I’ve trained with some of the best coaches on the planet during my 20-year sports career, and
again when I competed in the 2008 Olympics.
But when I wanted to start my own company, to share my knowledge about motivational
psychology and training with others, it wasn’t as easy as I’d thought it would be.
Launching a new business is not easy. You have to give up the comforts of a stable paycheck to
delve into the unknown, an unpredictable abyss. A lot of things keep us from making the leap—
things like fear and insecurity. And one thing above all the rest: motivation.
When I looked back on my days as an athlete, I understood what was different. I remembered
what (or who) made me push myself even when I didn’t want to. The difference was, as an
athlete, I had structured days and a coach to report to. Structure keeps us focused and a coach
keeps pushing and challenging us.
Thankfully I passed this stage and I founded Onbotraining, an online coaching service that helps
people achieve their goals. I decided to collect the lessons I’ve learned along the way and to
share them with others, like you, striving to better themselves.
So, here are my 10 best tips for achieving anything you want in life.
9. Plan.
Know your three steps forward. You do not need more. Fill out your weekly calendar, noting
when you will do what and how. When-what-how is important to schedule. Review how each
day went by what you learned and revise what you could improve.
You lack motivation not because you are lazy or don’t have a goal. Even the biggest stars, richest
businesspeople or the most accomplished athletes get lost sometimes. What makes them
motivated is the curiosity about how much better or faster they can get. So above all, be curious,
and this will lead you to your goals and success.
