The Pain of Motivation

Most people are motivated by pain. 

The pain of getting away from some place, either physical or mental, yet....at the same time we try to avoid pain.. 

Is it any wonder why most people procrastinate on doing the things that will ultimately give them what they really want… 

I say what they “really” want and not what they tell others they want. 

Here’s an example, in marketing you have to look at what people buy and not what they say they want to buy. 

Can you see the difference, one is what people “think” the other is what people “do”, and if people think they might be caused any type of pain (from themselves or the thought police telling them how to think) then they will avoid the action to avoid the pain. 

That includes Telling People What They Want to Hear.. 

This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it just shows us that action will always speak louder than words. 

We aren't inspired by stories of people who have got something of value by getting it easy, we are inspired by people who have to sacrifice and go through pain to achieve what they want… 

You can’t get away from the idea that pain is motivating and avoiding it is certain to avoid the results you want. 

One way to motivate people is to let them see what will happen if they dont take action, how things will get worse and how doing something is better than doing nothing (for an example of this just look at The Arsenal defence). 

If there is something you’ve been putting off just list all of the things that could happen if you did nothing…Then list what the worst thing that could happen if you gave yourself permission to try it out. 

You’ll be surprised that some short term pain might stop a lot of long term pain. 

The Golfmob is not easy, if it was, the results wouldn’t be as powerful, and most people shouldn’t even try it because they will not have the willpower to stick to it, but a select few will have results that can't be compared.

Let me know if you want in
