I Need Some Motivation for My Motivation

So I am beginning to understand that the hardest part about motivation is staying motivated. Have you ever sat in a meeting or lecture and had the greatest moment of clarity? Suddenly you were able to solve all of the world’s problems with the power of your mind. A dozen amazing business ideas began to unfold in your mind. You felt ready to conquer every giant that dared to cross your path, both real and imagined!

I recently had five days of these magical moments. I attended my very first Meeting Professionals International World Education Congress.  I had a great time networking with 2,000 of the best and the brightest in my industry.  I attended workshops that fit my business needs perfectly. By the end of the conference I had figured out how to move my company into the Fortune 500 by the end of the year.

But then something change. Yep, you guessed it…the conference ended!!!  Now I am back in my home office trying to make all of these amazing thoughts become a reality.  It only took a few irritating emails, hearing the word “no”, and a change in plans, to send me crashing back to earth. 

I am realizing that motivation is a moment by moment…day by day process.   I can’t live off of yesterday’s high.  I am seeking out today’s life lesson. What word, thought or milestone today, is going to help me stretch a little bit closer to my goal.
