Interrupt The Limiting Pattern

If you want to help somebody, you won't be able to by telling someone that they're wrong or pointing out that they're inconsistent, but rather by asking them questions that cause them to realize for themselves their inconsistencies. This is a much more powerful lever than attacking someone. If you try to exert only external pressure, they'll push against it, but internal pressure is impossible to resist. 

What will this cost me if I don't change? 

What will I miss out on in life if I don't make the shift?

What is it already costing me mentally, emotionally, physically, financially? 

If I do change, what kind of momentum could I create if I change my life? 

Interrupt the Limiting Pattern

We can be highly motivated to change, but if we keep doing the same things, running the same inappropriate patterns, our lives are not going to change. You have to scramble the sensations you link to memories. 

Remember: your brain cannot tell the difference between what you vividly imagine and what you actually experience. 

Positive Reinforcement

The most powerful way to reinforce people and motivate them is through personal development. By helping your employees to grow and expand personally, your employees begin to feel passionate about life, people, and then jobs. 

This makes them want to contribute more. They do it out of a sense of personal pride rather than from pressure from the outside. This doesn't mean you shouldn't have an incentive program; just make sure you have the most powerful incentive of all, which is to help people expand and grow.
