Recently, my oldest son who is serving a mission in Romania for two years asked me this question: “How can a person increase their determination?" So, in response to his question here are a few thoughts I had while driving between clients. (Please pardon the audio quality.) I come up with five important steps, nestled with a dozen other principles, which are necessary for increasing determination. Principle number one is to have vision and purpose. Where there is a vision, there is no “have to," there is “want to." With vision, discipline comes easy. Without vision, discipline is a struggle. Put your focus on to an exciting end goal that you are committed to moving toward and then fully commit yourself to achieving it. Discover the next four principles for increasing determination. I hope you enjoy it!

He has sold over 5 million copies of his books, including, "1501 Ways to Reward Employees." We discussed the importance of having coaches in your life. Dr. Nelson encourages listeners to participate in what he calls the "what does the ideal day look like for you?" activity. If you've ever wanted to write a book, Dr. Nelson shares ideas for becoming an author and what it means to have tenacity. We discussed the importance of leadership and the impact they have on culture, performance, and motivation. A leader cannot say, "It's not my job to motivate my people." Uh, no. False. Motivation is a leader's responsibility.
