Motivation

What motivates you?   It's a question I am asked often and sometimes find it hard to articulate. I think I am motivated internally, knowing the hard work and discipline that I have had to put together to achieve the results that I have, and change and transform my life.

But motivation can come externally and comes as a surprise. I received an email last week, from Geoff Jowett, the founder of Bodytrim. He had sent all of his Top 10 Bodytrimmers a general email, inquiring after our welfare and letting us know that he thinks often about our achievements and the times he has enjoyed at our BT Top 10 weekends celebrating. This email gave me a lift, to think that a man, who is in the middle of new product launches and the general business of Bodytrim, can spare the time to ring me.

It took me over a week to reply back, due to the pressures of time in my life. The email was motivating enough for me to realise just how successful I have been and not to "slip" back into a way of life that could threaten my health. Thanks Geoff.
