533: Founder Friday “Secrets to Overcoming Distractions, Staying Focused, Energizing and Motivating Your Team”
โThe best time to plant a tree was 25 YEARS ago. The next best time is NOWโ โ Chinese Proverb
95% of success is about your attitude. You must have the right attitude about distractions and understand that they will never end.
When you accept that distractions will never end, then you become proactive in choosing your priorities instead of getting trapped in a cycle of excuses.
Itโs not lack of time that holds us from making it happen, it is lack of priorities. We always make time for the things we want.
If your loved one was at risk, you would do anything to save them.
To make it happen in your business, you must think like someone you love will be at risk if you do not show up for it. You must treat it like a job and with a sense of urgency.
How to energize and motivate your team, when they are doing nothing
We are in a distraction economy and your team will always be distracted. As a leader, you must distract the distraction in order to keep your team focused and motivated to work on the businessโฆ
You always must be promoting something new that excites your team. One of the best ways is to promote an event. Events are about the experience and social proof.
(1) ย ย You can do incentives. A 5-day challenge, a 10-day challenge.
(2) ย ย Get guest speakers for trainings. Your team get tired of listening to youโฆ because they are too familiar to them…
(3) ย ย Lead by example. People get excited when they watch you grow.
