"how to secure cleaning contracts" Establishing your clientele can be most time consuming and intellectually challenging part of office cleaning business or any other business. There are many issues and approaches to consider, and like many other challenges in life, there is no one single way to go about it. Everyone will have their own methods for acquiring business that will work well for them, but most businesspeople will agree that taking a multi-tiered or multi-pronged approach is best way to go about it.

As a "Motivation Trainer" for over 20 years, I have researched subject of "Motivation." It is talked about a lot, but not very much is taught or written about it. It seems to be a word that eludes us. I often here people say: "Can you motivate me?" or "I need motivating." or "I've lost my motivation."

Part of challenge in understanding concept of "Motivation" is to understand what it means. We seem to have a distorted definition of what it is. Since we know that words have positive or negative energy connected to them, it is important that we know what words we are saying and what those words mean.

Let's start our journey into understanding "Motivation" with a workable definition.

Motivation is:

1. Making a Choice 2. To Take Action 3. For a Result 4. Whether You Feel Like It or Not.

"Motivation" is about what you choose, not how you feel. The first myth about "Motivation" is that it somehow has something to do with how you feel. So if you feel like exercising, you are motivated, and if you don't feel like exercising, you aren't. If you feel like working your network marketing business, then you are motivated; if not, you just aren't motivated. If you feel, like going to church, you are motivated; if you don't feel like it.... And as you can imagine, there are hundreds of scenarios that we could mention.

Once we accept a "new definition" of "Motivation," we can move forward to using it as a tool in our lives to help us achieve results.

Starting with 1. Making a Choice.

Everything is a choice. Choice equals results. Good choices = Good results. Bad choices = Bad results. From time you are born, until time you die, you will literally make hundreds and hundreds of choices. Every choice has a result. The caveat is that you may make a choice today, but not get result today. Results are still coming even if delayed. To stay motivated, we start with what choices will we make for specific results in our lives in every area: Physical, mental, spiritual, social, financial, family.

2. To Take Action
