Better Blogging and Prospecting… with Lady Gaga

Ever sit down to write a blog post or call a prospect, only to find that you’re uninspired, unmotivated and ‘just not feeling it’?

If you’re blogging as a part of your business, you’ve probably got some kind of marketing plan and blogging schedule in place – at least a posting frequency (if you haven’t, consider it – you’ll see a marked improvement in blog traffic with some kind of a regular schedule in place)

If you’re in an MLM or Network Marketing business then you’ll know that ‘I just wasn’t feeling like calling anyone today’ simply ain’t gonna cut the mustard.

Whether it’s an article you read, or someone you’re speaking to, anything which exudes passion, and infects you with it’s enthusiasm is far more likely to make an impression and elicit a positive response.

Nobody will want to join your business if you sound bored and uninspired when you speak to them. You won’t gain any customers for your products either. And if your blog visitors read between the lines and find your heart’s not in it then guess what? They won’t retweet, share or comment, nor will they be inspired to return to see what you have for them the following week.

If you’re anything like me, you won’t make it to the end of every posts you read – some entice you and engage you to comment and click further, others just feel flat, dull and lifeless – even if they’re covering a subject you’re interested in. And you’re certainly not going to enter into business with someone who doesn’t come across as passionate about what they do.

So the question is, how to inject a dose of energy into your work when you’re not feeling it at the time?

Well – you can’t really fake it, so the answer is an instant state changer, something to give you a lift or shift in the right direction to put yourself in the right state for whatever it is you need to do.

You have exactly what you need right in front of you! (and maybe elsewhere in the room as well). Turn up your computer speakers, stick in a CD, pull up a fave tune on YouTube, or plug in your iPod (or whatever’s your preferred technology) and get some music on.

Music is one of the most powerful triggers there is for changing our psycho-emotional state.

Depending on the state you want to create (and personal taste of course), you’ll listen to something different. In fact, it’s so powerful that music acts as an ‘anchor’ allowing us to re-experience powerful emotional and psychological states connected to the moments which that particular piece of music has been ‘anchored to’ in the past.

Need to feel more energized and up-beat? – Stick on something that gets you pumped up and triggers feelings of power and confidence.

Want to improve mental clarity? – How about some Mozart or another classical composer? (Classical music has been scientifically demonstrated to enhance problem solving faculties and creative thinking abilities)

Writing an emotionally engaging blog post? - Try listening to something that inspires you and touches your heart.

The tunes below are three that I happen to have played recently to put me in the right state for work that needed done – they may or may not be your cup of tea, either way I’ll have something to listen too while I reply to your awesome comments below!

Don’t forget to tweet and Share this post with your networks, and leave a comment here – I’d love to know what gets you ‘in the mood’, and what other tools or strategies you have for getting motivated!

To your Abundance, Freedom and Success…
