Is it possible to motivate yourself to do something you don't enjoy doing?

Let me illustrate with my own example.

I'm not a natural networker. I'm no good at schmoozing and talking people into doing things I want them to do.

I've been told that I'm too upfront and honest for my own good. I know its true.

So how did I land up in network marketing?

Well, I always wanted to be a stay-at-home mom AND continue working.

Now network marketing OFFLINE is not exactly my cup of tea.

My "warm market" would probably be cold to my advances.

Attend meetings? But I thought idea was to AVOID awful commute!

If I called a friend over, it would be to chat about college days - NOT try to "introduce" them to "my new business."

I'm simply not comfortable with many of methods that are used to "recruit" people.

But I'm still managing to do a decent job of building my organisation.

I also manage to keep myself motivated enough to WANT to spend every waking moment on my business.

How do I do it? I found something about business I loved - internet!

Coaching is better method, because it’s individualized, and if it’s a good coach, they’ll be asking you lots of questions.

I would ask you things like this:

1.When DO you manage your time well. 2.When you are in charge of project, how do you manage your time? 3.If you had 8 hours of uninterrupted time – no phone, no meetings, no knocks on door – how do you think you would manage your time? 4.When you are planning a vacation you’ve waited for all year, how good are you at managing your time and being organized? 5.How would you tell someone else to manage their time?

Barring such things as ADHD, you’d probably discover that you know how to manage your time under certain circumstances, so it’s fallacy that you don’t know how to manage your time, and a group seminar is particularly unuseful to you because it will never bring this point to surface. Nor will it tell you how to apply strengths you have to situations where your time becomes “unmanageable.” Bear in mind that your time becomes unmanageable not because of lack of skills on your part, which brings us to second fallacy. The second fallacy is that you can be taught to manage your time because it’s rests on false assumption that your time can be managed. You can only manage yourself in reference to your time.

In today’s world where change, communication and information are accelerated, and responsibilities are exponential, there is no one “way” to manage time.

The skills you will need to rely on are Emotional Intelligence competencies, and they will cure problem, not treat symptom.
