My father taught me that customers support winners, not whiners. When profits are up, you announce it. When they’re down, you acknowledge it and talk about how you have a plan to turn it around. This goes for inside, too. You won’t support yourself if you talk like a lost cause.

Reframing is one of the most powerful tools for motivating yourself. Reframe your problems into a longer context, meaning that you yourself are still an ongoing work. Reframe your struggles into challenges to learn from. Reframe your frustration into fire to drive forward.

To motivate yourself into fixing your own life, you have to believe your life can be fixed. You have to believe you’re worth investing in. Stop talking like your growth is done and you’re hopeless. That’s a self-fulfilling prophecy. So change your prophecy about yourself.

You’ll support a winner, not a whiner. So stop being a whiner inside your own head. Acknowledge the problems and then look for solutions. Stop assuming there are none. You may just need a mentor to show you what you’ve been missing.

But they won’t want to invest in a whiner, either. They’ll invest when you show them you’ll actually use what they teach you. So get your head on straight. Reframe. View yourself as a work in progress. And support yourself as a winner, not as a whiner.
