You are going to find out how card games can be applied to business and you are going to learn very valuable lessons from a world competitive card gamer. He has been playing cards for 22 years and he is travelling around the world to compete in many tournaments.

Travis is one of the top successful members in our mastermind Daily Business Hustle.

In magic you cannot be sure that what worked last week is going to work next week. Also, what worked this week won’t necessarily work last week. You have to plan a few steps ahead or someone else will do a better job than you.

In Magic The Gathering you are meeting players from all around the world all the time. You can do all the testing yourself or you can have access to smart people who can tell you what to do, share their results with you and save you a lot of time.

There is a misconception that in magic we want to be very secretive and we do not want someone to steal our ideas. The reality is that we share our ideas a lot, because if more people can see what I am doing, more people can see the mistakes that we make and we will be able to avoid them. You are in much bigger danger of having the wrong information than other people having your information.

I am trying to leverage as much people as possible. I have a bunch of groups and have different people working on different projects. It is like you are in a mastermind where you can take advantage of other people’s knowledge that can help you improve yourself faster. We share our vision for what has to be done. That reduces our workload. We achieve better success in the same amount of time.

You can do everything yourself in business, but when things get complex, why not use other people’s advice. You have mentors and coaches who can save you a lot of time and effort by showing you things that work and that have already been tested. You also have employees and assistants who can take the workload off from you. They will save you time implementing things.

There is a misconception that the idea is everything. Some people spend so much time figuring out the best idea, protecting their ideas and getting too attached to it. In fact, the best players are executing what other people are doing. They recognize someone else’s idea and execute it in the best possible way. They see what has potential and what might work.

When I launch my coaching program I used a proven business model and it saved me a lot of time. I did not have to reinvent the wheel.

The automation of the business is extremely important. For my social media channel I have robots posting things regularly. You have to create systems that you can repeat and behaviors that you can automate. It is not possible to play in a tournament 12 hours a day for several days. You do not have enough fuel in your brain to make all the decisions.

Automating as many things as possible and dedicating your thinking to the big picture is a tremendous time saver. You have to constantly looking for things that you can automate. That will help you focus on more important stuff and be more productive.

I learned from business a lot of the things and strategies that I use in magic, it is hard to tell which of my ideas came from business. I can tell for sure that I have achieved a balance between business and Magic The Gathering. They both helped me be more successful in life. A lot of gamers are very good in business in terms of focus and obsession.

5 successful entrepreneurs discuss WHAT IS motivation, HOW TO get motivated and how each of them view the importance of motivation in their lives and business.

We go deep into the topic of motivation to help you succeed in business and in life. Great panel discussion about motivation today, check out the video! :)

In this video you are going to find out how motivation impacts our lives, how important it is and how it can change what we do in a good way.

Motivation is the power that activates the engine of success, and moves you to act and do things. It is a vital thing that pushes you when times get hard.

Lack of motivation and lack of enthusiasm are two of the main reasons for failure and of living a mediocre life. People lacking in motivation and enthusiasm are usually passive, blame everything and everyone...

Entrepreneurs are people who do not know what lack of motivation really is. They are people who make a change in the world and motivation is the inner drive that pushes them towards acting and achieving big things in life.

No matter if you are into sports or you are an entrepreneur working on your business, you have had days when you do not want to get up from bed and work or train. That is the time when motivation plays a huge role in what we do. It forces us to achieve the things that we could not even imagine that we are capable of.

You definitely need a vision of what you are going towards. Vision is really important. Having a goal that you are aiming to achieve is a great thing. There will be hundreds of obstacles that you may face, but you have to learn how to overcome them.

Having a mentor can generate a lot of motivation in you. Seeing what your mentor has accomplished in his life, how much success he has and how he is living right now can motivate you to work harder to achieve that. He can give you reasons of why you have to do what you are supposed to do. He can motivate and inspire you. He can give you courage, so that you can believe in yourself and work as much as possible.

With a mentor, people feel the organizations are taking a genuine interest in them, and what they are trying to achieve. This is highly motivating.

A mentor can show you the way you have to do things. However, a very important thing is that you should not ask him so many questions. He can show you the steps you have to take. The rest is up to you. You have to figure it out yourself. The interaction between you and the mentor has to be based on trust.

A good mentor will tell you why when it is important to tell the “why”. Sometimes the why is what the student does not want to hear. If you find out the “why” yourself, you will be much more pleased with yourself and motivated. The best change is when the student thinks that it was his idea and he believes that he has achieved almost everything by himself.

Of course, it is better the student to be aware that the mentor helped him, but thinking that because of his choice he was able to accomplish his goal is a really great thing.

There are two meanings of motivation:

Some people think that motivation helps you and pushes you to put a lot of daily effort towards the bigger goal. The more motivation you have, the more work you are going to put in and the more success you are going to have in your life.

The second group of people thinks that motivation is only a feeling that people tend to focus too much on. It can mislead you to think that you can achieve more than you are capable of. That is why people do not get enough work done.

Everybody has his own opinion and can interpret the meaning of motivation in different ways.
