Summary
How can YOU, as a leader, motivate 'the hobbyists' on your team so that they begin seeing themselves as real business owners, and start building their impact and results?
Here's the reality when it comes to leading a team: You're going to have different people with different levels of motivation and commitment.
The vast majority of your people struggle with fear and overwhelm. They keep busy with passive activities that don't get results, and when they do take action it's haphazard and inconsistent.
They're not committed or motivated to grow. Frankly, they're not treating this as a business at all – they're struggling hobbyists.
So how can YOU, as a leader, motivate these people to see themselves as real business owners, and start building their impact and results?
On this week's podcast episode, I'm going to share with you a fail-proof method that I used in my business and that I now teach to my students ...
… that not only motivates and encourages even the least serious to commit to their own growth, feel great about their accomplishments and build their personal integrity so they learn to trust in their own success …
… it also makes EVERY team member feel welcome, valued and able to WIN, no matter what their level of commitment – which is KEY for retention and your team's long-term growth!
I promise you, when you implement this method, your whole team is going to be crushing it in no time!

| 0:30.1 | how to lead the less motivated people that are on your team. |
| 0:37.7 | So look, if you've got a team of any size, whether that be 10, 100, 10,000. |
| 0:45.0 | Here's what you've probably figured out by now. |
| 0:47.7 | You're gonna have different people of different levels |
| 0:50.9 | of motivation and commitment on that team. |
| 0:55.0 | And where this gets a little frustrating |
| 0:57.2 | is eventually we find out the inconvenient truth |
| 1:00.1 | that the vast majority of people that are on our team are never going to be as committed or as serious or as |
| 1:06.5 | motivated as we are. It's only going to be a small percentage. So the question remains, which is this. |
| 1:12.8 | As a leader, what can we do to try to help motivate the ones |
| 1:17.9 | that are less inclined to be motivated on their own? |
| 1:22.4 | What can we do? What can we institute as a leader to try to motivate more people? |
| 1:27.6 | And this is one of the age-old questions of leadership of our profession. And I'm going to hopefully give you some insight and an |
| 1:35.4 | answer and a strategy specifically. I'm going to share with you a specific strategy |
| 1:41.0 | that I used to implement in my business that we teach to our students that I promise you will help you dramatically in the area of motivating your team. |
| 1:52.0 | So the inspiration for this episode actually came from a coaching session that we did inside of my advanced level leadership program, next level leadership, one of our students, Tammy, asked a question and presented |
| 2:07.1 | a situation she was dealing with in a business that I thought was a really good and important |
| 2:12.2 | topic. |
