Harness and Create Motivational Forces

To learn and evolve to a "New Best Level" try an "Open

Communications" structure. You and I, the people we interact

with, and all things stimulate unique motivational forces (a

feeling) in our being. In some cases the motivational forces are

stronger. However, before motivation comes the first step,

acceptance. Accept yourself and others to best serve humanity.

Acceptance is the mind of all enablers. It must be acknowledged

and received to go forward. Whether the deed is good or bad you

and I must first accept the condition in order to take a "spirit

enhancing action" to generate a "spirit enhancing result". I

speak, attend, and network at events, meetings, and conferences.

When observing someone express their expertise, opinions,

beliefs, and knowledge first accept the person involved, place

in time, and location. Make certain it is a safe place to be.

Those who:

Accept the agenda

Accept the networking

Accept the speaker

Accept there is an option for products and/or services

Accept there are activities

will be equipped to do what is best. Go in with a positive

mindset, "I'm motivated to make the most of this experience" or

"I can raise my level of play". Consider simply trying to be

"one of the best". Be a part of the dynamics, absorb, and learn

to identify, implement, or modify a "stimulating enhancer" or

"solidifier". Try this while viewing the agenda, networking,

connecting with the speaker, considering options and activities

to see you being taken to a "new best level". Bring it to your

daily life. Being able to identify the "stimulating enhancers"

and "solidifiers" will make a contributing effect to performing

at a "New Best Level".

Now, prepare to experience the second step, motivational forces.

When you meet someone, attend an event, view art, read a book,

or play a sport many motivational forces rapidly come to mind.

Some might be, good to see you, valuable, I like the setup,

independent research, for a specific purpose. Sure, research...

knowledgeable, motivational, actionable, useful, beautiful,

helpful, inspiring, uplifting, magnificent style and technique,

awesome play, an unyielding presence, my intuition is telling me

something, nice home, cool car, etc. These are all motivational

forces to experience and to receive more other steps are

necessary.

Step three, is being supportive/hospitable. In doing business

each decides, "Is this individual supportive/hospitable"? Be

supportive/hospitable to grow a trustworthy relationship.

Today, there is research available and more being pursued. For

research to make sense, it must be turned into step four,

independent research, for a specific purpose. Sure, research

shows most people remember what is seen and written. However, if

driving a car an audio cd is more advantageous. Will someone

switch to wanting to see and read a book while driving? Of

course not!

Once your independent research is completed, a shared/known

strategy, step five, is essential. Imagine being at work and a

team colleague requests an e-mail to be sent to the client with

the project outline and schedule. Naturally, this sharing

creates a common ground for the project team and client.

However, if a team member or client does not comprehend the

known strategy then only the process of gathering and sending an

e-mail is accomplished. I do not know of anyone who is paid to

send e-mails. However, if comprehension of the known strategy is

shared and tweaked as necessary, then it is much more valuable.

Albert Einstein said, "The only thing of real value is your

intuition". I would like to add "each must make everyone and

everything else valuable."

Step six is feedback/imagination. Many organizations have a

solid dividing line regarding feedback and imagination. If in

one, there is need for significant improvement. Observe

professional athletes and coaches. They are very encouraging

before practice, during practice and when fans are watching the

game. These individuals are paid millions yet they receive more

feedback than most workers and are told to use their

imagination. Allow and encourage others to give courteous

feedback and use their imagination to generate more prospects,

more customers, more referrals, and more business. Try closing

the feedback/imagination loop every time. For example, you have

been working diligently on a project and notice a package in

your chair. You open it and it's an award with a letter of

congratulations stating you will receive $1,000 as a bonus in

the next pay period. It would be a good idea to give feedback to

the award sender by simply letting them know, "Thanks [name],

for recognizing my work". This will stir their imagination.

Feedback/imagination is essential for relationship growth.

Step seven, knowledge, is the foundation. It might be discovered

purely on one's own, during a focus group, or the teachings of

an author's book. Keep in mind acceptance, motivation, being

supportive/hospitable, independent research, shared/known

strategy, and feedback/imagination enable knowledge.

Acceptance and motivational forces enable steps three through

seven. Motivational forces occur daily and create a bond known

as spirit. Being able to harness and take "spirit enhancing

actions" to generate "spirit enhancing results" brings more

motivation, more winning, and more growth. My dad told it best,

"simplify", "simplify", "simplify", "simplify". An "Open

Communications" structure can take your organization to a "New

Best Level". Validate the usefulness of the "Open

Communications" structure in your organization.
