Instant Results!

I received the book on Thursday and finished it last night. I have got to tell you, I am already seeing results! My son, who is 9, is having trouble at school. Not bad stuff, but his grades this year started as A's and now they are B's. I have seen him rush through his work, leaving questions blank and sloppy handwriting. We only have the one kiddo, and we have taken away his video games and sleepovers until he slows down his work. I have found his DNA is the same as mine (CVE) and now realize I was motivating him to work better the wrong way! I talked to him LAST NIGHT and found he would rather have a sleepover as a reward for good work rather than $10. I also found out he would rather lose his video games instead of sleepovers for bad work. As a variable, I see his spelling as his worst subject and realized, its a list of words. So tonight, I plan on handing him his list and asking him to write a story using the spelling words~I bet we get better grades this Friday! I am very anxious to lock into the free gifts and learn as much as I can to improve my relationships at work and home. The book has already paid for itself in just these 2 instances! Thank you again, Tamara. I was a fan before, but now I'm a walking advertisement for your system!

DNA Motivational Achievement!

If you are one of the millions of individuals, including teens, who can't seem to get, find or to stay motivated, this is the book for you. However, even if you are highly motivated, it's still 100% awesome just because it helps to pinpoint possible reasons about being so goal-oriented. For example, my siblings are constantly asking where my energy-level comes from...now, using pertinent information discovered in this book, that I'll refer to as DNA Motivational Achievement, I think they will be able to understand my passion a little better. It's clearly helpful and can actually be fun to delve inside perceptions of what makes us tick, to sort of speak, and what may be holding us back in specific areas, and best of all, how to change it into a harmonious balance to move forward with success. Great read!

Really Gets You Want to Get Going!

I love this book. Tamara strikes a great balance between motivating you through the success stories of others and teaching you had to determine your own motivational factors and triggers. The blueprint for goal-setting and motivation is excellent. The premise of this valuable work is really quite simple; we're all motivated differently. The examples in the first sections of the book illustrate this point. Then the book takes you through the process of determining what motivates you with a valuable questionnaire. Keep the results of the questionnaire - post them on your refridgerator, in your office, in your bathroom! Don't get confused like many of us do by letting other people's motivating factors become your own. The most important thing to get right in this book is what your motivational DNA is, then you can take the next logical and mechanical steps to factor that into building a blueprint for success. Then, of course, the keys to success at that point are to review your motivations to keep them always foremost in your daily life and to develop and follow your plan religiously. Track your progress and make adjustments as necessary. A wonderful read. Discipline, however, will yield results once you know what you're trying to do and why. I highly recommend this to get you going. Kevin Brett CEO Kevin Brett Studios, Inc. Author: "The Way of the Martial Artist: Achieving Success in Martial Arts and in Life!"

Helped me understand myself...

This book was easy to read... and really gave me insight into why I am the way I am and how I can motivate myself to accomplish more. I'm inspired and feel like the DNA model is something I can actually use. Thank you, Tamara!!

Get Motivated - Best Motivation Book I've Ever Read

When I saw the title of this book I thought, what a timely book for a day and age when motivation is needed more than ever. Of course, I did wonder, would it deliver? As I read the book I was surprised at how applicable it was to the many challenges that I'm facing as a leader of a national organization, a father and a husband. Rarely do you find a book that speaks to developing both your business skills and personal skills. However, the principles in this book had clear application to all facets of my life. I found myself stopping and taking notes about how I can implement some of the great lessons discovered in these pages. Tamara's writing style is very engaging and practical. I liked the way the book is laid out with assessments and studies of real life leaders and how their motivational styles influence their leadership. I ordered copies for all of my employees and have asked them to take the Motivation DNA survey in order to discover better how to relate together as a team. I'm also working on applying the principles at home and in my personal life. I've discovered that I tend to try and motivate my children through the things that motivate me which can often be ineffective and leave us both frustrated. As I've worked to motivate my kids in their unique style, I have seen better results. The only thing I wish were different about the book was I wish I had it 20 years ago. If you want to grow as a leader and unleash the power of motivation to help you achieve more, I would recommend you order this book today and choose express shipping.
