Make it Happen Secret #5

10 Tips to Fire You Up You When You Don’t Feel Like Working Hard

Connect yourself with new people. We always draw energy from those around us. Get out there and connect with new people in your industry. Get a new perspective and move to a circle of people with positive and exciting energy who represent your future and not your past. Often, people from our past hold us back. You need to break free. You are the average of the five people that you hang out with the most. So pick carefully who you spend your time with.

Read one hour a day. Reading is the quickest way to success. If one hour is too long, start with 20 minutes and do it for a couple of weeks to develop a habit. The most successful people in the world (Bill Gates, Elon Musk) attribute their success to reading.

Keep on learning. Subscribe to some new industry newsletters, read some new industry magazines, find some new podcasts, read the weekend newspapers. Attend talks, conferences and any opportunities in your industry. Promise to learn something new every single day.

Find a mentor. I get asked a lot if I had a mentor when I started my business. And when I say no, they look at me in disbelief. Did you do all this without a mentor? I never had a direct mentor, but I did have a lot of indirect mentors. These are people that I admire and I read everything about them. Biographies, books, articles. Mentors can be authors that you admire and they mentor you through their books. Don’t fall into the trap of saying, ‘I really want to be successful but I heard I need to get a mentor and no one will take me!’ Babes, we are the ‘make it happen’ team, we don’t have time for excuses! There are lots of indirect mentors out there: find someone you can relate to and get all the material on them, and hey presto, here is your mentor!

Rewrite or edit your to-do list. When was the last time you took a hard look at your to-do list? Split it into three: 1. things that can be done within 24 hours; 2. things that can be done within a week; 3. things that can be done within three months. There may be things that aren’t relevant any more, you may have already completed them or your goals may have changed. Keep it fresh and current.

Reward yourself when you finish a challenging piece of work. It could be anything from going to a new restaurant, to having a bubble bath that evening, to buying a new accessory.

Declutter your workspace. Go through all paperwork and get rid of what you don’t need any more, recycle, delete old emails and organise your folders, refresh your pen holder and get some coloured pens and pencils, clean and tidy your desk and cabinet. Your workspace will feel inviting and ready for action.

Listen to your favourite music.
