In this episode, #1 Bestselling Author and Highly Acclaimed business & Entrepreneur Expert, Mel Abraham looks at how we can motivate people.

PROUD

• Positive Impact: Having a positive impactnot just on the team member but on those that are around them so that they are magnetized and attracted.
• Recognition: People want to be appreciated and recognized. When you care personally about them, they produce at great levels.
• Outside: As much as they want a paycheck, people want to know that what they are doing is affecting others in a positive way.
• Unifying: Ask yourself what you unifying cry is which can attract people in an inspirational way to mutually drive the mission and purpose that is there.
• Developing: To inspire people, they need to know that they are developing. You need to give them a place to feel safe, grow and develop their skills.

The Pride Cycle

• Anticipation: A nervous anticipation is there when there is something new coming about.
• Energy: Anticipation brings with it an electrified energy of excitement which brings you in the job.
• Commitment: The next thing that you do is commit that energy to the process as you move forward.
• Action: Once we make the commitment, we can make it happen intentionally to get the action behind it. Once the action is put in play, you will see a lot of things.
• Results: Now you get the results and they may or may not be what you are looking for. But know that your choices in business aren’t terminal.
• Reflect: We then need to reflect on what happened—whether it is something that we wanted or not. If it is what we wanted we can expand and escalate it. If not we need to make some changes.
• Recognition: We need to recognize what happened. Even if it a result that wasn’t our goal, we need to recognize the team members for their successes. Look for things that went right.
• Adjust: Finally, we need to adjust it and tune it; and the cycle continues.
