Bestselling Author, CEO Kevin Guest Shares Insights from
Global Leadership
SALT LAKE CITY, March 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Because
March 4 is associated with marching
forth, it is the perfect date to motivate oneself to achieve goals,
says a bestselling author, musician and CEO who inspires leaders
around the world.
"Successful people do a good job of motivating themselves to
take action each day," said Kevin
Guest, chairman and CEO of USANA Health Sciences (NYSE:
USNA), and author of All the Right Reasons, 12 Timeless
Principles for Living a Life in Harmony. "With the right
inspiration, I have seen that anyone can become more
productive."
To coincide with March 4, Guest
recommends four key steps to take to achieve more.
"Find an activity that energizes you. Use music, books, quotes
or movies for motivation," said Guest. "Maybe you have a certain
movie scene or song that motivates you. For someone else, it might
be a favorite quote. Inspirational videos found online only take a
few minutes to watch. The key is to start and end the day with
something that inspires you to take action.
"One thing that can energize you is a good exercise routine that
increases your heart rate and sends oxygen to your brain, which
will refresh you, help you think more clearly and feel more like
doing your work."
Raised in Montana, Guest, whose
billion-dollar nutrition company operates in 24 markets around the
world, was always active in nature and with physical
activities.
"Get started early in the day. I've found if you can accomplish
something worthwhile before 9 a.m.,
you'll be motivated to do even more during the rest of the day," he
said. "If you fail to do anything substantial by noon, you might
feel bad about how you've wasted the morning.
"Often, you won't feel motivated in the afternoon and will
likely stall progress by putting things off until later."
Guest applies his early-to-rise habit to everything, including
before he performed at Grand Ole Opry with country star
Collin Raye, he writes in his
book.
"I arrived in Nashville early,
interacted with country music idols, and had a great experience
when I went on stage, which was a complete turnabout from my first
Opry performance. All this was because I was early and prepared,
which put me in a calm frame of mind," he said.
Third, Guest says to break goals into smaller, attainable steps
to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
"Dividing bigger goals into a series of small steps is a huge
secret to success," he said. "What's more, accomplishing goals
rapidly motivates you to the next one. I've also found it's key to
celebrate and reward yourself for a job well done, and with small
steps, rewards come often."
Finally, the international leader says to realize that nothing
changes until your behavior changes.
"Visualization and positive self-talk have their place, but
they're only effective if your behavior changes," Guest said. "You
can wish your way to make a million dollars by aligning with your
values, but it won't happen unless you're consistently doing
something different. That's the key to real change."
All the Right Reasons is packed with Guests'
experiences with celebrities and regular people who taught him
lessons for success. From being influenced by his parents, who
owned a Montana lumber mill, to
interviewing KISS' frontman Gene
Simmons when he was arguably the biggest rockstar in the
world, Guest captures experiences that have helped him go from
being a teen fixed on becoming a rockstar to chairman of a
billion-dollar company.
"Most of all, I know life is short, but it's long enough if we
don't waste time," he said. "Simply put, we can accomplish a lot
between now and the end of our life if we respect and make the most
of our time. It's easy to put things off until tomorrow, but there
are only so many tomorrows left."
Written specifically to help others find success secrets, All
the Right Reasons uncovers 12 principles for living a life in
harmony. All proceeds from sales of the bestseller are
directed to feeding two million meals to hungry children. Available
on Amazon, the book provides 40 meals for each
single purchase.
