How do you motivate yourself?

Lead by example, it is not what you say you do, what I follow, but what you do, what I watch and listen to. Don't say it, but show how to do it. Be enthusiastic, spontaneous, express your true self and put your person and your achievements into perspective. By setting the example yourself, you keep your part of the deal. This agreement is laid down in the contract that you have made with your employees or your customers, written in part, but for the most part unwritten. 

Goethe says: 'Before you start, there is: the hesitation, the doubt, the reservation, the possibility of going back, the inefficient of the expectation and run-up. Once you have started, whatever company or initiative, there is only one elementary inalienable truth: the moment that you commit yourself to start. It kind of switches overall providence in that unfolds in tangible and intangible help, in insights and in real support that without the start and the initiative will not would have arisen that you never thought or hoped it would to happen. Whatever you want, do or dream, you can start it. Get started has genius, power and magic. Therefore, start right away, start fearlessly, start now.'
