People take action because they choose to.

Sometimes the choice is motivated by fear, shame, anger, resentment, or excitement.

But for yourself, when are you most motivated to do something?

Is it when you’re fearful or angry?

I find that for me it’s when I’m excited and have a clear plan.

So next time you’re trying to motivate someone consider how you’re best motivated.

Get them excited about it, ask them how it could benefit them, and present clear steps to execute.
