02 – Who inspires you?

Motivation can drop off quickly if your project becomes stale. Even when you’re passionate about your goals, day-to-day activities can become tedious, so keeping yourself motivated is important.

One way to do that is to find inspirational people and follow their teachings or example.

Your exercise today is to research people who motivate you! These don’t have to be famous motivational speakers (although they very well may be). For inspiration here are some examples:

• Traditional Motivators: Tony Robbins, Zig Ziglar, John C. Maxwell, Brian Tracey
• Online Motivators: Mel Robbins, Seth Godin, Ray Edwards

…or anyone that inspires you regardless of their profession. Athletes like Muhammed Ali inspire some people. People who have overcome great odds and who inspire others etc…

Find people who inspire and motivate you. List (at least) 5 motivating people you discover this week. In my case, my grandchildren inspire me to be the best me I can be.

There is a special spot in your planner to consider this question each week. Look for the line that says: “I am inspired by…” Be sure to fill this out and consider all those special, inspirational people in your life.
