Entrepreneurs value self-discipline, among other motivation practices. This is because, as a business owner, you are solely responsible for yourself and your success.

Your ideas, decisions, work ethics, and commitment to your goals should set you apart from your employees and serve as a way to motivate them to work even harder and better for your business.

Even when you have set an important goal, having the required self-discipline can be challenging to achieve this goal. This is why many entrepreneurs work on having better self-discipline due to the many benefits it provides, such as:

• The ability to persevere
• Power to achieve your goals
• Ability to make even better decisions
• Builds self-control and inner strength

Even with the benefits that self-discipline provides, improving your self-discipline distinguishes a target-driven entrepreneur from a regular businessperson.

Over the next 8 days we will explore 8 ways to improve your self-discipline that can help you be even more successful.

So, tune in tomorrow for the first one.

Many simple and effective resources get created when I'm coaching my one-on-one clients.  An issue or situation comes up and I create a resource tool to help them get an even better result.  In this example, my business owner coaching client wanted to better hold his support team accountable, so I created a performance assessment tool. This enhances regular communication with each team member about their specific performance of what they are responsible for (whether they are internal or virtual).  It lets the team member feel good about their progress and it helps the business owner feel more confident about what is being done and at what level of performance.  You will benefit, just as my clients have, from utilizing this simple and effective performance assessment for every member of your team. Customize it for each person on your team based on their job description. More specifically, each team member should customize it for themselves, and you approve it. Schedule a meeting every 90 days to review progress in each area you are measuring.

Today we are talking about Idea #7 of the 7 ideas to Engage and Motivate Your Staff, which is to Create a Stimulating Environment.

It’s okay to have a little fun once in a while. 

You will find that 30 minutes once a week engaged in some sort of competitive game, competition, or quiz will repay itself 10-fold in productivity by increasing employees’ self-worth and therefore their motivation.

Schedule games for the end of the day, so your staff can leave the office with a renewed sense of well-being.

Another alternative could be “casual dress Fridays” or the opportunity to leave work 15 minutes early thrown in from time to time. 

Apply any or all of these 7 ideas we have been talking about over the past 7 days into your business to help increase the motivation of your staff, so you can experience even better results from them. They will appreciate you thinking enough of them and their abilities to implement these in your organization.

Today we are talking about Idea #5 to Engage and Motivate Your Staff, which is to 

Communicate Openly and Honestly.

Team members who are kept “in the loop” are more likely to remain motivated than those who have no idea what is going on.  You want to always be clear on what you expect from them and what they can expect from you. A great leader always maintains open channels of communication, so his or her staff feels comfortable about discussing any relevant issues.

Today we are talking about Idea #4 to Engage and Motivate Your Staff, which is to Lead by Example.

A good leader must illustrate to his or her employees the correct procedures and processes required. If you want your staff to arrive at work on time, then you will need to follow suit. If you want to hold them accountable to doing their job, you have to be accountable. If you want then to dress and behave in a certain way, you have to show them what that looks like. Lead constructively by being a great role model, so your team knows what is expected of them.

Today we are talking about Idea #3 to Engage and Motivate Your Staff, which is to Chart a Career Path.

The majority of employees have a perceived career path they would like to follow. 

Not only is it vital as a leader to be aware of the staff member’s vision for the future, it is also important to clearly define how management views their career path. The qualities and expectations required by the employee to achieve their career goals must also be clearly defined.

Today we are talking about Idea #2 to Engage and Motivate Your Staff, which is to Share Your Vision.

Employees are seen to be more motivated when they believe their contribution is making an impact on the overall success of your organization.  They have a better idea of how they fit in and their role plays in your organization when they understand where you are going and how you plan to get there.

So, it is important to share your company’s mission statement and vision with the entire staff. By allowing them to share in any improvements and successes your company experiences, you ensure they feel like an integral part of your team.

Today we are talking about Idea #1 to Engage and Motivate Your Staff, which is to Reward Immediately and Frequently.

In a study, one of the primary influences that affected the motivation of employees was recognition and reward. It was shown that small rewards offered frequently and as soon as possible after the performance had the most impact.  So, the gift of two tickets to the cinema was more rewarding than the promise of a promotion at some indeterminate time in the future.

Sarah gets to work at the same time every day. She sits down at her desk and starts doodling on her desk pad, playing computer games, surfing the internet, and texting friends. Unless she is interrupted by a phone call or correspondence that requires her urgent attention, you know she will spend the bulk of her day doodling on her note pad, playing computer games, surfing the internet, and texting friends.

So why is it that the only thing that appears to motivate Sarah is the clock ticking over during the last 15 minutes of her office day?

Sarah is not unlike hundreds of thousands of other employees. She is, or has become, one of the “unmotivated masses”. 

Luckily, the success of your organization isn’t dependent on the singular input of employees like Sarah, but what needs to happen to generate a positive and motivational environment for all your employees, Sarah included?

As a business leader, the most important lesson you can learn about motivating staff is that what motivates you may not necessarily motivate Sarah or any of the other employees you are responsible for.

Motivation means different things to different people. As a business leader, it is an integral part of your role to observe and learn what inspires and motivates each and every member of your staff.

However, having said that, recent psychoanalytical studies on what influences employees to become engaged and proactive yielded a defined methodology that proved to be universally effective.

Over the next 7 days we will explore 7 ideas for How to Engage and Motivate Your Staff.
