The Essential Motivation Handbook Has A New Website

Written by on

motivation3DtransAfter recently launching our ebook on motivation, Leo and I have just put the finishing touches on our latest website (TheMotivationHandbook.com) that houses the information on the book, bonuses and generous affiliate program.  We’re excited to share it with you now and would love it if you’d go check it out for yourselves.  (Thanks to Daniel Richard we got a great head start on the site content.)

A Brief Back-story

This project (the ebook itself) was an inevitable outcome for Leo and myself.  Both passionately pursuing our best possible life, we’ve had a lot of experience with this sometimes elusive subject.  Motivation is something that is hard to nail down.  It’s one of those subjects that can be difficult to turn into a tangible topic.  Yet we feel confident that we’ve done just that, both on our blogs and the new ebook.

How To Be Endlessly Motivated

Written by on

motivationEDITOR’S NOTE: This is a guest post from Celestine Chua of celestinechua.com.

How would you gauge your motivational level? Are you constantly motivated, or do you need to keep doing self-talk in order to motivate yourself to get on with things?

What if I tell you that there’s a way to be endlessly motivated? What if I tell you that this is something everyone can do?

I’m a highly energetic and motivated person. Many of the people who have interacted with me before would comment on my incredibly high energy level. They usually remark with some tinge of amazement on how I can always remain so hyperactive and happy. One of my coaches even compared me with the Duracell bunny as a way of expressing how he felt about my high, endless energy levels. I have yet to decide on whether I like that particular analogy, but you get his point. Read more »

The Essential Motivation Handbook

Written by on

the essential motivation handbookMotivation can be such a vague topic when it comes to those in need of a boost.  What in the world is motivation anyway?  I often see individuals who are stuck in a rut, trying to find the drive to reach their goals, finding it hard to define this often elusive fuel for life.  But now your energy can be fully harnessed for the task at hand, without the distraction of finding the how and why.  With ‘The Essential Motivation Handbook‘ you’ll have all the tools you need to push past any obstacle that might be holding you back.

A Pair of Passionate Writers

Leo Babauta of zenhabits and myself have brought together our best efforts to write, what we believe to be, one of the best books on motivation you’ll find anywhere! After much collaboration and pulling together our best work on the subject, we put together a powerful tool for anyone in need of more drive, efficiency and effective habits.  ‘The Essential Motivation Handbook’ is your ticket to finally getting things done and moving past the mundane!

A Perfect Companion To A Best-Seller

You may or may not know this, but Leo is the author of a best-selling ebook on productivity called Zen To Done.  The reason it has done so well is because it actually does what it says it will.  People who read it actually become more productive.  Much of the time we purchase a product that says it will meet a need, but after we’re through, we fail to see the results advertised.  Well, Zen To Done does deliver and so does ‘The Essential Motivation Handbook’.

Now, for the companion part.  When putting this work together, Leo and I wanted to not only create a stand alone solution to your motivational needs, but a perfect companion to one of the best books on productivity out there.  The fact is, learning how to be productive is only half the battle.  You need the ability to harness your internal fire to actually make things happen.  That’s where ‘The Essential Motivation Handbook’ comes in, and it’s the combination of these two awesome books that will help anyone actually reach their goals and stop just dreaming of that elusive day that may never arrive.

Constant Reflection Provides Pinpoint Accuracy

Written by on

personal_reflectionThe last 8 weeks have been some of the most stressful, tiring, scary, happy and rewarding weeks of my life.  Our son, Tyson, was born 8 weeks ago to this day and brought with him a new found respect for sleep.  The birth was intense, the sight of a human being that was molded by our very own DNA, amazing, and the shock of having a new born baby, exhausting.

I’ve been out of commission, at least in regards to posting to this blog, but have been blessed with many great bloggers and friends who have helped keep the content flowing by submitting their own great work.  But now it’s time to get back in the driver’s seat of Motivate Thyself and share some of the new findings being a new dad has brought about.

How To Deal With Negative Feedback

Written by on

dealing_with_negative_feedbackAs human beings, we are affected by the feedback we receive from those around us.  Whether good, bad or neutral, the words we hear and the tone in which they are seasoned, can have a powerful impact on how we feel about ourselves and how we see the world around us.  From the time we first take notice of this double edge we call the tongue, we are keenly aware of its sting as well as its ability to uplift the somber soul.

Feeling the sting of a verbal attack

I recently received an email from one of my websites that was anything but positive in nature.  I was basically told, by a total stranger that had just laid eyes on my site for the very first time, that I was a worthless piece of @#$%.  This person seemed to go to great lengths to tare me down as quickly and effectively as possible.  I had been having quite a tough week and this was just one more stone that had met its intended target.
