Bulletproof Motivation
Introduction
Want to be richer? Want to be in better shape? Want to build an amazing business?
How about improving your relationships? How about living in an incredible house?
All of these goals are achievable. None of them is beyond your reach.
And you know what? You probably already know how to achieve most of them. You probably already have the skills, the knowledge, and the expertise.
And sure, you could read a book on each of these topics. You could read a book on how to get into great shape, and you could read another on how to build a business. Chances are you would just be procrastinating. Chances are you’re just spinning your wheels rather than getting down to the actual hard work you know you’re really supposed to be doing.
You don’t have a problem with how. You don’t have a problem with what.
The issue is with just actually doing the things you’re meant to be doing. It’s sticking to that diet plan. It’s saving that money instead of spending it on little things. And it’s approaching clients to offer your hard work.
The problem for most of us is that we just lack the motivation that we need in order to start on a new project. Even if we start out well, we often end up flagging and giving up after not long.
So how do you get around this problem? How do you maintain motivation and drive? How do you stay disciplined and focused?
This is the ultimate example of “teach a man to fish,” because you’re not just learning the steps you need to take to accomplish something; you’re learning the very “stuff” that accomplishment is made of. With true grit, determination, and willpower… you can accomplish literally anything that you put your mind to.
In this book, you will learn to fish. You will learn to dig deeper than ever before, whether it is to complete a workout, to write the next great American novel, or to create your own business. Once you
can commit yourself 100% to a given task, who knows what you can accomplish!
Chapter 1 – Why Motivation is Key to Everything
Sounds grim doesn’t it? Grit and determination are not exactly normally spoken in the same breath as “fun” or “relaxation!”
Actually though, once you get your motivation and your discipline sorted, you will find that you have more time to enjoy yourself or to relax with family. That’s because you’ll be able to work more quickly and efficiently, and you’ll be able to work towards the goals that actually interest you.
I have a real issue with people who say that in order to be successful you need to sacrifice time with family and friends. It bothers me when people say they can’t be in a relationship because they need to “focus on their career.”
The reason this bothers me, is that I 100% believe (and know) that you can have it both ways. You can work extremely hard on a project you are passionate about and be extremely successful doing so. At the same time though, you can still find time to spend with friends and family. You can still find time to relax on the sofa and watch TV. You just have to work HARD and work SMART and then STOP.
In this book, you’ll learn how to do all of that.
And with this kind of motivation and mental toughness will come all kinds of additional benefits. Benefits you can’t even believe.
Firstly, you’ll find that you’re more resilient to things that happen in your life. When you get bad news, you will be able to take it in your stride, adapt, and carry on. When you have more determination, you’ll be able to improve all your skills through intense learning, analysis, and repetition. When you have motivation, you’ll be cognitively faster because you’ll be able to focus on the task in hand without distraction.
And you’ll be able to get out of bed on time in the morning. Clear the kitchen at the start of each day. And bite your tongue in an argument because you aren’t a slave to your emotions (resulting in many hurt feelings prevented).
This will be your superpower. It will change EVERYTHING for you. And in this book, you’re going to learn how to tap into it.
