Business Coaching Tip on Increasing the Intensity of Your Purpose

Building the Intensity of Purpose

There are a number of steps I recommend as a business coaching and sales coaching professional to those clients taking my leadership training when they are looking to find their purpose or mission statement. Although there are a number of very effective exercises to help people find their purpose, I usually start the business coaching session with a coaching skill called Building Emotional Connection.

You Need to Feel It

Most people have lost the art of connecting emotionally to what they want as a form of internal motivation.  We are so use to someone or something else externally motivating us, whether it is a boss or financial obligations, that we don’t know how to motivate ourselves internally.  Every great leader in sales or business will know how to motivate themselves internally.  This kind of motivation is frequently referred to as being driven.

Being Driven is the Key to Playing a Bigger Game

Without drive, a business owner, sales person or leader will be unable to sustain enough motivation to make their business successful; making the big differences they want to in the world.  Being stuck in a life of mediocrity is hard to live with and stay with.  Being driven is easier and generates energy that will allow you to play a much bigger game.  Playing a big game allows you to reach the purpose that has been driving you to succeed.

People will follow someone with a vision who is driven to make it happen.  To start building your vision and passion follow these steps.

1. Set your mind on a vision that is worth chasing after with the mindset that failure is not an option.  It must trigger an emotion that is so powerful that you are compelled to act on it.
2. Write your vision down and spend time exploring the emotional benefits you gain by achieving it every day until you know what it feels like to have it accomplished.  Embrace the emotion and allow it to build over time.
3. Build the emotion. With this emotion rooted inside you, you will find you are so motivated that nothing can stop you.  Make sure to create a habit of building the emotion every day.
4. Engage – Now you’re driven and success is only a little work away!  Make a plan and start step one with commitment.  Commitment is what makes everything work!

Business Coaching – Increase Your Motivation and Your Business Success

Intensity of Focus Increases Motivation and Business Success

All business and coaching professionals that focus on leadership development understand the importance of motivation in any success.  Motivation is the power or fuel that enables us to accomplish great things in your life and business.

We’ve all experienced the driving force of a young child with a desire for something they want. The intensity of their focus can only be described as a fixation. When they have their mind set upon or fixed upon something we all know how hard it is to change their mind.  Children will stand their ground, stomp their feet and resist your direction in defiance until they get what they want. The resistance to change is enormous.  This desire or intensity of focus is really the power of passion that is alive inside of ever child.

Singleness of Purpose

What if we as business owners and sales people could develop our internal leadership with such a burning passion that it overrides all normal balance and bios?  What if it was already inside of us waiting to be released?  We could accomplish the impossible!  Nothing could stand in our way.  So why don’t we naturally think this way?

What usually stops us is our awareness that such extreme behaviour is not socially acceptable to get what we want.  We have been cultured and trained to live, work and think within boundaries that society calls ‘normal’.  These preset parameters dictate how we live, what we can expect and our understanding of success.  However if we choose to, we can stir our own internal passion to give ourselves new resources to move our business and sales forward accomplishing new success. It is this singleness of purpose that can give birth to a burning passion.

Making the decision to stretch yourself and break the barriers that exist on your life is a huge step.  It will take some thought, persistence and support.  The power that can be released will fuel your growth towards any success you choose.  Making the choice is the first step, persisting through the resistance is the second and living out your passion will give you everything you hoped for, success!
