I am about to tell you a story about my first business success and the #1 thing that drove me to the success that I enjoyed, motivation pictures. It all started when I was 19 years old, about 6 years ago.....
I was young and stuck in a bid because I had just signed a lease for a very nice apartment and 2 days later, I was fired from my job because of my driving record. I was stuck with a car payment, rent, utilities, and I did not even have furniture yet. All these bills and no money. Plus I did not really have any marketable skills to go out and find a new job with.
I interviewed at about 5-6 different companies and was told I did not have enough experience for the position. Then, it all changed. I answered an ad in the newspaper and was hired by a sales office. The product was perfume and cologne, and they specifically went out to businesses to sell the product. It was very hard and scary work, but it was all I could find.
This was where it all started. One of my trainees taught me a trick that kept me motivated and kept me out selling. He taught me to use motivation pictures in order to stay motivated. He taught me to go through magazines, newspapers, and surf the web to find motivation pictures.
Motivation pictures at pictures of things that you want. These pictures are things like a new couch, a new car, or anything else that motivates you. I took a picture of a $499 couch (motivation picture #1) to a copy shop and had it blown up to a poster size. Then, I put it on the wall where I would have put it if I really had the couch.
I also added a savings plan that I typed up, right above it. Every time I came home with money I would look at my savings plan and place the amount I was able to save into an envelop in my safe. I set up my savings plan by percentages so that it could be adjusted for any amount that I made. Of course, I made sure rent and bills came first.
This is how motivation pictures work. You can do this with a picture of a new car. You can put it in your current car so that you have to look at it everyday. When you put motivation pictures in a place where you will always be reminded of why you wake up and go to work, you will be motivated constantly to reach for that goal.
