SEVEN RULES OF MOTIVATION
#1 Set a major goal, but follow a path. The path has mini goals
#1 Set a major goal, but follow a path. The path has mini goals
that go in many directions. When you learn to succeed at mini
goals, you will be motivated to challenge grand goals.
#2 Finish what you start. A half finished project is of no use to
anyone. Quitting is a habit. Develop the habit of finishing self-
motivated projects.
#3 Socialize with others of similar interest. Mutual support is
motivating. We will develop the attitudes of our five best friends.
If they are losers, we will be a loser. If they are winners, we will
be a winner. To be a cowboy we must associate with cowboys.
#4 Learn how to learn. Dependency on others for knowledge
supports the habit of procrastination. Man has the ability to
learn without instructors. In fact, when we learn the art of self-
education we will find, if not create, opportunity to find success
beyond our wildest dreams.
#5 Harmonize natural talent with interest that motivates. Natural
talent creates motivation, motivation creates persistence and
persistence gets the job done.
#6 Increase knowledge of subjects that inspires. The more we
know about a subject, the more we want to learn about it. A self-
propelled upward spiral develops.
#7 Take risk. Failure and bouncing back are elements of motiva-
tion. Failure is a learning tool. No one has ever succeeded at any-
thing worthwhile without a string of failures.
