Eighteen principles for motivation that never runs out

“Is it possible to be motivated all the time?” Daniels' answer, from a lifetime of proof: a resounding yes.

How to Be Motivated All the Time

the antidote to discouragement

Discouragement wrecks marriages, businesses, careers and callings, and Peter J. Daniels calls it one of the most fatal emotions in human experience. His answer is not hype. It is a programmed, permanent motivation built from eighteen practical principles, the same system that carried a three time bankrupt to boardrooms across the world.

The book opens in his own lounge room

The guests thought he was resting. His wife knew better.

Visitors arriving at the Daniels apartment glanced through the glass doors and saw Peter stretched out on the lounge, eyes closed. One whispered to his wife how nice it was to finally see him resting, she had never seen him like that before.

“Don't you believe it, he's not resting, he's probably working very hard at something. He's motivated all the time.” Robina Daniels, from the preface

The question the guests asked next is the question of the whole book: is it possible to be motivated all the time? Daniels' answer is a resounding yes, and it comes with a warning. Motivation triggered from outside, by threats, fear, crisis, love or anger, can destroy as easily as it drives. The motivation that lasts is programmed from within, through discipline and planning, until it becomes a permanent part of your personality. This book is the program.

Why this book exists

Discouragement is fatal. Here is its antidote.

The publisher's introduction names the enemy without flinching: discouragement causes failure in marriage, in business, in career, in church life, in study, in personal development. And it names the cure: a person who is both personally and permanently motivated does not give up easily.

Discouragement is certain.
Defeat is optional.

The complete system

Eighteen principles of permanent motivation

Not a pep talk. An architecture, one chapter per principle, each proven in Daniels' own life before he wrote it down.

1

Motivation is Deeply Personal

It cannot be caught like a cold. It must be built within, and even a self confessed introvert can build it.

2

Have Clearly Defined Boundaries

You cannot do everything, but you can do something, and choosing it puts you light years ahead.

3

Have Long Term Goals

Declaring to mind, body and spirit: no back down, no defeat, no retreat.

4

Develop a Positive Mental Attitude

Spend your creative energy on how things can be done, not on why they cannot.

5

Develop a Deep Personal Integrity

Why not be someone you can admire yourself?

6

Take Care in Selecting Your Friends

The right friends revive you to fight another day.

7

Operate Within Personal Timetables

You have all the time you are going to get.

8

Minimise People Dependency

Ring directly, answer directly, respond directly, cut out the waste.

9

Remain in Control All the Time

There is little commitment to someone else's plan under someone else's control.

10

Accept Total Personal Responsibility

Watching traffic move without pushing it is a spectator sport. Builders push.

11

Make Motivation a Habit

Activated once, kept for a lifetime, by habit force.

12

Aspire to Something Greater than Yourself

A magnificent obsession is what you need.

13

Always Have a Futuristic Outlook

Learn from the past, focus on the future, because that is where you will always live.

14

Give Your Motivation to Others

The ten dollar challenge that turns critics into problem solvers.

15

Be Grateful, Not Critical

A formula for restarting the engine and keeping the throttle at high speed.

16

Remove Motivational Blocks Forever

The nine hour wrestle that produced Daniels' lifetime antidote to his own block.

17

Look for Mentors

Living proof that the seemingly impossible can be done, and done very well.

18

Have Built In Personal Incentives

Every incentive reached ignites a new and fresh motivation.

“When someone says something will not work, offer them ten dollars on the spot to give you one reason why it could.”
Peter J. Daniels, from chapter fourteen

He studied the most motivated men alive

Written among giants of motivation

The book is dedicated to Dr. John Haggai, whom Daniels calls the most motivated individual of our time, gliding through life like some graceful mental ballerina with a minimum of fuss and a maximum of results. Someone once said that after fifteen minutes with him you feel you can conquer the world.

Dr. John HaggaiTo whom this book is dedicated

W. Clement Stone, the famous insurance tycoon, exuded the same quality at eighty five, attributing his rise from humble beginnings to this motivated attitude, and inspiring millions by his life.

W. Clement StoneDaniels' mentor, cited in the preface

“Peter J. Daniels is the best platform speaker in the world.” The man who built modern positive thinking said that about the author of this book, a man who once could not read.

Dr. Norman Vincent PealeAuthor, The Power of Positive Thinking

Daniels raises that exact objection in the preface and answers it: no. Externally triggered motivation, the kind that comes from fear, crisis or a rousing speech, fades or destroys. What this book teaches is motivation programmed through discipline and planning until it becomes a permanent part of your personality. Principles, not adrenaline.
Daniels opens chapter one by telling you he is one too: basically an introvert who would far rather spend time alone than lead a parade. Motivation, he argues from his own life, is not a personality type. It is a learned behaviour, available to anyone with a good enough reason to change.
Yes. The PDF reads beautifully on any phone, tablet, or computer, and you can return to your member library from any device, any time.
Yes. The paperback edition is available now on Amazon under the World Centre for Entrepreneurial Studies imprint, part of The Peter J. Daniels Collection: order the paperback here. If you want the book tonight, the digital edition is the one that arrives in the next two minutes.
They are companions. Life Goals gives you the destination and the map; this book keeps the engine running for the whole journey. Daniels wrote it because goals without sustained motivation stall in the flat years, and chapter three explicitly builds the bridge between the two.

One last word

Find the switch

In the postscript Daniels writes that he hopes this book will be the switch that turns you on to be motivated towards greatness, for your own benefit and the benefit of others. Then his closing line: yes, you can be motivated all the time, if you want to. For less than the cost of a takeaway, find your switch tonight.
