Welcome to the Game Changer Life.

I'm Dave Anderson.

I want to talk to you in this episode about seven ways to motivate yourself.

We're actually going to have four dos and three don't. Seven ways to motivate yourself. You know, the word motivate has number

of definitions if you look it up. The one I really like is stimulate enthusiasm in doing something.

Okay. Or for doing something. So you stimulate enthusiasm, and we're talking

about stimulating it within yourself. You're not waiting for someone to come along and

stimulate enthusiasm inside of you, but you becoming more self-reliant in creating your own

enthusiasm, not waiting for the hug, not waiting for the coddling or the

pep talk or someone to wind you up. That's part of what a game changer is. You know, you remember

in my upcoming book, Unstoppable, I've talked about this before. I discussed this in some of my

classes, but we have four types of performers that I'm going to outline in that book. And we've got the

undertaker, the caretaker, the playmaker, and the game changer. And one of the prime differentiators

between the four groups is that the game changer just doesn't require the external motivation

that the other groups do. Some of the groups are waiting around for it. Some of them pout if they don't get it. The game changer, if you give them a pat on the back, you give them some affirmation, you try to motivate them. It's like, great, thank you. That's nice. And they're thinking to themselves. But it's really not necessary because my motivation comes from within. And so to get into that game change your life, you have to become more self-motivated.

You've got to stop waiting for things to change, waiting for someone to come along,

waiting for something to happen to motivate you. That's passive and it's no way to go through life.

And eventually it'll turn you into a victim. All right. And so this is a great time to talk about

how to motivate yourself. And let me just

remind you real quick. The book Unstoppable will be out September 25th. It's getting here really

quick. Many of you have even sent me messages on LinkedIn or through Twitter or through my email.

And you're telling me, hey, I already pre-ordered the book on Amazon.com, which you can.
