The Biggest Career Mistake to Avoid: The Pitfalls of Using Money As a Motivator

Do you, or your company use money as a motivator?

Is money the only reason you keep doing what you do? Even if you hate your job?

As per a study by MIT, money only works as a motivator for basic needs.

Then money no longer works. In fact, it fails.

What REALLY works is something else...

Because the truth is: we are all looking for three things in life and in work:

1. More Autonomy

2. More Mastery

3. More Purpose.

With these things, we are the masters of our destiny. We enjoy our days. We enjoy what we do. We have purpose. We have freedom to do more of what we love. And we have the opportunity to align what we do with that thing, that authentic person, waiting to get out.

This short video explains it well...

UPDATE: After years in the making I'm excited to announce that my masterclass is almost ready for you.
