Problems with motivation? Perhaps another few thousand dollars in a bank account of motivate? No? That I do not know what is wrong with you, so do not motivate of money?
The above example is just a colored view of what people for whom money is of secondary importance meet. Am I the right person to advise others what to do in this situation? It’s hard to say, because on the one hand, it is taking actions to increase the amount on the account at the end of each month, on the other hand, money is for me only the element that allows me to realize my true motivations.
Each of us wants to have a good life, but it means something different to everyone. Some need cars and yachts, others just need a decent car that doesn’t break down, and the third one doesn’t need a car. When your friends work 12 hours a day to go on a dream vacation, you would happily spend it in your garden, with a book or watching a movie.
One cannot say that one of the approaches is better or worse. We try to live our own lives in the best way for ourselves, and the fact that money is not a motivation is only better for you, because one problem.
In the sentence above, I wrote that everyone can live what they want, if they do not bother others and uphold this opinion, but the motivation as us guides us in achieving my goal, in my opinion, matters.
If money counts for someone, he probably will not pay attention to human feelings and with a high degree of probability he will not have close relationships with other people. You say that virtually every billionaire has a family. I will answer that he has a family, because money was probably just an extra element of life.
I would be a hypocrite saying that I lived well without money. They usually cease to be motivation among people who have managed the labor market and are not motivated by bills.
We live in a society in which the meaning of money has been taught to us since childhood. Classmate has a new game console, so we would like to have it, but parents have no money. Someone is going on a great holiday, and you were the furthest away in the neighboring state. Money has become a definition of human status.
Fortunately, wealth does not mean snobbery in most cases, and once you achieve it, you get a money-for-life tip in your head.
I’ve always wanted to have money, when it so my parents could have a better life to my future family had financial problems and after that I could do what I really like to do that is to travel.
This is how my goals were presented as individuals, but I always wanted to change the environment around me. I wanted to influence the lives of others. It is not about dictatorial tendencies but about making cooperation with me profitable for others. It sounds a little too sweet, so this will end my personal experience.
As I mentioned, after reaching a certain state of life you are finally able to live. Bills paid, nice car, dream home and everything you want. After all, you can do what you want, whenever you want and how you want.
The problem is the work you still attend, because despite monetary motivation, however, to maintain the current state of life needs new transfers to the account.
Let’s assume that your work does not bother you much and fascinates you. You perform activities that you know and are not stressful for you. You would like to quit your job to have time for yourself and your family, especially since you know that the fridge will be full for the next year or two, even if you didn’t lift a finger.
If you have already quit your job, in my opinion this is a bad decision. Such a decision will only make you experience your dream life and will not want to go back to work. The only situation where I see no problem with being unemployed in this case is when you know that you have so much money that you do not have to work for the rest of your life.
On the other hand, it’s hard for me to imagine “doing nothing” for the rest of my life. Do you know the saying that “no work kills”? Apparently, retired people die of boredom, not age.
You should find another motivation, after all, money is just one of the motivators in our lives.
You work in a place where you mainly go for money. If it would give you joy and satisfaction, you probably wouldn’t read this article. In business, money is just one of the motivators.
I have always wanted to run my own business and be my own boss. This involves full responsibility for your life. There is no boss who always transfers money on time, even if you fail or there are fewer customers. There is only you who must fight for every dollar to be able to grow and reach a larger audience.
No rigid working hours, obligations imposed by other people, a pre-set timetable and many other restrictions that meant that you went to work less willingly.
The next element is of course the freedom to choose the form of business. Maybe you had the idea you always wanted to realize or you’re interested in the construction industry or you want to work online writing texts, selling graphics or creating ads, the choice is unlimited.
Define what is success for you, another thousands, another satisfied customer or maybe a project that will not necessarily bring you big profits, but will give you immense satisfaction. For each of us, the definition can be different, it depends on you what will serve as your new motivation.
If you have your own company, you can take orders as you like. For my part, I would add that it is hard work that often takes more hours than a full-time job, a question if it is something for you.
After a few years in the industry, it comes to a point where it is difficult to learn new things. The whole work process becomes schematic, which leads to reduced motivation.
Although these days there is a lot of emphasis on developing horizons, it is often difficult to find time for it.
For my example I will say that interested me making websites, not as something very endearing, but it was you that coffee. When I made several commercial pages, I received customer queries about why their pages did not display on GOOGLE. Initially, I didn’t know the answer, I started reading and the topic drew me more and more. Ultimately, I create websites only for myself and I am active in the field of internet marketing.
I worked a full time job in this aspect, but after hours I spent a lot of time learning and taking courses.
Maybe you also need to think about what you really want to do and start doing it. With financial security, such a decision, even with a risk, should not be difficult to make.
For me, creating reality, and not just being part of it, is the biggest motivation for action. My ego in this respect is blown to such an extent that I would not be offended as if in a few decades, at school during history lessons I was devoted at least 10 seconds.
Of course, no one will teach kids about a guy write about it on the Internet , he is aware of this and when I achieve full financial independence I want to start getting involved in matters more important to me. At this stage of life, however, money is still the main motivation.
I’m going to start with small things and I offer it to you too. It may annoy you that the local children do not have to where to play, or you close a hole in the road which nothing happens for years. In that case, consider whether a local politician’s career is not something for you.
If not, how about a business and creating a company that sets new standards in employment? A specific wage model and employee treatment, an original product or a solution to problems of a social group by means of services rendered.
When working full-time, the other people above have an impact on you. Think about how your life would change if you had an impact on the lives of people like you.
The most common motivation of the people with whom talks meters . It’s for her that you wake up in the morning when it rains or it’s 30 degrees and all you want to do is lie on work. However, you are going to work, which you like on average, but thanks to it your family has safety in the form of metric care, they do not have to worry about food and the bailiff does not knock on the door in the morning saying that he takes care of the TV and the car.
The same is true for me, only at the moment of writing I do not have a wife, so motivates me to work on it to send parents on a dream vacation, and brother help in ramping up the business.
There is not much to write on this topic, because the family is the most original thing motivating to work.
Above I gave examples of ways to motivate me to continue working. There are also other motivations, e.g. sports, in life. Someone wants to run a marathon, lose some weight or not be out of breath on the 4th floor.
The most important thing is to have any motivation. A person not motivated by money still has many ways to make sense of earning them. I envy you that you have such problems, I hope that someday money will lose sense in my form as it is now.
I will gladly find out about your problems and if the above entry has not inspired you to act, maybe in the comments we will come to the conclusion that will motivate you.
