“Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice” Steve Jobs

Think Big.

There is the story of how immigrant Jan Koum went from being on welfare to becoming a Billionaire. The WhatsApp co-founder worked as a janitor, dropped out of college, learned to code, landed a job at Yahoo and then quit to travel, co-started the mobile messaging app WhatsAPP and sold it to Facebook for $19 Billion and he is worth over $9 Billion at the time of writing my book “Secrets To Selling Software” available on Amazon Globally.

If you are going to think at all, THINK BIG!

Inspiration vs Motivation

We often use the words inspiration and motivation in sales, business and sports. Here is a brief clarifying definition for each.

Inspiration:

  • Inspiration is the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative.
  • Something that makes someone want to do something or that gives someone an idea about what to do or create.
  • A force or influence that inspires someone.  
  • The quality of being inspired, especially when evident in something.
  • A sudden brilliant, creative, or timely idea.

Versus

Motivation:

  • Motivation is the process that initiates, guides, and maintains goal-oriented behaviors.  
  • The reason or reasons one has for acting or behaving in a particular way.
  • The general desire or willingness of someone to do something.

Here’s to you being both inspired and motivated!
