your business, your work, and love and passion in life pursued with amazing power and focus.
