The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us

Health Pursuit Blog

In today’s animated video, Dan Pink speaks about the truth behind what really motivates us to perform better, at home and in the work place.

Here are three aspects he discusses:

  1. A couple of US studies which call into question that:
    1. If you reward something your get more of the behaviour you want, and
    2. If you punish something you get less of it.
  2. 3 essential motivation factors which lead to better performance and personal satisfaction.
  3. How problems start to arise when the profit motive becomes unhinged from the purpose motive

In order to successfully achieve your goals, dreams and aspirations, it is essential that you are aligned with what really motivates you.  If not you’ll struggle to achieve your goals.

Needs some assistance to create goals which really motivate you?  To empower you to transform your results and achieve greater success?  If so,  then I’d love to help you.  Please contact me now by clicking here so we can discuss options for achieve your goals.
