How to Motivate Your Team to Take Action

The biggest way that you can motivate your team is to show your team how crazy motivated you are by your actions.

How to Motivate Your Team to Take Action

I was going through some comments this morning and one of the questions that someone had asked me was, “How do I motivate my team?”

Rather than asking “how do I motivate my team,” a better question would be, “How do I motivate myself?”

I think the biggest way that you motivate a team is to show your team how crazy motivated you are by your actions.

Motivate Your Team by Your Actions

When your team sees that you are crazy motivated, that you’re crazy inspired, and taking massive action, you show them how to act.

You don’t tell people how to act.

Everyone’s worried about finding the magical thing to tell their team that gets them to go take action, but in reality, there is no magical thing to tell your team.

Yes, you need a system and training in place, and I’m assuming, if you’re part of a network marketing company, you probably have an up line who’s got some kind of a system in place, but what needs to happen is you need to get on fire!

When you get on fire, your team feels it because you’re transferring that emotion to them.

The question is more than how do you lead your team and motivate your team, it’s how do you lead yourself and motivate yourself.

Take notes because I’m going to tell you a handful of ways to do this.

Growing Yourself Daily Helps Feed & Motivate Your Team

If you’re not growing yourself on a daily basis, you’re going to have a hard time growing the team because if you’re not feeding yourself, you can’t feed anyone else.

If you’re dying intellectually from a lack of stimulation, your team is going to die and decay.

Feed yourself first, motivate yourself first, and inspire yourself first with daily personal development.

Go read one damn page of a book every day. Do something. You got to build the habit.

We’ve all heard, “Do 30 minutes a day of this. Read 10 or 15 pages of a book each day.” Whatever it is. If you can’t commit to that, start now, and commit to reading one page each day. Anyone can commit to that.

Take five minutes to read one page and do it every single day to build the habit.

The quality of our life is based on the quality of the habits that we have.

I’ve built a habit of feeding myself every day and because I’m always feeding myself, it makes it easy for me to feed other people.

Daily Goals

Every single day you should have a goal.

The goal may be to call one person. The goal may be to read one page in a personal development book. Regardless of what it is, you need daily goals.

When you have daily goals, that leads to another point that I want to touch on which is daily discipline.

When you accomplish goals every day, even if the goal is as simple as reading one page of a personal development book, when you have that daily discipline, when you do what you said you were going to do, guess what that builds?

It builds confidence.

You become more confident by having wins.

You need to have a win every single day. Do not let a day go by without having a win.

One of my daily wins is building my body and training my temple. Every day, I do something to train my temple.

There are some days where I’m not able to go into the gym and lift and there are some days where I can’t do 30 minutes of cardio but I need to accomplish a goal every day regarding my temple. My health is all I have, right? If I’m not fit, if I don’t have energy and vitality, it’s going to be harder for me to go inspire the world.

I may do 10 pushups. That allows me to accomplish the goal every day.

That builds confidence because I’m staying in integrity with myself. Forget integrity with other people.

Yes, you need to have integrity with others. You need to do the things that you say you’re going to do but it starts with you having integrity with yourself.

If you don’t, you lack confidence and belief within yourself. You shatter any possibility of being worthy and any possibility of having internal self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-worth.

Hold Yourself Accountable

So, do something every day to accomplish a goal. Just get consistent with it. Write them down every single day. Hold yourself accountable.

At the end of every day, you’re going to look at your goals and see what you did.

I like to write them down and check them off throughout the day. I like seeing the check mark. It makes me feel more confident and accomplished.

In fact, there are things that I end up doing that I didn’t plan to do on some days, so when I accomplish them, I write those down, too, and then I put a check mark by it because it makes me feel good and builds my confidence.

You will feel proud of what you accomplished and will be able to see the things that you need to carry over to the next day.

Hold yourself accountable every day. Do daily dream building and write down daily reasons why you must achieve success and then the daily consequences of you not taking action on those goals.

I hope you got value out of this.
