Finding Work Motivation and Inspiration:
Resources To Get You There...

Finding work motivation and inspiration is possible, but only if you cover these two areas first:

1. First, you must re-work the idea that work is only drudgery. If you don't believe that finding motivation and inspiration in your work is possible, you'll never find it.


2. Next, you must become very knowledgeable about the subject of YOU. You must be able to name, claim and own your strengths, your values, your interests, your talents and your blind spots.

This page, and in fact this entire website, is designed to help you re-work your belief around your work life (Yes, waking up eager more often IS possible) and to help you deepen your appreciation, to fully embrace, ALL of your talents and development opportunities.

This work motivation resource is my favorite. I found it (SBI) late last year and it's changed my entire business model and life.

This resource is helping me Wake Up Eager every day.

I write about how I found the SBI resource and talk about how its founder demonstrates good leadership skills, here.

I found this statement about perfect and energizing work over 10 years ago. For a long time, I read it every day.

I used it to help me re-work my beliefs about work. It became sort of a mantra for me.

When you're tuned to your intrinsic motivations and inspirations THIS is what it looks like and feels like:

Many people are not finding or feeling this kind of work motivation and inspiration.

Why?

Not because its not possible, but because they've never started or have stopped looking, listening, clarifying and asking about their own intrinsic motivations.

It is one important step in the process of clarifying what's important to you. The first step is to actually figure out the essence of what is perfect for you.

I created my own worksheet years ago. I carried it around with me and added nuances, ideas, insights and examples from the people I met and from my own experiences.
