Motivation Myth

<b>From Inc.com's most popular columnist a counterintuitive--but highly practical--guide to finding and maintaining the motivation to achieve great things.</b><br> <b> </b><br> It's comforting to imagine that superstars in their fields were just born better equipped than the rest of us. When a co-worker loses 20 pounds or a friend runs a marathon while completing a huge project at work we assume they have more grit more willpower more innate talent and above all more motivation to see their goals through. <p/> But that's not at actually true as popular Inc.com columnist Jeff Haden proves. Motivation as we know it is a myth. Motivation isn't the special sauce that we require at the beginning of any major change. In fact motivation is a <i>result </i>of process not a cause. Understanding this will change the way you approach any obstacle or big goal. <p/> Haden shows us how to reframe our thinking about the relationship of motivation to success. He meets us at our level--at the beginning of any big goal we have for our lives a little anxious and unsure about our way forward a little burned by self help books and strategies that have failed us in the past--and offers practical advice that anyone can use to stop stalling and start working on those dreams. <p/> Haden takes the mystery out of accomplishment proving that success isn't about spiritual awakening or a lightning bolt of inspiration --as Tony Robbins and adherents of The Secret believe--but instead about clear and repeatable processes. Using his own advice Haden has consistently drawn 2 million readers a month to his posts completed a 107-mile long mountain bike race and lost 10 pounds in a month. <p/> Success isn't for the uniquely-qualified; it's possible for any person who understands the true nature of motivation. Jeff Haden can help you transcend average and make lasting positive change in your life.
