Let’s talk real. We all love getting motivated. We attend trainings, watch YouTube videos, get fired up after conventions, and feel like we can conquer the world. That’s great—but motivation is not enough without action.
How many times have you heard a teammate say, “This year, MDRT na ako!” or “Magdo-double ako ng production!” Pero after two days, wala na. Balik sa dating gawi. Why? Because motivation is just the beginning. What really moves the needle is what you do after you’re motivated.
Let me share a quick story. Joel, one of my former teammates, was one of the most enthusiastic agents in the office. After every training, he was the loudest in saying, “Yes, I can do it!” He had vision boards, affirmations, and even sticky notes all over his laptop. Pero sadly, he struggled to hit his quota for months. Bakit? Kasi puro plano, walang galaw.
Now let’s look at Ana. Quiet lang siya sa meetings. Hindi showy, hindi ma-post sa social media. But every day, she had a routine: 10 calls before 10 AM, 3 client meetings a day, and weekly follow-ups. She was consistent. And guess what? She ended the year as one of our top producers. Simple lang ang sikreto niya—consistent action.
You see, motivation can get you started, but action keeps you going. You don’t need to feel 100% inspired to make that call. Hindi mo kailangang motivated para mag-follow-up. What you need is discipline and commitment. You won’t always feel like doing the work—but you do it anyway, because you know it leads to results.
Here’s another truth: motivation fades. It’s like a sugar rush—nakaka-hype sa umpisa, pero mabilis ding mawala. But if you pair that with small, daily actions, your results compound over time. Think of it like investing—konti-konti, pero tuloy-tuloy.
So, if you’re feeling pumped up today, that’s awesome. Use that energy to take the first step. Call three clients right now. Schedule that pending appointment. Review your pipeline. And tomorrow, do it again—even if you don’t feel like it.
We all want to succeed. We all want to be MDRT, COT, TOT. But those titles aren’t earned by motivation alone. They are built on consistent effort, smart strategy, and the discipline to do the workday in and day out.
Motivation is the match. But action is the firewood that keeps the flame burning.
So, my friends, ask yourself: What’s one action I can take today to move closer to my goal? Do it now. Not later. Not next week. Now.
Because at the end of the day, those who act are the ones who succeed.
All the best my friends!!
