How motivated are you?

If you always do what you’ve always done you’ll always get what you’ve always got.
I don’t know when I first heard that saying and I don’t know where it’s from but it’s true. We all have friends who are happy to complain about the same thing for years. We all know people who want to write a novel, one day when they have time...

When I was going a Bob Mater workshop I learned another interesting thing about motivation. Only 5% of people are self-motivated.

So when referring back that first quote, 95% of people will keep doing the same thing even though they get the same results until someone or something forces them to change.

Three questions:
Where do you want to be?
How are you going to get there?
What are you waiting for?

I'm grapling with the deadly combo of over-commitment and perfectionism. It's a great recipe for not getting that book written.
