Motivating the Unmotivated



Today I want to share with you the great resource of Micheal Burt.  If you are looking for a great podcast, website, or TV show then this is your guy.  He is high energy, entertaining, and informative.
Coach Burt believe everyone needs a coach in life. We need coaches to force us to have conversations we don't want to have, make us do things we don't want to do, and to help us become something we do not think we can become.  He believes a coach can help bring focus to our confusion, clarity to our misdirection, and confidence to our insecurity.

To Motivate is to Move.

One of 3 things missing for the unmotivated
1. Knowledge
2. Know how
3. Want to
 "If you have a want to you can find a how to."


4 things that motivate people from Daniel Pink's book Drive
1. Purpose
2. Progress
3. Mastery
4. Autonomy

How to implement
Purpose: help people find their voice.
Progress: Pain and progress pendulum must swing.  Complacency is when there is not enough pain to force into progress. Don't be tolerant of complacency. Set goals and measure/track progress.
Mastery: how do you become a resource for people.
Autonomy: speak the language of results.

5 things that demotivate people
1. Personal heartbreak and transition.
     3 Transitions are:
        a. Ending of something you love
        b. Disorientation: you are low on swag & go back to old ways & doing things the easy way
        c. New beginning
2. On the wrong bus in life.
3. Bad culture. Cultures need expectations and accountability.
4. Fatigue if you are in burn out or mechanical mode.
5. Complacency-biggest emotional cancer.
