GET MOTIVATED!
I just attended the GET MOTIVATED seminar in Salt Lake City, UT. I came away from the meeting so encouraged and pumped! If any of you have the opportunity to go to one of these I would say rearrange your schedule and get there!
I wanted to share a few of the highlights from a few of the speakers that really inspired me. I’m going to share just the main points because they speak volumes by themselves. (I will put my commentary in italics)
1) Kyle Whittingham (Utah University Head Football Coach)
DO RIGHT
DO YOUR BEST
SHOW PEOPLE YOU CARE
Staying focused and looking for the right team players is key in winning a football game.
Qualities of a Leader
1) Have passion for what they are doing
2) Have a vision and plan of what they want to accomplish
3) Have accountability (a mentor)
4) Have to be able to handle adversity
In order to be a leader in your network marketing business you must stay focused and have these qualities in your life. Don’t just look for anyone to be on your team; look for those true team players who are going to work and play as a team!
2) John Walsh (from America’s Most Wanted)
If you don’t know his story you need to! Read his detailed story here: JOHN WALSH
His story was very moving. His 6 year old little boy was murdered in 1981. But even through this horrific trial and event in his life he NEVER gave up! He kept going. He focused on others and has been able to help thousands of people along the way.
What I learned from him:
NEVER GIVE UP and ONE PERSON CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
I never knew his story till Wednesday. I just thought he had a TV show and had no problems in his life. You never know what someone else is going through. So, make sure you have a caring heart and understand you aren’t the only one who may have struggles in life. We all do! Just KEEP GOING!
3)Apolo Anton Ohno (8 time Olympic Medalist)
Know what you want! Do what you need to in order to get there.
Don’t think about the what ifs, would haves, should haves, could haves. Think of the blessings you have at that moment in your life.
REACH for the UNREACHABLE! Don’t put a ceiling on your goals and dreams!
Have the confidence that you have the ability and opportunity to succeed.
In network marketing you have the opportunity and you have the ability to reach every goal and dream you could possibly have. YOU just need to DO what it takes to MAKE IT HAPPEN.
4) Sarah Palin (Former Governor of Alaska)
Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.
Success requires: hard work, determination, passion, and perseverance.
BE INTENT ON YOUR GOAL!
When you have those down days you… DON’T RETREAT, JUST RELOAD.
Go get uplifted and get yourself able to function positively again.
How bad do you want your goals?
Find out what you are made of by pushing yourself beyond what you think you can do.
You should not let what you cannot do stand in the way of what you CAN do!
5) Mitt Romney (Former Governor of Massachusetts)
Points on Leadership
1) Get a Life – Find out what is truly important and focus on that: God, family, country
2) You can’t always plan your career, but when the opportunities come into your life, take them and run with them.
3) Go with your Strengths – focus on what you do well and make it better
4) Find out what is important in your business and do that
5) “The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.” – YOU can ONLY make the grass green on YOUR SIDE of the fence!
6) General Colin Powell (Soldier-Statesmen)
It doesn’t matter where you start in life. It matters what you do along the way and how you finish!
As a leader your job is to get followers and put them in the best position for success.
Good leaders have followers who believe in them.
Inspire and motivate your team. Give them the tools and equipment they need in order to succeed.
Care about your followers by showing them!
7) Rudy Giuliani (America’s Mayor)
If You Want to Be a Successful Leader
1) READ – always be reading something to make you better
2) LISTEN to people who know about what you want to know
3) TALK to people who don’t agree with you and get their perspective
4) WRITE things down! Know the pros and cons of a decision you are needing to make!
5) RELAX and THINK
6) CARE about people
8 – Tamara Lowe (Co-founder and Executive Vice President of the Get Motivated Seminar)
BE AN OVERCOMER!
From age 10-17 Tamara used and dealt drugs. Then there was a turning point in her life when she gave her life to the Lord. She OVERCAME her past!
Don’t be average!
Let your dreams come alive!
Find out what problems you want to solve. What do you want to help change in this world and go for it!
Find out what motivates people.
I know that is a lot of information to think about. But you would be wise to read it through a few more times and think about how you can change your life to be the successful life you desire it to be.
To Your Success,
Jessica Moffitt
