I had the fortunate opportunity last week to be a part of an incredible graduation and celebration for 39 administrative professionals graduating from our Star Achievement Series® who embarked upon this journey that started 3 years ago. Yes, I said 3 years. I was so impressed with these individuals who took 96 hours of training consisting of 3 levels of learning over a 3 year period.

There are times throughout our life when we want to accomplish or do something but for some reason, we just aren’t motivated. Don’t you hate when that happens. The hours and days pass and you aren’t seeing any progress, you get frustrated and disappointed. When we are not motivated, discipline and commitment are what help us push through. You do not have to accept not reaching your full potential because your motivation is wavering! There is an ebb and flow to all things, but that doesn’t mean you should throw in the towel.

Help! I’m Not Motivated

Feeling a lack of motivation to achieve your goals?

How do I achieve my goals when I’m not feeling motivated?

I hope you had a good weekend. I have been prodding you since the beginning of January to have BIG Thoughts and then set BIG Goals. Hopefully, I got you really excited about it and you have dedicated time to moving forward.

However, I also know you are human and, like me, just aren’t motivated! We have great intentions and even start our project or set out on our path with tremendous energy and “can-do” attitude.
