Are you hard on yourself? Are you easy on yourself? Think about it for a second… Regardless of what you may have thought before; it’s not about the ‘positive’ or ‘negative’ anymore.

Motivation... any successor's greatest feat. We all could use that push, right? Today I bring you seven ways to know whether or not you acquire motivation. Acknowledge, learn, act. Your success will rely on your degree of motivation. This ain't for everybody... Anyone willing to prove me wrong?


Episode 95 Time Stamps:

(4:14) "What really makes people successful and powerful in life, is their degree of MOTIVATION. I can repeat it one hundred times, but it's true every time I say it. When you are motivated, when you are emotionally engaged, you learn faster. What takes someone ten years to learn, you can learn in two years. When you are emotionally engaged in something, you can push past any obstacles. That is something you can control." -Greene

(10:45) Why you aren't motivated, pt. 3: You can't follow through with routines | "Above the Line" by Urban Meyer

(14:25) Why you aren't motivated, pt. 4: You hang around "average" people

(18:49) Why you aren't motivated, pt. 5: You don't have any disciples

(21:13) Why you aren't motivated, pt. 6: You live life like it's a marathon

(23:20) Why you aren't motivated, pt. 7: You don't have an anti-vision
