BRX Pro Tip: Cure for Lack of Motivation
Stone Payton : Welcome back to Business RadioX Pro Tips. Stone Payton, Lee Kantor here with you. Lee, this may never happen to you. It doesn’t happen with me as much as it might for some, just because I get so much joy out of the work that we do. But, you know, sometimes I do find that I’m a little less motivated than others. What do you do, if anything, when you come across someone else or yourself feeling a little bit less motivated?
Lee Kantor: Yeah, a motivation, it kind of ebbs and flows, and sometimes, you know, you’re ready to run through walls, and other times you’re wanting to just sit on the couch all day. I find that when you’re going through one of those lulls or plateaus, it’s important to just start taking some kind of action. It doesn’t even matter how big or small the action is, just something, some action in the area that you’re working on.
Lee Kantor: And like right now, something you mentioned earlier today, you did 20 push-ups. So if somebody just stopped, started right now and did one push-up, you know, they just stopped what they’re doing, did one push-up, what would happen is they probably wouldn’t do just one push-up because they do one push-up then – and that might be good enough if every day you did that one push-up. But what ultimately would happen is you’d probably say, well, maybe I could do another push-up. And then over time, you would see how many push-ups can I do. But it’s doing that one push-up. The first one is the hardest one. And once you’re doing it, it’s a lot easier to do the second, third, fourth. And like, you, I think, did 20.
Lee Kantor: So it’s important to begin, take that first action. That’s going to be enough to get you started. And if you start doing that every single day, then you’re going to find out that you’re making progress. And then when you’re making progress and you’re growing and things are going your way.
Lee Kantor: So try this on your business. Try sending out one prospecting email, see what happens if you do that. And then when you get going with that, send the second one, third one. And then you’re going to see your business growing.
Lee Kantor: So, take that first action. You can do it. Start now.
