After spending a good 15 years in the field, I've picked up a few tricks to keep that motivation engine running in sales. Want to hear some personal insights?
1. Setting Clear Goals: I swear by this one. Having solid, achievable goals has been like my North Star. They give me that sense of purpose, especially on those days when things get tough.
2. Celebrating the Small Wins (the hardest for me): Seriously, even the tiniest victories deserve a high-five. It's like a little boost that keeps the momentum going, no matter how small.
3. Visualizing Success: I've found real power in picturing myself nailing those goals. It's like a mental prep session that amps up my belief in conquering the challenge.
4. Keeping a Positive Outlook: Trust me, maintaining a sunny disposition is a game-changer. It shapes how I tackle problems and flips setbacks into growth opportunities. For example, I really loved the book 'Whatever it Takes by Brandon Bornancin'.
5. Surrounding Myself with Positivity: I make it a point to hang around folks who inspire and lift me up. They create an environment that fuels my motivation and keeps my eyes on the prize.
6. Never Stop Learning: I've got this insatiable hunger for knowledge. It's not just about getting better at what I do, but it also gives me that sense of progress and accomplishment.
7. Breaking Tasks into Bite-sized Chunks: When I'm faced with those daunting tasks, I break 'em down. It's amazing how each small step feels like a major victory.
8. Seeing Inevitable Challenges as Growth Opportunities: Challenges? They're like my personal trainers for growth. Seriously, they're no longer roadblocks but stepping stones. Doesn't work all the time, but I try ;)
9. Establishing a Routine: Having a structured routine? It's like my daily GPS. It gives me that stable foundation to build on, day in and day out.
10. Seeking Recognition and Feedback: Positive feedback and a pat on the back? They're like jet fuel for my motivation. Technically I don't have a boss, but fellow entrepreneurs and other Sales leaders can be incredibly inspiring.
11. Prioritizing Self-Care: Breaks and taking care of myself? It's a must. It keeps me refreshed and focused, making sure my motivation stays steady. I need to work more on this one though...
