The Motivation Clinic

By Mike E Kennedy

Are you stressed out, overwhelmed and working hard, but not getting anywhere?
Do you know that you are capable of much, much more, but you aren’t currently doing anything about it, no matter how hard you try?
If this sounds like you and you want to do something about it, then read on.
The Author, Mike E Kennedy, even though he’s been acknowledged throughout his life as being a motivational speaker coach and trainer, believes that “No-one can motivate you but yourself.”
That’s why he’s written this book for you.
You see, The Motivation Clinic is a ‘how-to’ workbook, that will give you a structured and progressive approach to seizing control of your life, your business or your career or all three.
Mike offers you his processes, his astute approach and his experience of being a sought after coach and trainer with international experience.
“This book is not meant to be simply read. You work your way through this book by locking the door and someone puts food outside your door! You use this book to create and discover a life that you love.”
You’ll find yourself engaging in a personal process, equipped with charts and forms that enable you to structure your steps forward logically and accountably.
You’ll be introduced to an environment where your motivation is fostered and encouraged.
You will be given permission to go for what you really, really want.
You will learn new skills and ways of relating to yourself that unleash your freedom, your creativity and your motivation such as:
* How to set inspiring goals
* How to strategise and create a winning plan
* How to write and use a vision to keep yourself motivated on your own terms
* How to release yourself from the human condition of inner conflict
* How to acknowledge yourself and others.
* How to forgive yourself and others.
* How to take your human hand brake off
* How you use Celebration to motivated yourself before, during and after your projects
Just as with all his writing, Mike has written a book that you can use to construct inspiring objectives and be supported by structures that help you be the best most amazing version of yourself that you can dare to be.
These are the steps that have been proven by others that can take you to your freedom and power.

I'm Mike, founder of The Motivation Clinic. Our mission is simple: we want to create the best way for people all over the world to discover their own personal motivation and put their “Best Version of Themselves” into action.I’m a coach, trainer, facilitator and author who has been doing a lifetime’s work of helping people find their own clarity in the pursuit of outstanding and inspiring goals. I’ve written seminar work books, training plans, assessments and evaluations of training quality. I’ve also written two soon to be published books: “How to Leave Your Job With Grace and Style” and “Wardrobe Clean-out to Freshen up Your Life”.In The Motivation Clinic, my role is to deliver workshops, coach groups and individuals as well as write and produce videos.A long time ago, I discovered that there were choices beyond accepting the status quo of myself. I realised I can create a better quality of life and a better version of me. This doesn’t mean that I’ve been flying high and free all the time, but it does mean that I can pull myself up and out from the banal,, the commonplace, the clichéd and the ordinary into dynamic, original and exciting ways of being in hot pursuit of worthy and inspiring goals. Put simply, I learnt to go from the ordinary to the extraordinary.All the systems and processes of The Motivation Clinic are techniques that I have used on myself for my lifetime’s expression of being the most extraordinary version of myself that I can be.When I’m not writing, training or coaching, I’m a smitten husband and father, my family own my heart. We have a much loved extended family that stretches from Australia to New Zealand.Both my wife Rose and I are fascinated in learning about other people’s culture. Even though we adore traveling, we love the beautiful Sydney in Australia and the mighty Waikato in New Zealand.Write to me at [e-mail].

THIS WORKBOOK HAS BEEN WRITTEN FOR YOU TO HELP YOU FIND YOUR OWN UNIQUE PERSONAL MOTIVATION.

Sometimes you just stop being motivated by the things that used to motivate you.

Sometimes, the things that have previously brought you joy, satisfaction and inspiration in the past, change without you even noticing it.

In my book The Motivation Clinic, I offer one thing- a way through your current situation to a world of opportunity and fulfilment. It’s a process, not a quick fix.

THIS BOOK IS TO HELP YOU FIND WHAT REALLY LIGHTS YOU UP RIGHT NOW.

So if you’re ready to embark on a life changing journey, my step by step process will help guide you to your somewhere exciting. To your somewhere rewarding.  To your somewhere where you really, really want to go.

Turn the page and you will begin your own journey to discover what currently motivates you.

Testimonials:

I know I need something.  Something that’s strong enough to get me going.  I need something new to do to get away from the tribe of drunks, womanisers and hanger’s-on I’ve been hanging out with. I need someone to teach me what to do and how to do it.  In fact, I need help to stay on track, someone to help me figure out what’s important to me.

GH

This guy knows me.  He knows what I’m feeling and what that’s like. This guy has seen some tough times and has been walking through the dark forest just like me. He talks plain and straight.

BT

Mike knows about having bad habits.  He knows about rejection and disappointment.  He knows what it feels like to have success snatched away at the last minute.  He knows both sides of the coin: what it’s like to have the trappings of success and what it’s like standing in a queue for help.  He also knows I can do better than this.

NP

He believes in me. Sometimes he believes in me when I've stopped believing in me. He even believes in me when I yell at him to stop believing in me. He’s never given up.

Chapter 1. Introduction

Your life is operating on a certain level, a certain frequency and this is often indicated by your level of motivation.

It’s amazing how different your life can be with a bit of focus. One of my clients has a saying: Hocus Focus! that they love to share with me. Focus creates Magic!

I’ve spent the last fourteen years training coaching and mentoring coaches, coaching and mentoring business owners, executives, CEO’s and leaders of organisations.  I’ve spend the last 30 years training and helping people communicate more effectively so they can have a better business and life.  I’ve run workshops and mentored to help people deal with stress and rapid and relentless change.

I’ve helped people who have fallen into bad habits that threaten their family and their livelihood. I’ve worked with people whose lives have been complicated with the haze of drugs and alcohol. I’ve worked with people who have lost their marriage, their home, their kids and their cat. I’ve worked with grieving people, people who are not coping with our culture and society and people who are really successful.

I myself have walked through The Dark Forest a number of times, where nothing I did seem to work and it took me everything I had to get up in the morning and just
