A friend slapped me on the face to help me get motivated. Make your motivation shoot up the roof through this simple yet effective way.

Early on in my journey it was really tough, and still is so this is why I developed this effective motivation system; but back then I called a friend of mine to vent out and as I'm complaining she says to me: "Moustafa, an inspirational speaker that needs inspiration does not work"; and that was exactly the slap on my face that made me realize that if I ever want to achieve anything in life, I have to be able to always find inspiration and stay motivated! The motivation system I have developed will make your motivation shoot up the roof by tackling both your internal and external motivation, and no slaps guaranteed! Internal inspiration comes from expecting positive outcomes from your actions and external motivation comes from believing that what you are about to do can be done otherwise its illogical to exp
