This week we take a look at what is needed to succeed when things look bleak. One can not wait on others for things to get better, we each must become self motivated and take charge of our lives. No self help guru is going to put food on your table, that is your own mission.

Join us as we discuss looking back into our lives and developing our own story. How did we get where we are. Did the self help industry point us down the wrong path or at least a path not suited for us as individuals. Or did our own lack of self motivation cause us to make some wrong choices or worse yet no choices. Is the answer to self motivation and success sitting on our bookshelves, lost among a hundred other books never to be found?

The second step of our journey is a scary one. The first step of any good self improvement program must be taking a look at where you have been. Not dwell on it, not obsess over it, not use it as an excuse but just see what have you done in the past.
See what is not working and do not do that again. Remember that quote, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome.”
So if we are to get a glimpse of why the self help industry falls so short, we must also look into why we fell short. Yet this must be done in a positive way, almost in a form of self motivation. I believe self motivation will be a major factor in our pursuit of creating a podcasting mastermind and improving our lives. Listen enjoy and please leave you comments.
