Why I Bought The 11 Forgotten Laws

Do you remember that first spark of hope you felt when you watched ‘The Secret’ DVD? I clearly remember the desire that filled my heart, knowing that – Yes, I can make my dreams come true – FINALLY! Ok, so these sorts of products do often create an immeadiate rush of energy and motivation. After a few weeks however and (to be honest) lazy application of the methods contained in the ‘The Secret’, I started wondering:

- “It seems to work for other people, but I just can’t get it right.”

- “I’m frustrated that sometimes I can get it to work, but sometimes I can’t. What’s the trick?”

- “Why am I having so much trouble?”

- “I think the universe is against me.”

I don’t think I was alone. I mean if you think about, just like anything else, you have to practice many times before you see success at a difficult challenge. A child doesn’t learn to walk without falling over a couple of times, right?

But in practice, everything is easier said and done. When you’re frustrated, it’s hard to stay positive. And it’s especially harder to stay positive when the evidence all around you is screams negativity like the unstable economy or senseless acts of violence such as those recently seen in Mumbai.

I think that many people give up because they think that “‘The Secret’” is the “be all and end all” solution. Well, it’s NOT. ‘The Secret’ is just a small portion of the whole concept. It was never intended, and has never been, the whole answer.

I realised that coming to the conclusion that the Law of Attraction doesn’t work when all I ever did to educate myself was watch ‘The Secret’ 19 times (without really looking at changing the habits of other areas of myr life) is like coming to the conclusion that exercising is not an effective way to lose weight because all I did is run on the treadmill for 2 hours a day while still stuffing myself with fried foods and cheesecakes.

So, I was hungry for new knowledge and sought it out. And discovered that ‘The Secret’ only focuses on one part of a whole host of principles that can help sculpt your life into a happier being.

Daily Motivation – What Motivates You Everyday?

April 8, 2009 by admin  
Filed under Motivation

Every experience that a person has impacts him or her positively or negatively. All of the positive moments most likely enhance our daily motivation. Daily motivation is what enables us to strive to be better people, to work towards goals, and to lead fulfilling lives.

Setting goals:
Many of us set goals for ourselves. In turn, these goals motivate us to work hard to achieve success. Goals drive an individual’s daily motivation. Goals such as getting a Master’s degree, having a high-paying job, getting married, purchasing an expensive car, or mortgaging a home drive a person to succeed. When setting a goal, a person must remember that taking small steps to achieve it helps keep up a positive attitude. It is best not to get overwhelmed with attaining a huge goal quickly; but rather one should take small steps to get it done. The desire to accomplish a goal is what keeps people going, even on bad days.

Self Investment
Daily Motivation is completely intertwined with the idea of self-investment. The most productive and driven people are never afraid to invest in themselves. Leaders have often sought out useful leadership books and learning material that will help them along the path to happiness and leadership. These days, many e-courses tend to be rather disappointing, but I’m pleased to recommend one e-course that is still respected by leadership professionals such as myself: The 11 Forgotten Laws. It’s generally seen as an essential and core ‘crash course’ in the laws and secrets you need to know to further your leadership & career and even help find happiness in other areas of your life. It’s an excellent base upon which you can build your personal development.

Attitude:
A positive attitude is a source of daily motivation. Believing that one of your goals is too difficult to achieve will eventually prevent you from achieving it. Having a negative attitude will cause you both internal and external stress. A negative attitude will de-motivate you, and put you on the road to failure. To achieve your goals, you must be able to tell yourself that every goal can be attained with hard work. If you tell yourself that you can do it, chances are that you will. Never underestimate the power of the mind. Daily motivation is all about attitude and outlook.

Religion:
While not all of us are religious, many people who are will agree that religion helps improve daily motivation. Religion can be used as a great motivational tool for people from all walks of life. Religion – no matter what kind – encourages mindfulness and internal motivation. The religious depend on their beliefs to strengthen them mentally.

People often depend on their religion when things are going downhill. Prayer and meditation inspire those who might otherwise turn to drinking, food, or drugs to nurture their spirits. Religion may help some people to be more mentally and physically healthy. Therefore, religion is a positive source of daily motivation.

The Desire To Live:
Daily motivation also comes in the simple desire to live. Whether children, a job, or money inspires someone to get out of bed in the morning, that person is motivated by something in life.

