Motivation seems to appear when, after performing a certain action, there is some kind of reward that creates pleasure or satisfaction to the individual who receives it. The reward as such may be manifest inherently, meaning that the mental and emotional satisfaction prove sufficient to cause a repetition of the action later. It can also be extrinsic, according to studies; and that means that money or praise coming from others is the key to making you repeat the performance. Consequently, motivation is also of two kinds intrinsic, or inner, and extrinsic, or outer. As it may be obvious to you already, intrinsic motivation has to do with your own person and what you want whereas the extrinsic type has to do with external factors or people. The intrinsic type of motivation is also divided into two more subcategories. One is the intrinsic motivation that relies on enjoyment (let us take a hobby for example) while the other is the one that is based on obligation (like performing a task at work that we want to carry out very well only for our own sake and not for anyone else’s).

All in all, motivation surely defines the way we move through life. This is the factor that has made us walk for the first time, that has helped us in learning how speak our native tongue correctly, that has pushed us forward in school years and university studies perhaps, that finally sets in motion all the life areas from job and career pursuit to children and family providing. Motivation can take many forms and is found in many things.

If you’ve always had a confidence issue, then this is the article for you. This is condensed advice from personal coaches and psychologists who specialise in goal getting and target realisation in individuals. This is a veritable gold mine of advice in attaining great self confidence, and hopefully by the end of this article you would have been able to use the advice listed to become a more confident individual, and change your life for the better.

Change for the better. Make that decision that you always wanted. Take the first step to making those changes and stop procrastinating. The excuses you use are only as good as the person making them – this means the buck stops with you. Achieve a keen mental focus and you will find that as you make the effort to change, things will naturally come to order, and you will be more confident of your chances for success.

Find out what is important in your life and what you need to do to make things better. Don’t be foolish and think you can wing it. Write down your goals or priorities, and work out a proper schedule or time line with which you can track your progress. Set dates so you know how far or how slowly you are coming along. Set small goals that lead up to your big goal so that you won’t be disappointed easily, and you’ll find that it will do wonders for your motivation towards success.

When setting goals or targets, the key to avoiding disappointment is to be realistic. Don’t shoot for the stars when you know realistically that you’d have a better chance at something less lofty. There have been many instances where people set too high a standard for their goals, only to be crushingly disappointed when things go awry. It is important to set targets that you can see and is within both your physical and emotional capacities to achieve. Remember that there is no harm in dreaming about the ultimate success, but at the end of the day you have to come back down to reality and work towards smaller goals based on your current abilities. Work your way up slowly if you have to.

Find a role model. While this may be hard for some, it is quite good if you can measure yourself up to someone that you really admire. While this does not mean that you should emulate them entirely, to the point of becoming a carbon copy of your role model, what you need to do is to fashion yourself based on their ideals, their determination, the X factor that allowed them to soar and reach for their long elusive goals. The one mistake people make is to fashion themselves after celebrities. Don’t. Instead, choose someone who’s more relatable. It could be your parents or someone in the office or in the same industry as you are.

Visualise. See yourself successful. I think that is one of the most important things when it comes to building up confidence. This is the only time when visualisation in your mind can help you achieve a goal faster. See yourself in all the glory you want to be and that is just the emotional urge you need to push yourself towards your targets.

Listen to advice. Along the road to success, you might meet people who can give you invaluable advice that will help you to achieve your goal that much faster. But learn how to filter the good from the bad. Some people are just there to use and abuse you, leading you astray and making you all the poorer for it. Once you can identify these people, avoid them like the plague.

With these 7 simple tips for a more confident you, anyone can rebuild themselves and change their lives in a matter of days.

Self belief and believing that you are ready for success, that your deserve success and that
success will be yours is vital. Surround yourself with positive reinforcing images and sounds.

We heard “you are judged by he friends you keep” a lot of times. Now, the recent recent research reports of medical studies that show that having fat friends can make you fat.

Now take some time to think about it. Overweight people normally like to eat pizza (for example) and normally all like to eat out with their friends, so if you have a group of overweight friends you are more likely to eat out somewhere less healthy.

So if you want to be a success then you should try and mix with successful people in business. For example, you can mix with them in Clubs and weekend meeting places. Always stay away from naysayers, moaners. Avoid persons having negative  thoughts.  Believe in yourself and surround yourself with others who believe in themselves and believe in you.

Have a positive attitude and surrounded by like-minded people will yields success.

How does the millionaire mind work?

Our minds work very similar to computer hardware. Before a computer is able to perform a series of arithmetic or logical operations, it must first be programmed and installed with software files. The ability and usefulness of the highly sophisticated hardware can be severely compromised by the quality of software.

Similarly, whether we have an average or millionaire minds are highly dependent on the files that are installed in our minds. Therefore, it is important for us to ensure that our minds are installed with the wealth files. Only then, we can differentiate whether we are thinking like the average and consciously reprogrammed our minds to think like the rich.

Remember, our minds are controlled by ourselves. We can choose to think in whatever ways we like as long as we are happy.

Are you ready to transform into millionaire mind now?

I am pleasantly surprised to discover how my mind used to be installed with the very old outdated traditional file taught by our teachers that we have to work hard to be rich. I used to think that, base on individual’s capacity, there is always a limited amount of money we can earn. The more money that we are after, the more time we need to trade off with money. The more time we are trading off with money, the lesser time we will have for ourselves. The lesser time left for ourselves, the lesser time we can spend with our love one which will lead to unhappiness either with ourselves or the love one. So, to stay happy, I am not willing to trade most of my time with a lot of money.

I was very wrong in the past! Extremely wrong!

This book is very helpful to recondition my thinking tremendously. It has changed the ways I see things very differently in life especially removing all the excuses that I used to create for myself. It helps me to refocus on executing my plan to achieve my F-I-N-A-N-C-I-A-L freedom.

I sincerely hope that the highlights from Secrets of the Millionaire Mind below are useful to change yours too.
