Driven to Succeed
October 2nd 2006
I recently read the article Driven to Succeed that featured TV host Montel Williams and it shared how he is driven to succeed and he’s always been an overachiever. The article is an interesting piece on Williams, who is an author, actor and entrepreneur, and who continues to be motivated each and every day to not only succeed, but make a difference.
Williams, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis – an incurable, progressive neurological disease – in 1999, says “I have MS, but MS does not have me.”
He takes 70 pills each day, works out rigorously, and likely is an inspiration to many. I hope you’ll take time to read the article.

Secrets of Motivation
July 3rd 2006
Some time ago I read “The Master Motivator” by Mark Victor Hansen and Joe Batten.
It’s one of those great short reads I encourage managers to add to their reading list.
Here are five gems Hansen and Batten layout in the book to inspire motivation: 1. “Clear expectations (goals and motives) requested firmly with caring confidence and consistency.” 2. “Base all requests (not orders) on known and suspected strengths and on the emphatic awareness of needs, desires, and fears.” 3. “Insure that full training, mentoring, and support are scheduled at all times.” 4. “Continuous, confident, and caring feedback.” 5. “Expect the best, being firm and caring.”
If you haven’t read the book, I encourage you to order a copy today. Even if you consider yourself a master motivator, you’re likely to take away several other gems besides those above.
