Yes, you read that right. Motivational quotes don’t work….
Unless you do something about it.
I get this question all the time. “Well, I show myself these quotes, I tell myself these affirmations every single day, why don’t they work!”
I usually ask back, “Well, do you DO anything about it?”
Now, I’m here to tell you how to make every motivational quote that you read that inspires you to actually work and help you as an entrepreneur, help your business grow, or make your life better, and what is that? That is the one-step action plan.
This is best described by examples….so let’s use a motivational quote:
“In order to succeed, we must first believe that we can.”
Okay, what’s the first action that you could take to make this motivational quote an action step for you?
Well, pick something that you know that you want to do or something that you want to do to succeed that you currently don’t believe you can. Find out what is it that you’re doing and run yourself through a line of question, “Okay, how do I know to believe that I can’t?” Find out where you learn to perceive this particular belief as an impossibility, then find out where you learn it from, how you learn it and then switch that around.
Most importantly, start asking the question, “What if I did believe?”
What if I did believe that?
What action will I take today towards that belief to become successful?
Again, remember, one step. Just pick one step as an action plan to take what inspired to motivate you by these motivational quotes to make it happen.
Motivational quotes don’t work unless you incorporate an action step every time you’re motivated and inspired. Okay, see, here’s what happens in our mind if we stay motivated and inspired and we don’t take action, it comes and then it goes and then the energy is gone.
In the moment when you’re feeling most motivated and most inspired, it is the most crucial time for you to take action because when you do that, basically you’re taking action at a peak point that gives you the most optimal chance and highest probability for a great result.
So, hopefully, that inspires you to kind of take a different look on affirmation and motivational quotes for you to start using those inspirational moments to push your business forward.
