Motivation is the driving force behind how we act and what outcomes we achieve. What motivates you to do things in your life?
As an online networker I feel it is important that I try to see the world through the eyes of others so, I tried to think about the drivers behind what I do and thought this might help me to determine what also motivates others.
Here is my top drivers 5 I came up with.
1. Love– I really did not want this to be at the top as it is a bit cheesy but really I love all my jobs I am involved in. I love getting up in the morning and knowing I am going to be helping someone today either with their health and wellbeing, with their fitness or with their online ventures. Loving what you do is a great motivator as it gives purpose and substance to your day.
2. Stimulation- I crave new things. Once I have something conquered I am ready to move on to learning something new. With all my chosen professions so far I have picked jobs that are constantly evolving and therefore frequently stimulating my brain.
3. Money– here it is. The big one I thought I could leave out. I did not want to include money on my list as in my own mind I was sure this was not a driver. However on further inspection of my desires money is really up there. I love travelling- cha ching, I love shoes and handbags- cha ching ching, I love taking my kids to try different things out- ching cha. So money has to be right here at #3 on my list.
4. Challenge– I craves challenges like I crave coffee in the morning. At the time of getting a challenge fear usually sneaks in and I think I could never do it but once it is done I actually love the after feeling, accomplishment, and this leaves me craving my next challenge. Thus I am sure I am destined to be an eternal student.
5. Fun– my fav motivator. Surfing is fun, travelling is fun, networking is fun, solving peoples health problems is fun, teaching fitness to others is fun, raising 3 kids is FUN.
What is it that motivates you to action? Share your ideas below as I would love to have some new ones to add to my list. 🙂 I look forward to seeing your comments.
