Is there a store where I can get some "oomph"?

Author: Dan Miller - 48 Days & Glassbox Media August 18, 2023 Duration: 37:54

What do you do when you feel like you're doing more thinking than doing. When you know you're a good person but somehow when you were created the batteries were not included. Are there specific steps a person can take when feeling unmotivated?

Question: Is there a store where I can get some "oomph"? Dan,I wonder how to get motivated. I'm making six figures in a respectable job but in my personal life I'm not really even trying to reach my goals.

While we don't have a physical store for oomph, we delve into the importance of setting clear objectives and focusing on personal goals in order to find the drive we all seek.

As you may know, there are times when we find ourselves doing more thinking than doing, feeling like good people without the necessary motivation "batteries." We discuss 13 strategies to combat these feelings and find the spark that propels you forward.

PLUS, we share three resources to help you get and stay motivated:

1. My upcoming FREE webinar on August 31st: 5 Steps To Turn Your Dream Into Reality
