What is Motivation?

Do you like a typical motivational speaker? I know I don’t. Though people know me as “The Excellence Guy” and I am often referred to as the best content-rich motivational speaker of India, I still think that motivational speakers are fluffy, cliché and give their speeches stealing from best-selling books.

You may like motivational speakers or you may not, but you do need motivation. We all need motivation. One of the questions I get a lot from new speakers I coach is: “What is this motivation?” Well, my answer is always the same: Your motivation is the reason behind your action. It’s “why” you do what you do. So, if a team member is not motivated to make call to prospects, the reason is not that she is not good- but she can’t see the reason behind making the calls. So, all you need to do is find out why you do what you do- the reason behind the actions you ought to take.

When I took Sciences as my study stream in my high school, I was never interested in studying Physics, studying Chemistry. Because I never found out “why” it was important for me to study them. All that my parents told me was: “Bishal if you don’t study Sciences well, you can’t become an engineer.” Hah! I never wanted to become an engineer, I wanted to become a businessman, so I never saw the reason behind studying Physics & Chem. You get the idea?

The solution here is that you need to clarify your vision, find out what it is you want, and then find out your “WHY.” That will make you a self-motivated person, and you will never need a “motivational speaker” in your life again.
