Chapter 9

BE YOUR BEST MOTIVATION

At some point in your entrepreneurial journey, you will come to the point of realization that other people’s lives will not motivate you enough to keep going than your own life.

Developing yourself to be your own motivation will at some point on entrepreneurial journey be the factor that might determine if you stay long enough on your entrepreneurial endeavor.

You cannot continue throughout your entrepreneurial journey to drink from the cup of motivation of your mentors. You have to develop yourself enough and fill yourself enough to be able to motivate yourself and have an overflow of motivation that other people can drink from and stay motivated.

This truth helps put you in a situation of self-awareness and builds the desire in you to develop yourself to be a role model that other aspiring entrepreneurs after you will want to follow in his steps.

A lot of entrepreneurs I have counseled on this topic have always thought it to be such a big shoe to wear but while you may be thinking the same, I want to bring you to the understanding that it always seems impossible until it is done.

Being your own best motivation has all to do with persistent and conscious practice of the truths and advices given in this book.

It is important you understand that it is never a onetime event.

Persistent practice of these truths in your daily entrepreneurial journey does one amazing thing for you, it literally helps you develop a ‘tough skin’ to intelligently face all entrepreneurial challenges and setbacks and emerge a well-refined entrepreneurial product.

By developing and growing this trait, you begin to develop a well of motivation that will eventually yield to an overflow that others can drink from and stay motivated on their entrepreneurial journeys.

Every successful entrepreneur today who is now a motivation to the new world of entrepreneurs was at some point in their lives drinking from the overflow of motivation of successful entrepreneurs before them until they had enough. They understood the importance of being their own motivation and developed themselves until they could come to a point of overflow of motivation where others could drink from and stay motivated.

Jack Canfield once shared a story about his relationship with his mentor William Clement Stone.

Even before Jack Canfield ever really learnt what goal setting was, William Clement Stone told him to set a goal that was too big that it would blow his mind when he eventually achieves it.

He revealed that at the time he was making $8,000 per year and he set a goal to make $1 000 000 per year.

This he did without any strategy to achieve it but he set this ‘big goal’ anyways. He said he had a book he had written and it occurred to him that by having this book published and if he sold a certain number of the books per quarter of the year; he would make a million that year.

He worked on the strength of this motivation and achieved his financial goals and it has always worked for him ever since then.

He has been able to develop an overflow of motivation within himself that entrepreneurs after can drink from and stay motivated.

Always have in your subconscious that a new world of entrepreneurs is waiting to be sustained by the strength of the overflow of the motivation you develop within you in order to help them stay motivated on their entrepreneurial dreams

 

EPILOGUE
