Motivational speaker in Johannesburg, Estienne de Beer asks the rhetorical question of what motivation is? Motivation is a crucial part of everything we do. Whether it is business, education, health, sport, family or any other factor in our life, we need to be motivated.  We need to be goal orientated and focus on the end result, like they say; Rome was not built in a day! Motivation can either be intrinsic (internally motivated) or extrinsic (externally motivated). Motivation can lead to increased levels of energy and effort, improved performance and increased persistence in activities. Not all of us find it easy to stay motivated, so if you start to feel a bit down in the dumps read an inspirational book, listen to some music or attend a seminar. Someone once said that the only real failure is the failure to try! See, book and enjoy motivational speaker in Johannesburg, Estienne de Beer.
