“After 20 years – it will be 20 years – of being on the high wire of American politics and all of the challenges that come with that it will be probably a good idea to just find out how tired I am.” – Hillary Clinton

Here, brandmakernews has compiled 7 Motivational Tips from seven different highly prominent individuals in their respective fields, check it out
1. Steve Jobs. Infect people with excellence:
Steve Jobs is my model of a successful CEO. Where others seek to make “acceptable” products for mass consumption, he stops at nothing short of amazing. He takes his personal passion for excellence and infects every aspect of his business with it– day in, day out.
“Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected.”- Steve Jobs
2. Bill Clinton. Add an ounce of swagger to everything.
Ok, this one was a toss up between Barack and Bill, Bill won just because I’ve seen his swag longer. There is just a way about Bill Clinton, that’s a bit hard to explain, it’s almost like he’s everything to everybody and himself at the same time– is there a word for that? Oh yeah, it’s swag. I’ve seen women talk about Bill Clinton, nerds, tough guys, black people, white people and they all seem to have the same look on their faces— awe. The lesson I learn from reading about and watching Bill Clinton is once you’ve got the inside down, work on the outside. To be successful in business, you’re ultimately going to have to understand people, and who’s a better teacher than Bill Clinton?
‘If you live long enough, you’ll make mistakes. But if you learn from them, you’ll be a better person.” -Bill Clinton
3. Michelle Rhee. Speak your mind, and back it up with action.
As education reform has become a major issue, I’ve been seeing more and more of Michelle Rhee, the former DC Schools Chancellor and now CEO of Students First. What sparked my interest in her was her willingness to say what she thought at all times even if it could possibly hurt her politically. Rhee speaks her mind and calls people to task with absolutely no regard for retribution. In one interview, I watched her call out UFT president Randi Weingarten when no one else would.
“We are always going to put the best interests of kids above the rights, privileges and priorities of adults.” -Michelle Rhee
4. Kanye West. Be fearless. Be vulnerable.
When I think about people from my generation who are creatively fearless, the one person who comes to mind is Kanye West. From saying “George Bush doesn’t care about black people”, to shooting a hip hop video with a Prague ballet company, Kanye definitely leads with his heart and takes lots of risks along the way. Kanye reminds me everyday that there is strength and fearlessness in being vulnerable and raw.
“It’s not about popular opinion, it’s when you look in your heart and know what’s right and what’s wrong… if you’re a real artist, HAVE NO FEAR.” -Kanye West

Simon Sinek has a simple but powerful model for inspirational leadership all starting with a golden circle and the question “Why?” His examples include Apple, Martin Luther King, and the Wright brothers — and as a counterpoint Tivo, which (until a recent court victory that tripled its stock price) appeared to be struggling.
He make some great points in this video, stating “people don’t buy what you do they buy why you do it.” A lot of people do thing for money and there for lack passion in their work. Money is the result of the work and shouldn’t be the reason for you doing the work. Good stuff here make sure you check this out and leave your thoughts.
