I wanted to share a video today that’s a very interesting look at what motivates us.

Keep in mind as you watch that you’re your own boss, and it’s your job to motivate yourself!

Understanding the way our own minds and emotions work can help us keep ourselves inspired and motivated to work towards our goals.

I totally agree with the video that if we treat people like people and not like horses then they are going to give better performance. Also, purpose is more powerful than rewards.

Thanks for sharing such an awesome video. I am loving your post. Keep up the good work Michelle.
