What's Motivating You - Today?

What's Motivating You - Today?

Pause for a moment… Hopefully you are reading this on a Monday.

Just wondering: “What’s motivating you?”

...Yes, it’s Monday – the beginning of the business week.

...Yes, it’s Monday – and everyone expects you to be sharp and on the case.

(but pleeease slow down …you’re making me giddy!)

True Confession: My Monday’s can be a slow start. But it doesn’t worry me anymore.

I’ve spent a lifetime trying to rev up my slow-start-Monday. And it doesn’t work.

(do you know how exhausting it is …trying to look busy?)


A Little Secret....

I’ll let you in on a little business secret.

What works for me is …re-thinking & re-imagining what ‘Monday Success’ looks like for me. And it might work for you on your 'slowest' day of the week too.

Success begins once you understand what’s happening on the INSIDE. Someone hid all the answers in the one place they knew you would never look!


Motivation Re-activation Strategy

Take a couple of slow deep breaths and observe:

?? What emotions are colouring your decisions—are they helpful or heavy?

?? What are your thoughts whispering about you and the work?

?? What’s your body telling you about how safe you are?

?? Are your actions aligned with the plan?


Each of these questions tap into your emotional intelligence circuit. You can’t see the circuit boards, but they wire information and wiz data around your mind and body.

The result of all this activity? Well, it eventually shows up as "Your Daily Business Life." So by bringing awareness to these areas ...you get the opportuntity to turn a negative situation around quickly.


FINAL 2 STEPs - Ask yourself :

“How would I like things to be? And

what can I think, feel or do right now to achieve it?”


Yes, it’s Monday. But notice you can still get more done by doing less.

(And I’m a bit annoyed no one told me this sooner!)

How Often Do You Look Inside For The Answers?

I have a new offering for the end of 2024, and the lead into 2025.

It's a 90 minute TLC deep-dive conversation with me.

Because how often do you take the time to ‘look inside’ for the answers?

A little bit of 'Tender Love & Care' goes a long way with my clients. I support entrepreneurs with navigating 'Transitions’ - weird feeling of 'Loss' – and negative thoughts around 'Change' in business.

If you want to put 2024 behind you - create a new 2025 strategy - and clear out the old mental and emotional headtrash that no longer serves you…

Hello Joy, Such a powerful reminder to pause and reflect before diving headfirst into the week. What motivates me? It’s the quiet moments of alignment—when my thoughts, emotions, and actions feel in sync with the bigger picture. As Proverbs 16:3 says, “Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.” Thank you for guiding us to think deeper about how we start our week—it’s not just about moving forward but moving forward with purpose.
