Monday: Motivation = Desire + A Clear Why

Listen Here:

The Real Estate Show crashes the Monday Morning blues with a lesson on how to create the motivation that can drive you to do anything you want. That's because, motivation, true motivation comes from within not from outside. Those that realize this can harness its power and do great things. Those that don't, go from motivational seminar to seminar looking for that mythical injection of motivation from an outside source, but lasting motivation never comes.

It has long been recognized that Real Estate is a vehicle which makes great wealth possible. There is lots of evidence of real estate success all around us. There is also no lack of manuals, tutorials, courses, workshops and boot camp's on how to do it. So why isn't everyone doing it? I believe it's because of motivation, I mean real motivation, the motivation that comes from within, not outside. From within?

I love going to motivational seminars just as much as the next person. There are certain speakers that seem to create such positive energy and excitement that it's like a drug. It leaves you feeling great. That is until it wears off. And that's the problem I see with many otherwise great seminars and meetings. You go there to get pumped up, and it does get you pumped. You walk out of some of these meetings walking on air thinking and planning how great life is going to be from now on... until life's little distractions eat away at that positive energy and soon (usually in less than 24 hours) it's gone. Then it's the daily grind, back to "normal", all over again. So how do you stop the vicious cycle of ra-ra motivational ups and downs, and get to getting the results you REALLY want? Read on.

I can no longer remember where I first heard it, but I have heard over and over that motivation comes from inside of the US, and NOT someone else. Wow, that's confusing. Why do I feel so good after these great motivational speakers speak like Tony Robbins and Zig Ziglar, just to name two? It's because they are great storytellers - of their story. Then you start transferring their story to how you feel and the feelings are similar, sometimes even seem exactly the same. Then you feel good, you relate. You start making plans to do things that would make your story seem cool and similar, but the speaker leaves you and now you have to carry his message forward and now you get into the grinding world of implementing. The only problem is he/she did their part, and now you have to do yours. My part? But wait! I paid good money to get motivated, took the time out of my day, and that's not enough? Nope! Here's the deal:

I'm going to make this simple, and I want to make this clear. There is a motivation equation. And here it is: motivation = a strong desire + a crystal clear reason why. It sounds simple, but it isn't. First of all, you have to have a strong desire. Not an interest in something, but a burning desire, that is not going to fade away at the next novel idea or shiny object. Figuring out if you really have a burning desire for something, is a little bit like the difference between being interested in, or deeply infatuated with someone for a while, and truly loving them forever. For most people, they have a passing fancy, but not a burning desire. This takes some soul-searching because when you stop and select that burning desire, it necessarily means that you will have to sacrifice other not so important wants.

The second element in the motivation equation is a clear, a crystal clear reason why you must achieve that burning desire or goal. This part of the process may be even more difficult than the first. There are several theories why, but the fact of the matter is that it is. It's easy to see touch and feel many of the goals or burning desires that people want. A new car, a new house, a certain amount of money, are all easy things to identify or imagine as your burning desire. However, it takes some real thought and introspection to clearly define WHY that is a burning desire. It has to be clear not only in your mind, but it has to be clear enough that you could write it down on a piece of paper hand it to someone else, and they could see what you want and the clear reason why there is no other option. You couple those two together, a burning desire, and a crystal clear why, and you will have an internal motivation that drives you through any obstacles that come up. And there will be obstacles. Try this formula. Truly work it. Then watch your motivation take off - from inside!
