About The Book

One of the biggest challenges we face today in business and in life is staying motivated to be at our best for more than just a few days at a time. Every time a setback occurs, it is tempting to let it affect our outlook on life and diminish our excitement about our dreams as well as our willingness to take action on our goals. Motivate THIS! gives you the tools you need to discover increased productivity, greater enthusiasm, and new levels of success. Rather than allowing circumstances, events, and people to drain your energy and dampen your mood, you will learn techniques for taking control of your life in such situations and forging ahead in a State of Feeling Good. The Common-Sense Success Strategies offered in this book will enable you to:
  • Develop greater resilience to bounce back from life’s challenges
  • Cultivate a positive mentality attentive to and grateful for the good in your life
  • Improve your focus and commitment to achieving your goals
  • Enhance your “humor insights” so that you learn to laugh in difficult moments
  • Understand the importance of work-life balance and make choices that contribute to a greater overall degree of happiness
  • Reignite your passion for your personal and professional pursuits
  • And enjoy yourself on your journey toward success!
The action items and reflection questions at the end of each chapter will help you implement the Common-Sense Success Strategies and retrain your mind to think more positively to attain your goals. Filled with Rizzo’s unique brand of humor, insightful stories, and mindfulness techniques that can elevate your level of motivation, help you overcome self-criticism, and transform your mindset regardless of your circumstances, Motivate THIS! is an indispensable tool for maximizing your personal and professional happiness.
