In Carol Dweck’s book “ The Power of Mindset: Nurturing Motivation and Confidence ”, [5] the growth and fixed mindsets were coined. A coach may work with a client to break goals into more manageable steps and help build a sense of accomplishment with positive habits being fostered. This is where the power of mindset comes in.

By the time you're close, you are so motivated to get there that it doesn't feel like work at all. When we see the big triumph its easy to get all motivated, but small things are which we need to keep on doing inspite of them being the most difficult to do. So I wrote that. And then I felt bad. So I tried to give an example.

I'm starting to see posts that seem to suggest that motivation should be all stick, no carrot. It may not help you tick off more tasks and accomplishments in the short term … but it just might transform your "To Do List" entirely. By doing so you can motivate to produce even superb results.

I think I agree.

If someone does something just to say they did it (like running a marathon or climbing the Great Wall of China), but didn't enjoy the actual experience of having done it or the accomplishment itself, it was probably a waste of time.

Even if I manage to do that, I will not feel like I have accomplished something important today. And then, when it turns out that it really does mean sleep inducing I didn’t feel accomplished. Once you are drama free, you could actually focus on accomplishing more goals. Who puts a word like that in a picture caption?

I think you need to write a post about things you've done right, things you want, and how you are going to move on and accomplish them. And each of your break-ups has been motivated by fear of this growth and change, rather than by nastiness or gossip. We play hide and seek with our own motives. Is this honesty?

I needed the motivation! I encourage the spending debate for entrepreneurs (internally and externally) to be about why to spend, what it accomplishes, how it simplifies, what's the return, etc. I try to tell people, everyone has the same 24 hours in a day. Choose how you spend the time wisely! You can't get it back.

It is the motivating factor to get up by not having the morning routine. You're accomplishing herculean tasks few women ever think of attempting. But remember, your sons don't care about getting out the door on-time so you'll have to motivate them some other way. Then I leave early to get the kids. Don't.

If you inspire someone to do a good job you've internally motivated them and they'll likely exceed your expectations. If you order someone to do a good job, they likely will (if they're capable) but do no more, being externally motivated. Leading is about inspiring, not ordering. Everything has been handed to them.

" I think a lot of writers start out with essentially selfish motives (I know I did), which is a fine or at least okay way to start out; but if you want anyone else to actually read what you write, much less to pay for the privilege, your writing obviously has to give them something they want.
