Abilities:
1. Curiosity to understand
2. Ability to figure out things
3. Determination / Perseverance
4. Double shift / No week-off (Drive to succeed - Making work as play)
Techniques:
1. Life goals (An xls to track the list and track the things we want to do in life)
2. A 1 pager (Dr.Benjamin Hardy) of monthly goals and achievements
3. Daily planner of daily achievements (each day a few bricks on the wall)
Intent, Capabilities, Courage.
One needs all these 3 together to make things happen. Period.
Without Intent, but having the other 2, you are likely to do wrong or sub-optimal things.
Without Capabilities, but having the other 2, you are likely to crash and burn.
Without Courage, but having the other 2, you are not going to do anything about it.
Put effort to pull or push someone up in life
or
To leave people where they are.
The Dilemma occurs when you really want someone to succeed and want to push them to achieve things but they are not that serious about it and you are left wondering is it worth the time and effort to do this.
We all have goals in 3 categories - stated, unstated and undefined.
A stated goal could be buy a house by next year.
Unstated goal could be vague as in get healthy.
Undefined is something we have not even given a thought of it yet.
To achieve goals, there needs to be motivation.
There are different levels of motivation:
1. Determined by self motivation
2. Determined by external motivation
3. Work for pay (clear give and take relationship)
4. Voluntary (doing partially or half heartedly)
5. Needs nudge to do
6. Doing with push from other(s)
7. Doing after a threat
All goals or activities can be classified under these different motivation levels.
A comparison of the bar chart of the motivations against goals of a successful and unsuccessful person would be a contrast even with the same goals at X axis.
The level of motivation determines the success.
