Some thoughts on motivationWhat motivates you? Try making a list of the top six things. Now, look at your list. Do these things come from other people? If so, you are externally motivated. This means your desire to perform well in your job, and in other areas, is at the mercy of what other people say to you. Not a good position to be in. How can you change that so you are internally motivated? You will have to change your basic assumptions and perspective. It is a process that will take time. Don't begin by tuning out what other people say to you, as much of that is probably encouraging and/or instructive. Begin by looking inside and slowly changing your perspective. Do it in one area at a time, and roll it out over time. For example, do you get a good feeling when someone thanks you for getting something done on time or at least doesn't yell at you for being late? Then write this down as an internal motivator and make a point of scheduling your work so that you can get it done on time. Now you are internally motivated, measuring your success against a metric you set up and you control. You might find it a bit much to apply this across the board, so pick an area. In this example, the area you pick might be the weekly report your boss wants. Instead of waiting until it's almost due, schedule some work on it every day. Then when the due date rolls around, it's almost done and you have no problem meeting the deadline. You tell yourself, "I get the weekly report done on time. Always." And you make it so. Once you have that in place, you can look at another area. Maybe another job responsibility. Or maybe something in your personal life. Perhaps you just can't muster the energy to get your housework done. Here's where internal motivation makes a difference. You tell yourself that you will do a great job of tackling housework for one hour each Saturday. Not enough time to get it done, but that hour is your time to shine (and vacuum and whatever else is involved in your housework). You are internally motivated, because:
If you keep building your own program, here's what will happen:

Why should you buy posters or prints? Take a look at our selection. Some of these inspire and energize you, some provide information in a visually attractive way, some are calming, and others are simply beautiful. Then, of course, there are some radical posters for those of you who like to spice things up. Whatever your taste is, you can express it with the right posters nicely framed and strategically placed. Why not have a different theme for each room in your house? For very little money, you can personalize your home or office in a meaningful way. These also make excellent gifts to friends, spouses, customers, new customers, prospective customers, loyal customers, children, and institutions. Why not buy a poster, and then donate it to your local library, hospital, retirement home, hospice, or other place where such beauty can make a difference? In many cases, you can even take a tax deduction for your gift. OK, that's why you should buy posters. But, why should you buy posters or anything else from us? We have been in business since 1997, for one thing. We're not a fly by night outfit. Here are a couple of pages you can view to put your mind at ease: And remember, it's not really "about us." Our business is about you. The customer. Without you, we wouldn't be here. And we take that to heart. |

instead of buying your customers (or friends) health-diminishing junk food gifts or something they'll just toss in a closet, give them some great art they can put on their wall. But know what it is they really like. Sending what you like might not go over so well. To know what the intended gift recipient likes, just casually touch on things in conversation. For example, you can ask this person, "What's your favorite animal?" or maybe "Of all the animals on the planet, which one impresses you the most?" Maybe nothing will come of that. But if the person gushes about dogs, then you know a dog poster is a good idea. If that person raves about border collies, then you have the exact poster subject you need to send the perfect gift. Whales? No problem there either. But maybe the person is a wine enthusiast and you're not. Rather than send a bottle of wine that will probably disappoint, you can send a wine poster that won't disappoint. Maybe this person loves Led Zeppelin. Send a poster! Posters can be wonderful gifts, or they can totally bomb. The secret to getting it right is to listen to the other person's comments about his or her interests. |

Mindconnection sells posters via affiliate links. So, we don't actually handle the posters. We've been in business since 1997, and have tried several poster and art programs. We've been extremely satisfied with the selection and customer service provided by All Posters, which is now part of Art.com. Mindconnection employees have bought these posters personally, and our company has bought them for various clients because they just make quite excellent gifts. One poster in particular was an astoundingly beautiful photo reprint of an elephant. It looked striking in its frame. |
