 Hi, I'm George Kow and here's my sweet little dog Buddy. Buddy! Today in this video I want to talk about motivation. Do you know what are the top way or ways to motivate yourself to do things? Every... I mean there are so many personality types among human beings and not... you know some people might say well the way to motivate yourself is to get an accountability partner. Other people say well the way to motivate yourself is to is to publicly share your your goal so that you kind of have a lot of people watching for you to complete a particular project. Other people say no the way to motivate yourself is to do regular visualization. Well my answer to this is it depends on your personality type and the way to really find out is to experiment with different ways of motivating yourself and then trying a bunch of different ways and then and then evaluating okay which ways work okay. So what I did was I had a bunch of people apply to be by clients to be part of my coaching program and in my application I listed 13 ways to motivate oneself to get things done and I asked my applicants to score each of those ways based on their knowledge of themselves and so I want to share with you the top three ways that came back as well as the the bottom way and I will put a little bit of notes on all 13 ways in the notes attached to this video. The top three ways were number one connecting to the big picture so if you're having a hard time or whenever you need more motivation to get a particular project done to connect that project to the bigger why. Why is that important for your business? Why is it important for your life? What difference will it make? How will it create a life that you're really excited about or avoid a problem that you're really scared of? Okay so that's number one way is connecting to a big picture. Second way was to get an accountability partner a daily or weekly accountability buddy where you're checking with them either via email or via the phone on a weekly or daily basis or it could be like twice a week and they could just be short calls I get like 15 minutes to 30 minutes where you are reporting to each other on how did it go since your last call on making progress on the thing that you said you were going to make. If you did it celebrate if you didn't what did you learn how could you do it differently before the next call etc and then the third motivational way was to regularly write your top priorities so either every morning or at the beginning of the week to write down what are for example the top three priorities for you this day or the top three priorities this week to write it down. The losing motivational method out of the 13 that I had people score was sharing a goal publicly. This is surprising to me because that has been one of my top motivational methods. That really gets me to do something when I say to my audience I'm going to deliver something by a certain date I tend to get it done but a lot of my audience members they themselves don't find that motivational maybe they find that too too intimidating or yeah too self-defeating perhaps. So I welcome you to comment below this video let me know based on your own understanding of yourself what motivates you to get a difficult project done something that you're procrastinating on perhaps or has the potential for procrastination what do you do to make sure you give you a better chance of getting it done and then I'll share with you all 13 methods below. All right looking forward to your comments and until the next video I wish you well.
