What the NFL
Taught Me About Being a Motivated Entrepreneur
Matt Mayberry
Let’s face it, entrepreneurs and business owners deal
with more stress, challenges
and setbacks than most. As
the going gets hard, motivation levels tend to decrease drastically.
The experience and amount of hardships that come along
with entrepreneurship
is a lot like a roller coaster. Things start off slow,
then, in a blink of an eye
rapidly shoot out the gate, offering up plenty of
twists and turns along the way.
Hopefully, at the end of the ride your arms are high in
the air in complete satisfaction.
That said, those twist and turns are trying times where
pressure and frustration
may have you second guessing what exactly it is you got
yourself into.
That’s why it’s very important we take control of our
emotions and find ways to fire ourselves up.
As a former professional athlete, I had to constantly
program my mind and motivate myself
even in the midst of some of the most difficult times in
my life.
These are the exact same strategies I have been implementing into my everyday life
for the
past ten years which have helped me achieve some
audacious goals as an entrepreneur,
a path that has afforded me the opportunity to be a
professional speaker, fit-life strategist,
fitness and health expert, author and high-performance
business coach.
Here is what I
have learned along the way about staying motivated all day long.
Carry a 'trigger card' around with you everywhere you go.
I call it a “trigger” card because one glance at this note card should have you
fired up
and ready to take things to the next level immediately.
It consists of writing your two most important goals on a
note card in the present tense
as if you already accomplished them. On the flip side of
the card, pick two to three quotes
that really move and inspire you. Whenever you are
feeling down or unmotivated,
pull your trigger card out and read it over a few times.
Talk to yourself
like a champion.
Thinking positive and empowering thoughts is one thing
but talking to yourself like a champion, reconditions your thought process in
an instant. With power and conviction, repeat phrases such as, “I am the
greatest at what I do,” “There is nothing that I can’t do when I fully commit
myself,”
and “There is nothing ordinary about me. I am a
champion.”
Rewrite your goals at some point throughout the
day. It is important to pick a time (or two)
during the day to rewrite your goals. From my experience,
I have observed that a majority of people have goals wandering around in their
head,
yet, only a small percentage have clear, written out goals
and an even smaller percentage rewrite
their goals daily.
Throughout our hectic day we become very susceptible
to
fall off track and forget about what we are striving towards.
This alone can
take motivation levels to the next level throughout the work day.
Search for ways to
grow and invest in your personal development.
This is a complete game changer. Constantly feed your
mind with material that will uplift your spirit and help you grow in your line
of work. Try turning off the music and indulging in a good audio book during
your commute to work. Read for 10 to 15 minutes on your lunch break.
Reach out to a friend or mentor who always seems to leave you
in a more positive and motivated place.
