Wealth, I have learned is not something you pursue, but something you attract by person you become. My challenge to you is to become that person that attracts wealth, not just financial wealth, but wealth in relationships, family, faith and all, and people will beat a path to your door to give you their money even while you sleep.

This is not about how to make money alone. It is about going to work on yourself by adding value to yourself. This is about how to make money with whatever knowledge that you have. It is about becoming knowledgeable about how to package knowledge in your head and selling it to people.

People will pay you good money to loan your brain, and if you are able to loan your brain to millions of people at same time, even while you sleep, that translates to even bigger opportunities. The test is in having staying power to learn.

Jim Rohn once said, "We go direction we face, and face direction we go." For those who don't know Jim Rohn, he is one of greatest business and inspiring minds of our time. My question to you is, where are you facing? When you wake up tomorrow morning, are you going to be facing a future filled with hope and excitment, or a dead end job that you hate and despise? Are you one of those millions of world,s masses traped in a dead end job, who wake up every monday morning with a heart attack, still living under illusion of building wealth with a corporate job and retirement plan? You can change all that starting today. If you are here and have read this far, I beleive you have already won half battle. You have shown that you have staying power to succeed. You have shown a determination to win. You can attract wealth by person you become and all that you need now are nuts and bolts to stitch all this together.

Are you afraid of greatness? You should not. William Shakespear, once said, "Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness trust upon them." Remember, if you never go out on a limb, you will never get fruit.

Keeping an employee “in loop” is something else that is important to motivation. When an employee feels he or she is not up-to-date with what is occurring in company or their department, that is a message to employee that says, “You are not important.” That’s not kind of message that increases motivation. Keep information flowing to each employee; let them know what company is doing and direction it is taking.

Stay flexible. Make an absolute effort to ensure your employee is not tied up in red tape. If an employee is not able to solve problems with a degree of flexibility because there are too many company rules hampering common sense progress, an employee feels nothing but frustration. Motivation is not built on frustration.

Constant check-in with higher-ups when working on a project undermines an employee’s confidence and willingness to think for themselves. It also deteriorates motivation.

Make sure plenty of sufficient resources are available for an employee’s use. Motivation cannot thrive if an employee is constantly faced with having inadequate resources to do job.

Create a fun and stimulating work place. Let everyone address each other on a first name basis or have a “casual dress day”. Encourage employees to create a work environment that is as comfortable as possible and not so office-like by bringing in personal pictures and things such as plants, for example. This will only promote creativity and, in long run, increase motivation.

Communicate with your employee. Find out what interests them and what doesn’t. Speaking with an employee frequently shows that you care about them in more ways than simply wanting them to keep up with productivity. This will increase an employee’s motivation as well.

POINTS TO REMEMBER

Keep these points in mind and motivation will have a chance to soar:

* Employee contribution important

* Recognition from an employer a must

* Retaining respect of peers and colleagues

* Keeping employee informed

* Stay flexible and make sure employee can avoid as much red tape as possible

* Constant check-in with higher-ups only leads to micro managing and lack of motivation

* Make sure an employee has sufficient resources available to them

* Create a fun and stimulating work environment

* Make sure you communicate

Keeping these methods of compensation in mind is what it takes to understand what it is that drives your employee to want to do a better job. They must WANT to do a better job or work they do will never be as excellent as it could be. If you are ever in doubt as to what it is that drives your employee, simply ask, either in a group meeting or one-on-one. In fact, asking an employee what it is that motivates him or her is a good idea right from start. Then, you can always be sure of what to provide.

All in all, make sure that money isn’t only thing you can offer an employee to increase his or her motivation. If it is, then as soon as money is better somewhere else, your employee’s motivation will definitely increase…working for other company.
