Accountability Now
Hi, my name is Don Markland. I'm the CEO and founder of AccountabilityNow, the greatest sales, and marketing coaching firm on planet earth. And I work with entrepreneurs, executives, leaders, sales managers, all over the world. And they almost always ask me, Don
"Do I have a motivation problem?"
100% of the time. We don't have a motivation problem. You don't have a motivation problem. You are 100% motivated all the time. Even when you don't feel like doing something, the problem is. You don't know how to channel your motivation in the right areas. You see, when I was younger, my, with a young family, my brother-in-law was staying with us and he would sleep on our couch and he couldn't get a job or wouldn't get a job.
And all he wanted to do was play video games all day. And in my mind, I thought this guy is the most unmotivated person I've ever known. The trouble was he wasn't a motivated, he was actually so motivated, he could stay stuck to a couch all day. I wish I had that discipline and that's where it clicked. I realized we're all motivated all the time.
It's about channeling the motivation towards what we want. You are motivated. You need to do like my brother-in-law did. You need to find what you really want? What you really get out of life and channel your daily behaviors towards those actions. When you feel yourself not being inspired or excited to do certain things, it's because you lack commitment, not motivation.
My name is Don Markland and I'm the CEO and founder of AccountabilityNow, the greatest sales and marketing coaching firm on planet earth. And I hope this helps and I hope to talk to you really soon
