Tips for staying motivated
Surround yourself with winners
"If you are never scared, or embarrassed, or hurt, it means you never take chances."
You are your biggest resource. The people who surround you are your next biggest asset.
Good influencers (your support crew) can become role models. They can help you stay motivated; they can support you when you are down; and you can share your goals with them so they can encourage and support you.
Bad influencers are people who drag you down – they want you to be like them and don’t want you to achieve because they don’t.
It’s hard to eliminate bad influencers from your life, so follow these tips to help surround yourself with great people:
- Identify who your support crew are, and make a list of them.
- Make a conscious effort to find ways of continually surrounding yourself with positive achievers.
- Tell your support crew your goals – ask for help and support to achieve them.
- Help and support in return; be there for them.
- Identify who the bad influencers are in your life and make a point of keeping your interaction with them to a minimum.
You have more control and influence than you think you do.
