He often made up stories about people being mean to him so he could find the energy to win. Other famous people like Tom Brady and Walt Disney also used negative feelings to work harder and prove others wrong. This video explains how a short burst of frustration can give you focus and help you finish difficult tasks. You will see how to use this dark side of motivation to reach your goals without letting it hurt your health or your friends. ✎ Phil Knight started the famous brand Nike with only a fifty dollar loan from his father. He faced many big problems like being fifty thousand dollars in debt and almost going bankrupt. He worked a normal job as an accountant while selling running shoes out of the back of his car. Phil Knight stayed persistent through legal battles and tough times because he loved the sport of running. His story shows that having passion and a clear vision can help you overcome any obstacle in your path to success. ✎ Arnold Schwarzenegger stayed motivated by writing down every single workout in a journal. He set small goals each week to make sure he was always getting a little bit better. He also spent time every day visualizing his success as a bodybuilding champion and a movie star. This video teaches you that discipline is more important than just waiting to feel inspired. By following the habits of Michael Jordan, Phil Knight, and Arnold Schwarzenegger, you can build the strength to keep going until you reach your big dreams. ★ BOOKS ★ • Momentum: https://amzn.to/3kJZIAv • Build to Serve: https://amzn.to/3XZiCSg • Your One Word: https://amzn.to/3R9qVII • The Top 10 Rules for Success: https://amzn.to/3JcNZVe • 254 Confidence: https://amzn.to/3jdh9c2 ★ RECOMMENDED VIDEOS FOR YOU ★ If you liked this video, you'll love these ones: • What NOT to DO as a Young Entrepreneur - https://youtu.be/14b2ccMQcb4 • Nick Woodman Moved Back Into His Parents' Basement At 26.
