Are you dissatisfied with your job and are you buying too many lottery tickets in the hopes you’ll win and be able to enjoy a quick retirement?
For most professionals the job can be very exciting. You envision a world, you create it, you see it through the eyes of your peers, and bask in the glory of watching how much they enjoy it. The process is exhausting but very satisfying.
But what about those times where the stress mounts and there’s no release? What about when your job feels like a scene in the movie Groundhog Day, where it’s the same surly type of client day in and day out. How do you stay inspired?
At Think and Get Rich Bootcamp you will learn some tips to find your motivation again
Even people who are super motivated in their goals have days when they’re down on their job. Famous trainer Jillian Michaels told People magazine, “There’s never a moment where it’s hard and I’m going, ‘Oh, I just love this!’”
Embrace that there will be days you love what you do and days where you won’t.
All of us have problems with motivation. You are not unique in this sense.
What makes high performers different is that they don’t allow emotions to determine their actions. They show up and get it done.
Surround Yourself with What You Want to Be.
