[[:encoded, "Some days you’d rather be in bed watching Netflix, going surfing, or skiing, than picking up the phone to make client acquisition (revenue generation) calls to increase business revenue. It happens to the best of us, even those of us that love our business. When you feel uninspired to tackle that to-do list, try one or more of these 10 tips, I’m about to share with you, to ramp up your motivation level and be productive again. \n\n1.\tGet Digital.
