How Entrepreneurs Can Master Motivation To Build a High-Growth Business
Article by Christopher Connors 16 Nov, 2020 So many entrepreneurs get motivation wrong and never harness its true powers for self and business. Motivation mostly comes from within and like any good daily routine, you can mix in elements of motivation to how you handle your business each day. At best, it will become a habit.

First, let’s talk about what motivation is: Motivation is a passion and drive for achieving something; something that drives you to move forward to attain something meaningful for yourself and others
Motivation is the fire that burns bright inside of you that you can mentally and emotionally link to accomplishing something for the greater good
Motivation is more powerful when it comes from within and is used for yourself. But it’s also very impactful when using it as a leadership tool for your team when it’s backed by authenticity, purpose, and clarity Here’s what motivation is not: Motivation is not some rah-rah pep talk you need to give to your team
Motivation isn’t fake or forced
Motivation is not a quick-fix solution to underlying problems Motivation matters because we need the fuel that powers the engine, so to speak. We know we need to move our business forward, but it’s not always as easy as snapping our fingers and getting results.

As I’ve studied the lives of successful entrepreneurs and learned mastery through my own journey, I’ve found creating a time management system is pivotal to building momentum. This begins first with the following: Discipline
Planning
Schedule management
Task analysis and ultimately, execution You need the discipline to get started and set aside the time to plan. Planning clarifies goals and prioritizes what to do.

Every entrepreneur finds at the beginning of their journey that a fiction exists around always doing the things you love. The idea that we’ll always get to do what we love each day couldn’t be further from the truth. Thinking like that is toxic and dangerous.

There are so many things you need to do to drive your business forward that you won’t always love doing. Yes, that’s a fact. It’s best to link your intrinsic, or internal, motivation to a positive outlook for the exact results you want to achieve. This is where the clarity piece comes in.

Building your supply chain
Checking in with freelancers and monitoring progress
Tracking financial accounting It’s a lot easier to do the little things that drive your business forward when you’re motivated to do so.

It’s proof that the rah-rah pep talks don’t really help for anything more than a quick fix. Motivation creates a spark first and then becomes a bolstering force that accompanies us on our journey. I landed my biggest client by paying my own airfare and fee to attend an international industry conference and expo.

The point is this: motivation puts you in the driver’s seat to go for opportunities you previously would’ve passed up out of fear, doubt, or indifference. Motivation gives you “skin in the game” and revives your spirit, renewing your focus for what you most want to accomplish. It enables you to see your business partners and employees in a more positive light. It literally colors your view of the world around you.

You have to find the motivation that comes from within that encourages you to press forward and for that thing that keeps you going. Motivation is so misunderstood because people don’t see it as the “long game.” They ignore its powers as a dynamic generator of energy and courage. This is the most important message when it comes to motivation.

Motivation never truly turns off when we view it over the long haul. For the long term, motivation is a force that always challenges us, gets us off the mat when we’re down, infuses our mindset with belief, hope, and energy, and sustains us in all of our planning and building of our business.

An outstanding example of motivation is Gary Vaynerchuk. If you’ve spent even a few minutes on social media or YouTube over the past ten years, chances are you’ve crossed paths with a piece of “Gary Vee’s” content at some point.

For me, that’s EQ and I go all-in on it… Employing EQ has allowed me to set the foundations for multiple successful companies… and give back to the community in a way that a lot of other business leaders don’t or can’t or don’t want to.” Another brilliant example of an entrepreneur who believes in the power of motivation is Sheila Lirio Marcelo. If you’re not yet familiar with one of the world’s most successful CEOs, perhaps you can still benefit from her story. She founded Care.com and along each step of her journey used passion and purpose to fuel her dream.
