Lisa asked: How do you overcome a lack of motivation in tough times?

Kerri's Response: 

I love this question as no matter who we are, there are always times that we lack motivation and it can hit us especially when things are not going well in our lives.

My advice would be to sit back and re-assess your goals. Take some time to work out where you want to be, what you want to achieve or have and then plan out how you’re going to get there.

Simply doing this process will have you focus on the positive and help you look forward, rather than thinking about your current situation.

Then, one of the MOST important questions you need to ask yourself is WHY do you want to have or achieve your goal?

Create a list of your WHYS, like on my Gold Medal Excellence plan. We called it “OUR PURPOSE” – the reasons we wanted to win Gold.

This then becomes your motivation!

Thanks for coming into our chatroom and all the best with our goals and dreams.

Hey Christine, We reached out to Ella and she had these lovely words to say. She also offered to have a conversation with you if you are up for it. 

Here is what she emailed us: 

I'm sorry to hear about the challenges you've been facing as a female non-tech founder.Dealing with issues like sexism and team dynamics can be incredibly frustrating. You've been supportive, patient, and directive, which are important qualities in a leader.Creating a more inclusive and effective work environment requires boundaries. As leaders, whatever we compromise will become the norm in the business, so it might be helpful to be aware of what we are normalising here. You have the power to shape the culture and values of your organisation. 

Thanks Christine, we will forward this comment to Ella and see what she has to say. 

Thanks Mez - great suggestion and thanks for adding to this very important topic area! 👍
