Thinking Big: Strategy that scales. Mindset that multiplies. The Real Catalyst for Motivation: It's Not What You Think
Welcome to another enlightening episode of the Thinking Big Podcast. Today, we're debunking myths and challenging beliefs about motivation.
The conventional wisdom tells us that motivation leads to action, and action yields results. But what if we've got it all wrong? What if it's action that fuels motivation, not the other way around?
In this episode, we dive deep into this concept, backed by neuroscience and the wisdom of Emerson. We explore how taking even the smallest step can shatter inertia and set you on the path to success.
Key Takeaways:
- Motivation is not the magic key to success; action is.
- Action fuels and builds motivation.
- The action doesn't have to be colossal; even a tiny step can shatter inertia.
- Once you start witnessing the results of your actions, motivation makes its grand entrance.
- Progress is a powerful motivator that drives us.
Quotes From The Episode:
