533: Founder Friday "Secrets to Overcoming Distractions, Staying Focused, Energizing and Motivating Your Team"

 
“The best time plant a tree was 25 YEARS ago. The next best time is NOW” – Chinese Proverb
95% of success is about your attitude. You must have the right attitude about distractions and understand that they will never end.
When you accept that distractions will never end, then you become proactive in choosing your priorities instead of getting trapped in a cycle of excuses.
It’s not lack of time that holds us from making it happen, it is lack of priorities. We always make time for the things we want.
If you loved one was at risk, you would do anything to save them and make it happen.
To make it happen in your business, you must think like someone you love will be at risk if you so not show up for it. You must to treat it like a job and with a sense of it urgency.
How to energize and motivate your team, when they are doing nothing..  
We are in a distraction economy and your team will always be distracted. As a leader, you must distract the distraction in order to keep your team focused and motivated to work on the business…
You always must be promoting something new that excites your team. One of the best ways is to promote an event as events are about the experience and social proof.
(1)   You can do incentives. A 5-day challenge, a 10-day challenge. Announce an incentive at the event.
(2)   Get guest speakers for trainings. Your team get tired of listening to you… it’s natural when you are too familiar with someone.
(3)   Lead by example. People get excited when they watch you grow.
