Are You Motivated?
In a recent conversation, I was asked, “What motivates you?”
Whether on an interview or speaking to a client it is important to demonstrate in your answers that you are motivated to exceed all expectations. How do you come across in conversation upon answering questions such as the one above?
Salespeople have an easy time with this because they are typically goal setters and super achievers. Keeping the yearly employment review in mind, “exceeds all expectations” and the year-end rewards, it becomes a competitive game for all.
But for entrepreneurs, “Are you motivated?” is a very significant question. Upon starting my own business, “Overwhelm” didn’t begin to describe the feeling of recognizing what needed to be learned in order to succeed. The idea of quitting was only a fleeting thought. I knew deep down I was Very motivated to succeed. Not only was I willing to continually self-educate, but I networked to meet those more advanced to observe and learn from them, and I paid others to coach me on occasion.
Motivated people do whatever it takes to move business forward and develop brand awareness.
The problem for many new entrepreneurs is they often do not know what they need to implement or even how to prioritize what they need to know. The best starting point is a difficult dilemma for many. Luckily many wonderful resources exist today designed to help you grow. The internet plays a huge part in this. Newsletter, blogs and articles on every subject are available online. Communities on Facebook and specialized tweets on Twitter offer great information, and outstanding connections may be made on LinkedIn too.
