Whether you're an experienced entrepreneur or just starting out, there's nothing more essential to success than keeping yourself motivated. Here are 10 thoughts that motivational guru Omar Periu shared with me a while back:
無論你是一位教訓豐盛的企業家或者才剛起步，沒有什么比堅持自己的動力對勝利更為要害。激勵巨匠奧馬爾·佩魯前陣子與我分享了十個設法：
1.Motivation means choosing to do what you'd rather not do, which is why unmotivated people never get anywhere.
動力就是抉擇做你不想做的事件。這就是為什么缺少動力的人素來沒有取得任何進展的起因。
2.Most people want to improve their situation but few take responsibility for motivating themselves to make changes.
大多數人都盼望改良自己的處境，但很少有人為激勵自己做出轉變而采取行動。
3.People can always validate the decision to avoid unpleasant work. Example: "Today, I'll get organized; tomorrow I'll make cold calls."
人們老是能為自己回避不高興的工作找到借口。例如：“今天我先打算一下;來日我就進行電話傾銷。”
4.Motivation comes from managing your mind and your emotions. Fail at this and you'll live a life of quiet desperation.
能源來自治理你的思維跟情感。假如不能做到這一點，你的生涯就會平庸而失望。
5.The most depressing and de-motivating sentences in the world usually begin with the phrase "Someday, I'll..."
世界上最懊喪和沒有動力的話總是這么開頭的“總有一天，我會……”
6.If you find yourself thinking negative thoughts, go someplace quiet and replace those thoughts with positive affirmations, prayer or meditation.
如果你發明自己情緒消極，到一個寧靜的處所把消極的情緒變成踴躍的確定主意、祈禱或者冥想。
7.To get big results, ask yourself big questions. "Why do I want to be a millionaire?" is far more motivating than "How can I make a living?"
為了獲得宏大的目的，你要問本人一些巨大的問題。“為什么我想變成一個百萬富翁?”比“我怎么才干生存下去?”鼓勵人心多了。
8.Don't set goals that just excite you; set goals that scare you a little bit. That way they'll strengthen your "motivation muscle."
不要僅僅設定能恰好讓你高興的目標;設定的目標要能讓你自己有點懼怕。這樣，這些目標就能讓你的“動力肌肉”更加發達。
9.What holds people back is fear of failure, but if you don't take action, you'll fail by default, so what have you got to lose?
讓人們撤退的是對失敗的膽怯，然而如果你不采用舉動，你就默認自己失敗了。所以，(行為吧!)你又有什么喪失呢?
10.You can have whatever you want in life, but nobody is going to give it to you. Everything of value must be earned.
你能夠得到生活里你想要的所有，但是不人會雙手送上。有價值的貨色必定是通過盡力取得的。
