Thinking Your Way To Inspired Action

It's not every day that you will find me up at 5:30am and sitting at my computer in my study.

Yet...today, I seem strangely inspired to make an early start before I have to get Katie ready for school, and before little Skye starts to demand 100% of my attention.

Inspiration often comes from the most unlikely of places!

Perhaps it's also because I'm a little psyched-up because I've set myself a challenge.

You see, in September, I'm speaking (as Gary Smith!) at top Internet marketer Yanik Silver's Underground Online Seminar - perhaps one of THE highest profile internet seminars this year.

And...I've decided that I'm going to do a completely new presentation about my Adsense success than the only one I have done previously back in February.

Not only that...on the night before the seminar, I've decided to arrange a Master Mind meeting with the participants of my limited Adsense Mentor Program - at which I've already told people that I will be sharing some of my newest ideas and programs that I'm working on.

Thing is...many of these ideas are either still in the concept or 'spec' stage!

Funny thing though...I also KNOW that I will deliver on my 'promises'. No question in my mind.

And...whether you are in the UK or not, if you are remotely interested in coming to the Underground Seminar - then YOU will be invited to my closed-door pre-seminar Master Mind meeting, too.

I know many of the speakers (and a lot of the attendees, to!), and can certainly say that it will be a great seminar.

Which leads me onto something that has fascinated me for some time...

How is it that one day you can be fired up - yet the next just not being bothered to do anything?

Even if you love what you do like I do!

I've given this some thought recently as, over the last month or so, I have been a lot more creative than usual...and a lot less interested in just doing stuff for the sake of doing it.

Sure - external influences like friends and family play a part in this.

Anyone who is on the receiving end of a verbal volley from my darling wife, Lesley will certainly NOT be in a motivated mood for a while! I know, I've been there too often!

For example...if I sit there and think 'I've got this to do, that to do, I need to speak to this person' - then I often find it difficult to motivate myself to get things done.

Yet...if I sit there and think 'Wow...now THIS is an interesting thing to do that I haven't seen done before, or I wonder what will happen if I try this?' - then immediately my brain kicks into gear and I'm off and running.

But...

In both cases - I could be thinking about the SAME project - and yet am able to get a different result (ie taking inspired action) just by looking at it in a different way.

Also...if you're feeling sorry for yourself because you're too busy then immediately you're going to stifle an such action.

But...if you are challenged because you have got so many interesting things on the go - then you're going to want to get up early like I did today!

Now, you may be thinking - 'That's fine, Gary...but what about those mundane things that I have to do, how can I get inspired about them?'

Well...THAT discussion will be for NEXT week!
