Driving Power Motivates and Build Focus

Can you tell me about your driving power? What drives your relationships to your employees? Your business? Your identity? I’m confidence everyone has a personal driving power. The source of your business – and mine. Everything we do have a driving power, and all of them are not redeemable. Driving power is more dangerous than we think.

Some are so powerful that when it fades away, we cannot do it anymore. It is arguable that this is the reason most business professionals recommend that businessmen/women should put their names on anything they published. One motivation I heard was, “anything could happen, you could decide to sell your business, or you just don’t have passion for it anymore.”

I have heard of many successful and innovative businesses that start from a garage, lawn or other places in the house. The business was successful. But, it is not the driving power. They are doing it because they’d love what they do. Doing what we love is rewarding enough, and any financial earnings are additional benefits. We’d need money to run our business – but we won’t feel it.

It is like spending money on our basic needs. What drives us is often found in the core of our business: it is our identity, strength and change could stop it. Its common function is why the business exists. One powerful thing about the core is perspective, because it determines our action and how to act. Sometimes, when this driving power changes, we could see patterns that suggests how to handle it.

Unfortunately, the driving power of doing business sometimes fade away. When this happens, the motivation goes with it. Imagine what happens to a business or your personal relationship when the foundation faded away. All currently successful businesses are intelligent at deciding how to position themselves in a way that sustains their positioning power. Some no longer exists, because their driving power faded away like the Rockefeller magic faded away.

I like competitions, and have no problems competing against any company. But only when necessary. For example, when a new business enters your area of expertise, then you wages wars. Sometimes, if we explore this new business closely, it could be an ally, which potentially makes their customers yours without making them a competitor. This perspective might surprise you – we are all in business to make money and take out the competitors.

Just remember, there is a huge different between necessary competitions and the optional ones. The necessary ones are actually competitors, while the optional ones are troubling you for no or little strategic reasons. For example, it is understandable for Facebook and Twitter to compete against one another, but a clothing store compete against any of them changes things.

It is obvious that they are not even in the same class or branch. The clothing store could showcase and market its products on both F & T. A driving power builds perspectives that lead the path, which directs where to put focus and improves success possibilities. When the core is helping people, we can think of millions of ways to help, but when narrowing down how (perspectives), then we will see what to focus on.

These will strengthens your capabilities and knowledge about where to go on the overall success. In conclusion, driving power is the foundation that motivates you against all obstacles and boost your abilities to overcome most – if not all – challenges. It tells you where to put your focus, and where you are going. You can begins your path there.
