Even the most ambitious and motivated leaders can find themselves in a slump. Slumps are dangerous obstacles and you can’t let yourself simmer in a slump. Motivational speaker, author and all around example of someone with a Champion Mindset, Tony Robbins, offers 16 tips for getting out of a slump. I’m summarizing the first 8 in this email and the last 8 will be in my follow-up email – so stay tuned!
1. One Goal. Do you have a lot going on and getting nothing done? Trying to do too many tasks can lead to a slump. It’s hard to focus on accomplishing anything when you try to accomplish too many goals at once. Instead, pick one goal and focus on it completely. Start with a small goal you can accomplish in a few days. You’ll pull yourself out of a slump once you accomplish this goal and then the rest will follow
2. Find inspiration. YouTube is a fabulous source of inspirational videos. Start your day reading or watching something inspirational.
3. Get excited. Have you talked about your goal with someone? Writing it down, reading it aloud, visualizing and speaking about a goal will keep you out of slump-mode.
4. Build anticipation. Have you thought about the build-up for achieving your goal? It’s not unlike a build-up for a product release. Robbins offers a twist to this. Instead of starting a goal “today” postpone it. Yes, postpone it. Set a Start Date for beginning the process to complete your goal. Watch how you get excited about starting it. This excitement will carry you forward.
5. Post your goal. Write out your goal in big words and post it. Use Facebook, Pinterest or Instagram to share your goal with fans and friends. Too scary? Start by printing out the goal and post it to several places you frequent in your home. If you can present the goal as an image and print that out that’s even better for visualization.
6. Commit publicly. See above. Or if social media is too public, just share it with your family, a friend or colleague. Then provide updates to your progress.
7. Think about it daily. This helps to motivate and remind…just in case you forget. While you think about the goal, visualize completing it. Then add a little more to it. For example, if you want to make enough sales over the next 30 days to buy a new computer then add on another component or some software.
8. Get Support. This can be the same people with whom you shared your goal, or online support forums, community groups, etc. You aren’t alone.