Even things as simple as nature can motivate someone to maintain a positive attitude about life even when times get hard. A person can take pleasure in nature’s beauty by taking time to smell the roses or listen to the birds sing. Studies show that people who live in warmer climates have a more positive attitude about life in general. These same people also have the tendency to go outside and exercise more often. This exercise brings about a sense of inner peace and positive feelings, thus becoming a daily motivation for many people.

Motivational Quotes

April 8, 2009 by admin  
Filed under Motivation

Motivational quotes work really well to inspire an individual and help him or her overcome the toughest phase of life. Now, the challenge can be to come out of the smoking phase, recovering from low self esteem, health issues, weight loss or to enhance their qualities.

Quotes for motivation also posses the power to rewrite negative thoughts that may have extend your mind. This is a great way to achieve success.

There is a need to surround you with positive motivational quotes. This is a fantastic way to overcome a temporary set back that has entered your life. These quotes are capable of instilling you with positive energy and zest. You will definitely feel changed up once you read them.

For instance, if you have been given a project, that you want to accomplish and you think that the task is really difficult. This situation is enough to make you feel bad and discouraged.

However, how would you feel if you suddenly happen to read something like the following?

- “Success comes to those who dare and act.”

- “Nothing is impossible in life as the word impossible itself says ‘I’m possible.”

- “Dream, plan, believe and act. The success is just a step ahead.”

- “Believe you can and you will.”

In short, quotes for motivation around you can add up to the zest in your life.

Motivation is also completely intertwined with the idea of self-investment.

As an alternative method, many motivated leaders I have come across regularly invest in themselves. Leaders have often sought out useful leadership books and learning material that will help them along the path to happiness and motivation. These days, many e-courses tend to be rather disappointing, but there are a few e-courses that are still respected by leadership professionals such as myself such as The 11 Forgotten Laws. It’s generally seen as an essential and core ‘crash course’ in the laws and secrets you need to know to further your leadership & career and even help find happiness in other areas of your life. It’s an excellent base upon which you can build your personal development.

Benefit of using quotes for motivation:

a) Strength and Commitment

Quotes for motivation help in making you strong and committed. There are excellent sources to inspire you to excel in your field and out beat others. Most successful personalities across the globe have got inspiration from motivation quotes and instances. For example the great Napoleon Bonaparte got his inspiration to succeed from an ant who tried to take in food towards the wall and had fallen many times prior to getting to the final destination.

b) Encouragement in the time of despair

There are times when things go wrong and don’t work out. You need a strong source of encouragement during this period. There is a lot in these quotes that will help you to take good action and also strengthen your mind processes and thoughts. If you read these quotes and apply them in your life, you would definitely succeed in your mission.

How to use quotes for motivation effectively:

Once you have chosen a motivational quote related to your goal, you need to print it. Get it printed on a nice paper in an attractive font. You can even write it down in your best handwriting. Make sure that the quote you have chosen for yourself really provides you a kick.

Now, it’s time to display it at places where they are most effective. Stick these notes on a bathroom mirror, dashboard, screensaver, Billboard around your desk or in a picture frame above your bed.

Once you have placed these quotes for motivation at their best locations, read them frequently, several times in a day. Try to say these aloud. Feel them and most importantly believe them. You will see a major difference in your motivation.

Ultimate Guide To Leadership Motivation

April 8, 2009 by admin

Intrinsic motivation is when an individual is motivated by internal factors, as opposed to external factors.

Examples of intrinsic motivation would be doing something because you feel it is the moral and ethical thing to do; doing something because you know it will benefit others or doing something because it brings you pleasure and joy.

The latter is common in regards to an enjoyable pastime or a hobby.

It is believed that intrinsic motivation is far stronger than extrinsic motivation however there are times when extrinsic motivation can become stronger because it displaces intrinsic motivation.

This is known as the overjustification effect. For example this occurs when you begin doing something for intrinsic reasons and then are offered monies or another type of reward for doing it that overrides the reason you started doing it in the first place.

In many cases when this happens, a person loses interest in the activity once the reward is taken away. The key is to not offer large extrinsic rewards for something that is meant to be motivated intrinsically (in other words, from within).

