Here are four key ingredients for creating breakthroughs.
1. Necessity
They say necessity is the mother of invention. And most inventions are breakthroughs to some degree. When we have to make a change, when we have to get something done, we think differently. No more lazy thoughts and re-thoughts. We must innovate.
2. New Clarity, New Perspective
Clarity leads to power—and breakthroughs. When we become clear on something we were confused or fuzzy about, we see things in a new way. Maxwell Maltz said, “When you see a thing clearly in your mind, your creative ‘success mechanism’ within you takes over and does the job much better than you could do it by conscious effort or ‘willpower.’”

There is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to motivating team members. But there are six key factors you need to take into account if you want your efforts to have an impact.
1. Make It Personal
A cookie-cutter approach to rewarding or motivating your team will not work. Every one of your team members has different dreams, goals and reasons for coming to work. For some, a hand-written note from the CEO will mean the world, for others, only cash will do. Get to know your team. Find out what makes them tick. What hobbies do they have? What does their family need? What can you get for them that they would love but can’t get themselves?

But in actuality, improving our performance, increasing our efficiency and getting more done in less time is crucial to our success.
