Easy Way to Motivate

What does it mean to motivate? Dictionary.com's definition is "to stimulate toward action". To motivate your team members is to stimulate them toward action. So, how do I motivate my team? It's simple really. They are already doing what they're already doing. If you are already selling 5 widgets a week, you don't need to be motivated to sell 5 widgets a week anymore. What we as leaders often do is try to motivate people to do something they're already trying. "Let's work hard!" or "Everyone really keep a good attitude this weekend!" for example. But here's the key to REALLY motivating someone: Stimulate them to do something NEW!

• 1 new idea can totally change your way of doing business.
• 1 new idea can save you from burn out.
• 1 new idea can make your employees WANT to come to work.
• 1 new idea can change everything for you and your team!

We naturally lose our passion and motivation when we do the same thing day in and day out. So shake things up for you and your team. Even if you have to google something...try some new small idea and watch what happens.
