Despite what you may have heard, motivation is NOT a magical starting point. Instead, we argue that motivation is a result of five critical factors:

1. Energy drives action: Physical and mental energy levels, supported by healthy habits like proper sleep, exercise, and nutrition, are foundational for motivation.
2. Desire determines commitment: High desire means you’re committed to doing whatever it takes, while low desire leads to inconsistency when challenges arise.
3. Distraction reveals priorities: Frequent distractions suggest a lack of genuine commitment to your goals.
4. Belief fuels execution: Confidence in your ability to achieve a goal boosts your willingness to take consistent action.
5. Delay impacts motivation: Long-term goals can hinder motivation; breaking them into short-term milestones makes them feel attainable.

By understanding and optimising these elements, you can sustain motivation, overcome obstacles, and achieve meaningful progress in both personal and professional goals. Isn’t that what we all want?

This is the first episode of our Matters series, where we share short, laser-focused ideas and tackle essential topics like mindset, health, family, and money.

After a refreshing break, you’re brimming with optimism and big-picture thinking. However, the holiday mode can derail momentum if not handled carefully.

Starting the year right sets the tone for success!

Bosses must strike a balance, keeping their “head in the clouds” (vision and strategy) while maintaining their “feet on the ground” (practical execution).

Businesses that fail to hit the ground running risk falling into tactical firefighting, losing valuable time.

Now’s the time – a strong January lays the foundation for a productive and profitable year.

Takeaways from this episode:
🔨 Shake off the holiday cobwebs and jumpstart those January plans.
🔨 Dream big, but don’t forget to actually get stuff done.
🔨 It’s time to rally the troops and bring the buzz.
🔨 Rekindle those client relationships early—don’t let your pipeline gather dust.
🔨 Work hard, but don’t forget to recharge your batteries with scheduled breaks.
🔨 A little prep now saves a lot of angst later on.

It’s that time of year. You’re all excited to get things started both in business and personally. And it’s a time when many put pen to paper to write down their new goals and resolutions.

But, hang on! Resolutions for most people are doomed to fail. They’re often rooted in vague goals focused on escaping pain rather than striving for meaningful outcomes.

At Pravar, we recognise the importance of clear, inspiring visions paired with strategic planning and preparedness for challenges. In this episode we encourage you to embrace clarity and intention to ensure lasting success in your personal and professional goals.

In this episode you’ll learn:

🔨 The 3 traps relate to why leaders struggle to drive organisational change.
🔨 Many resolutions focus on pain, not inspiring, positive outcomes.
🔨 Clear, measurable goals are more motivating than vague actions.
🔨 Avoid overwhelm by prioritising “what” over immediately jumping into “how”.
🔨 Business owners must focus on leadership, not just daily operations.
🔨 Dream bigger and embrace aspirations beyond short-term fixes.
🔨 Growth requires practice, persistence, and readiness for inevitable challenges.
