Are you always looking for motivation? So, how do you keep yourself motivated during the face of so many problems? Hi! My name is Yasser Khan and i'm a CEO of Yasser Khan coaching where i teach agents how to make more money live the life that they want and get more yes without the BS so you know if you are asking yourself the question that you know how you know i don't feel energized you know how do i keep myself motivated and what's the answer what what the secret to keep you know keep yourself uh very very highly motivated and keep yourself very ambitious right so you know here here's the thing about motivation right if you're looking for motivation every single day and you know you're questioning yourself you're second-guessing yourself you know whether you're doing the right thing or not or whether you know are you producing the results and you know a lot of the time right you know lack of motivation have has to do with lack of you know income lack of results that are coming in and you know if you lack motivation right that is the classic sign of feeling burnt out and that the reason that you know many agencies berno is because they work too hard and they're the only one doing every single thing and that is why you know that leads to a downward spiral of you know not being very motivated and feeling like quitting and you know thinking that you know so many problems and you know you got not many uh love and you know and you know every everybody has that day everybody has a bad day right you know even i sometimes i have bad days too right when things don't seem to be working the way they should nothing works right and it looks like a bad day and you know nothing seems to be going the way you wanted to you know making money for example you're not closing deals for example right so the thing is that you know uh that that thing about motivation right so when you know when you don't when all these things are not happening to you your motivation naturally goes down right and so how how do you keep yourself motivated how do you keep your energy going up and you know there are specific strategies right and the number one thing that you know helped me personally with my motivation is you know has to do with perseverance right and you know it seems counterintuitive it seems you know not that common sense but you know your motivation is also tied to delayed gratification right so the thing about many people right now is we live in a hyper connected world and we want instant results we want instant gratification right so you must realize that you are unrealistic for the long term right i assume that you are so when you are in you you are in it for the long haul right you don't get easily you know demoralized by you know temporary setbacks right and seriously that is how you uh improve professionally that's how you know that's how that's life by the way that's life right so you know sometimes you have ups and downs in terms of motivation you have ups and downs in terms of you know your energy levels and you know certain things you are doing so the thing is that when you are in the in it for the long haul you are in it for the long term right then you you must keep doing the same thing you must you know keep persevering keep doing keep doing things that you know ultimately hopefully times will improve and you will definitely do it better if you you know time to change you know bad times don't last forever right so okay you know here's the thing about me right you know i i went to Bedok on secondary and the thing about the term secondary that taught me that had a big impact on me was its motto and the motto of Bedok secondary all those years ago was success through perseverance right and you know when you when you're doing something that they taught me something very important and that you know built my character in a very very good way and the thing about success is i realized that you know success is not easy it's hard right you will cry along the way you will get wounded along the way right and you will feel like giving up you will feel low motivation you know just go and ask any entrepreneur just going at any successful businessman out there and he will tell you yeah he faced those times too right if you look at you know motivational speaker you know all those you know success stories out there they look like you know instant success but they were not they took years to build themselves they took years to build a business and you know business is something that it doesn't you know happen just like that it's not you know that's not how life works right even though we want instant gratification but right now a lot of the youth a lot of young people are very very confused they want things fast that the world is moving at 250 miles an hour but they think that you know if they're not making money fast they're not you know living the their lifestyle that they want to live then they feel left behind and they feel demoralized the thing is that your time will come you just don't know it yet you know everybody has different levels of energy everybody works at a different level right you know the amount of success that you will have in in life will come to you as long as you put in the effort you put in the work you put in the you know what it whatever you're supposed to do right then the success will come to you it's just that you know if you give up too early if you give up too soon then seriously all of that will have been totally wasted it would have been you know raised and wasted seriously and one of my mentors he said something that had a big impact on me as well and he said that you know many business owners right they give up just before just before they could you know achieve the success that they wanted and for example you know there's this story about seven up you know there's the competitor to coca-cola right so seven up is just uh it's a it's a soft drink right and the story goes that you know the the entrepreneur started all those years ago and he came up with one up and he didn't succeed and he didn't give up and he went to school up and that didn't succeed as well but he came back again and he started three up that did didn't work either and you know no sales and the business didn't go up and then he but he didn't give up and he came back and settled four up five up six up and until six up he yeah he felt like giving up but he didn't he start he stuck to the end and suddenly he came up with even up and that suddenly you know became overnight success to other people but if you look at it he wasn't an overwhelming success he had to go to one two three four five six up all the way right and he didn't give up what if he had given up at six up right and then he wouldn't have earned all the income all the seriously all all the the success that came from 7 up right so don't give up stay keep doing what you're supposed to do right keep improving keep yourself you know surround yourself with you know same as a group of people who are on the way up or who are succeeding or top producers keep learning from them put yourself in a similar group as them and i mean that is how you keep your motivation up and you feel you know when you when you mingle with these kind of people when you get a mentor for yourself they will keep you on the right path they will tell you that they face the exact same thing and this the smartest way the shortest way is to get a mentor because the mentor will be personally invested in you and he will coach you for success and you know he will tell you even though you're not motivated to do something he will kick your ass he will tell you to go and get it done right and when you do something because of what he said you will find that yeah you get results faster and then you know when you taste success it's all the most sweeter because you didn't give up right and then the motivations once you reach that level of success is seriously it's a different level and that is how you you know keep yourself motivated even though things are not going well even though everything seems to be you know not working never give up success will come to you through perseverance right and that you know when you do that like when you stick it when you stick to it you won't need that much motivation because you are motivating yourself right and when you keep keep doing it keep doing it keep doing it you will become a more ambitious person right so that is how you keep yourself motivated.
