Please Don’t Waste Your Time Getting Motivated
Motivation is that LAST thing you need to be successful.
I say that not only with a straight face, but also as someone who makes a living as a motivational speaker, coach, and writer..
That’s why I know it’s the truth…I am a professional. ;)
If I asked you what the number one thing you need to create success with anything in your life is, you might say things like: motivation, money, or a big network (aka “knowing someone”).
And you would be wrong.
Each of those things can be helpful, but none of them are necessary for success. As a matter of fact, I know a lot of people who have some or all of those things, but have never found success.
There is one answer to that question that will give you a better chance of finding success than anything else.
The answer is commitment.
If you want to be successful, commit first, and get motivated later.
Here’s why that is true.
Think about a time when you wanted to do something — maybe lose weight, or start meditating every day, or going to the gym, or starting a side gig, etc. It can be anything you truly got excited about doing.
