Monday Motivation: Installment 29

I know I just posted a Steve Jobs motivational video a few weeks ago, but the man knows how to motivate!

 

I really identified with the below video, where he explains that a big “secret” to his success was the fact that he simply asked for what he wanted!

 

I have found this to be equally as true. I remember when I was a sophomore at Evansville and I really wanted a chance to teach a weight-training class at the fitness center. The prior instructor had just left and they were going to take the class off the fall schedule.

I asked the fitness center director if he would let me teach. He was hesitant, because I was young and he didn’t really know who I was, so he said he would let me know. I don’t accept that as an answer for anything.

 

So, naturally, I asked him every time I saw him.

And after 2 weeks or so, I finally got the answer I wanted and he put the class back on the schedule. It turned into an awesome opportunity that allowed me to improve how I taught in groups and helped me make a positive impact in peoples’ lives.

 

You have to be aggressive in going after what you want and you can’t let yourself come up with scenarios telling yourself how it will never happen. Whatever your goal, find out who you need to speak with to help reach that goal, and don’t stop until you get you’re a firm answer to your question. People are usually a lot more accommodating than you would think.

 

Enjoy!
