This classic episode of the Elevate Podcast features Jeff Hadne.

Jeff’s first paid ghostwriting job was writing a press release for a startup. Since then he’s written about real estate, management, process improvement, finance and investing. He’s ghostwritten books on subjects as diverse as breastfeeding, hydroponics, horticulture and magic.

After an intriguing discussion with Metallica guitarist, Kirk Hammett, plus dozens of interviews with other incredibly successful people, Jeff decided to pull back the veil on what it really means to “get motivated” and reach goals. These insights led him to write and publish his own book The Motivation Myth.

As Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Give and Take writes, “Jeff Haden knows what many people don’t: that success is less about searching for motivation and more about muddling through until you achieve something motivating. This clear, enjoyable book has plenty of advice on how to do that.”

He’s also an avid cyclist (which he hated when he first started), ghostwrote a eulogy and writes an Inc. column that attracts over 20 million readers.