Motivation is also completely intertwined with the idea of self-investment.

As an alternative method, many motivated leaders I have come across regularly invest in themselves. Leaders have often sought out useful leadership books and learning material that will help them along the path to happiness and motivation. These days, many e-courses tend to be rather disappointing, but there are a few e-courses that are still respected by leadership professionals such as myself such as The 11 Forgotten Laws. It’s generally seen as an essential and core ‘crash course’ in the laws and secrets you need to know to further your leadership & career and even help find happiness in other areas of your life. It’s an excellent base upon which you can build your personal development.

Intrinsic motivation has been widely studied by researchers in the realm of education since the start of the 1970s and their findings have been that when students are intrinsically motivated to do well in school, they tend to perform better, make higher marks and they also tend to enjoy the material they are learning a great deal more.

A man named Bernard Weiner created a theory known as the “Attribution Theory” and he looked at such things as the orientation of goals and the locus of control (internal and external).

As an aside, an internal locus of control is when a person believes that they have control over what happens to them whereas an external locus of control means that a person believes that control is outside of themselves and has more to do with extraneous factors as opposed to their own actions.

According to Bernard Weiner, students are much more likely to possess intrinsic motivation in their studies if they feel that their educational achievements have more to do with their own efforts as opposed to anything else.

As well students will experience intrinsic motivation if they feel that they play a paramount role in attaining their own personal educational goals as opposed to feeling as those it has more to do with luck or simply a “roll of the dice.” Finally when students have motivation that comes from within they will work harder to completely understand and master a given subject as opposed to simply learning the work at hand so they can pass a test or exam and then forgetting it afterwards.

Keep in mind that intrinsic motivation holds no promise of rewards for students as opposed to extrinsic motivation, which is all about rewards.

Many decades of research has given rise to a theory known as “Goal Theory” which has shown that intrinsic motivation in some communities and groups is altruistic in nature as the desire to help others and contribute to the greater whole is the number one motivator.

When a person appeals to the common good or does something based on a moral obligation or commitment to others this is when intrinsic motivation is shown to be alive and well in the world.

Are You Getting The Most Out Of Corporate Awards?

April 8, 2009 by admin  
Filed under Motivation

When you think about all of the different resources that your company has, which do you get the most value from? Is it from the machinery or is it from the people who work for you? In the end, the people are the ones who are most valuable and create the greatest value. This article will look at why corporate awards are so important to taking your business to the next level.

When you first start thinking about where your business is and where you want your business to grow, where do your employees fit within the picture? Your employees’ productivity and contributions to the business will be what can take you to that next level. To increase the contributions your employees make to the business, it is important to create an environment which fosters happiness and where people want to come to work. This will boost employee motivation and consequently your productivity as well.

Creating that environment can start with making sure people are happy. Part of what makes people happy is recognition for a job well done. This is where corporate awards can come into play. It gives you a chance to recognize employees for a job well-done. In the end, employee longevity and your rate of turnover often have less to do with the pay scale than employee perceptions of the workplace and whether they want to come to work in the morning.

You can use corporate awards in a variety of different situations to recognize your employees. You may decide to do an employee of the month and the winner receives a corporate award. This could be something that employees vote on so that more people are engaged and paying attention to the efforts that others make. Many people will become conscious of others’ efforts and this may raise their level of performance as well. You could have an award for the “Contributor of the Year” for that person who has done the most to build your business for a particular year. You could have specific corporate awards for each particular department. These awards can be used because different departments may have different requirements for what a good job is. The same behaviors and actions that make a good accountant do not equal what it takes to be a good salesperson. You may want to recognize someone in each department consequently with a corporate award.

Corporate awards can be a single piece of your employee recognition and motivation plan. It comes down to developing your talent to a greater level and one of the best ways to do this is through motivating and developing your employees. In these times of financial struggle for both corporations and individuals, it is essential to find ways to keep and build that talent on your team. If you were able to make your employees happier and more productive simply by investing in corporate awards, would you not? This is much less expensive than having to hire new workers to do more work when your existing team can do it if they are happy and satisfied people. So for efficient leadership management, and a cost effective technique that is cheaper than leadership training, leadership coaching or even investing in a batch of leadership books, try corporate awards.
