It was once said by Zig Ziglar that taking a bath is done daily as the benefits of the bathing only lasts for a short time as we all get dirty again - this concept applies to motivation too.
Everyone is bombarded by so many things day in and day out that it becomes quite easy to become de-motivated and loose the fire to move on with SFI. Motivation only carries a person's activity for a brief time then once motivation is gone, people will loose their momentum.
Reasons to loose motivation will vary from person to person but the primary reason for losing motivation is that it was never fulfilling - in other words meaningful. Once this is the case, it is important for leaders or team players to assist each other to find the motivation once more which has fulfillment and not just temporary pleasurable outcomes.
If the leader or team mate is quick to detect that the motivation is simply temporary it is important to immediately step in and help that fellow affiliate to find their TRUE purpose with SFI so that actions that are performed in their SFI business become about feeling fulfilled and not just temporary satisfaction.
Keeping one motivated can be done by using may strategies but it is important to consider if the purpose is strong enough and realistic enough to keep the affiliate moving forward and upward.
Motivation may simply mean:
reminding fellow affiliates their purpose to join SFI by sending a TeamMailer message or an E-card
share stories from other affiliates that give some insight to the struggle that was defeated to become successful
share personal quotes that resonate with you that may help others to stick to it when things get tough
encourage the affiliate to talk directly with others to be socially fed by the energy of others successes
review the "purpose to join SFI" with the fellow affiliate as this may need to be changed due to life circumstances changing
it is never too late to find the spark of motivation to move action forward. So even though internal or external motivation factors for the affiliate are important, I personally believe the following is the upmost important factor necessary to help others who have drifted due to motivation levels dropping:
TEAM ATTITUDE - this is a critical component to an affiliate's success. Does the team share compassion, collaboration and mindfulness - if TEAM ATTITUDE is the issue then the motivation review process needs to happen with others (leaders included).
