EP105: Motivating The Unmotivated

Andy Albright hosted this week’s Alliance Activity podcast live from his office in Burlington, N.C. at The Alliance’s headquarters to talk about how you can motivate the unmotivated.

• Everyone is motivated!
  • People are motivated to do what they are doing.
  • What are you motivated to do?
• Be non-judgmental – the ability to not judge
  • Remember I’m not frustrated at them because they are not part of my success.
  • People are judgmental when they only have a few people. They are depending on their few peoples success to reach their goals.
• Art of Motivation – the art of leading someone to do what you want them to do because they want to do it.
  • You can’t lead someone who doesn’t want to be lead.
  • You already do this with people you care about

How to Motivate People

1. Avoid negative
   1. Fears and Threats won’t work long term.
   2. Most people do not know they are being negative, be a good coach and tell them
   3. Arrogance + Broke is a bad combination. Stay humble and keep learning
   4. Focus on staying in the circle of you – what you can control
      1. Get people to see what they can do in their circumstances – this is motivating
      2. When you say “If we or If this… I could succeed “ it demotivates people.
   5. Motivate yourself
      1. What motivates me?
         AA is motivated by “I want the people I respect to respect me, I want my wife and kids to respect me”
      2. If you are a short basketball player don’t talk about being short, talk about who did it, and if they did it being short then I can do it being short.
         1. When people begin to tell you their circumstances, ask them “Is there something a short basketball player can do that you have not done? Work on shots, footwork, etc”
         2. Talk about the basics not the circumstances
      3. If you call yourself a motivator but no one does anything after talking to you then you are not a motivator.
   6. White sheet
      1. Write down 10 things that you want in life
         1. Write them down as if they have already happened
      2. On the list of 10, what is the one thing that would change your life
         1. Start working on that
      3. Better questions to ask. Better your life will be
         1. Start listing deadlines and steps to get it
         2. Organize and do something every day to work on it.

• If it is the most influential, then go like a maniac

1. Planning brings the future into the present
