What is your number one #motivation?
Personally, I am most #motivated by helping others achieve #successes that they weren’t able to achieve themselves.
Being a #success #incubator sometimes means that someone’s success isn’t always easily attributed to you. A few months ago, some people I worked with started talking about building a #consulting approach to their work.
A year prior to that, I had led our team down that journey…moving from an #intakementality to a #consultingmentality (finding and creating the work ourselves). Someone I worked with asked me if it bothered me that someone was taking credit for my ideas and efforts without attributing me for the effort.
I wasn’t bothered at all.
See, it was #motivating to me to see them moving in a #positivedirection. I know and they know where they got the #idea…it’s not necessary for everyone to know.
Recently, I was telling someone that very few people will take the time to #recognize people publicly for what they’ve done. On #socialmedia, few will write a #review or #recommendation, even when you do a great job.
It’s important to be able to pull #motivation out of something #extrinsically versus feeding off the #intrinsic parts of it.
So, what #motivates you?
