What Motivates Others and How to Motivate

What Motivates Me & What Motivates Others?

To motivate your Staff, you need to create a climate of self-motivation, that encourages personal development and growth. If you have hired the right people, they won’t be hard to motivate. A team of pro-active, motivated, self-starters, puts you right out front, to achieve your goals and financial success. However, you will still need to invest regular time into motivating and encouraging your staff.

Why is motivation so important? For the same reason, that you need a complete body wash every 24 hours! To keep yourself clear from the daily contamination of your environment and be fresh, clean and feeling great every day!
