KEY TAKEAWAYS Motivation is a key to success because if we lose sight of what motivates us then ultimately our business is not going to work. Motivating yourself and your team is essential, whether you're expanding, growing or just surviving. Without motivation, nothing gets done. The reluctance comes into business when you start a company. In the beginning, you have a passion for solving a problem but a reluctance to lead and manage, to motivate others and to be in a position of being noticed. It’s important to identify what it is that’s preventing us from stepping up and leading. The motivation division is thinking about what we want to achieve. Firstly you have to set a direction for your company. Secondly, think about how we want to do it using your skills, knowledge and values. Lastly, is why? Asking yourself why you’re on this direction and identify what’s motivating you to keep going. There are three relationship motivators. The Defender, which is around security and stability, The Friend, which covers the belonging feeling you get when you’re part of a team and The Star, which is about recognition and being noticed. Then there’s three achievement motivators, money, influence and responsibility and expertise. BEST MOMENTS “The biggest mistake business owners make is that they lose sight of their thoughts for growth or that they never really had a vision.” “I think you've got to have a clear vision for your business everyone's got to know the part they play in allowing that vision to come to fruition.” “I've seen companies getting de-motivated because they don’t have shared division in place across the whole management team.” “When you think about leadership and motivation, motivation has got to be at least 50% of leadership.” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.thereluctantleader.academy/quick-start-guide CONTACT METHOD Linkedin:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/leventyildizgoren/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/yildizgoren IG: https://www.instagram.com/leventyildizgoren/ ABOUT THE HOST Levent Yildizgoren, author of 'Good Business in any Language', is an award winning entrepreneur, localisation professional and a PRINCE2 qualified project manager.
