27. The importance of finding your why

Oct 02, 2020

EPISODE 27: With every new business venture or a creative idea, we usually charge forward, powered by sheer enthusiasm. But this initial burst of energy soon wears off. Without a foundation of intrinsic motivation driving them, many good projects fall by the wayside.

The word motivation hides the clue. If you lack a motive, you will eventually run out of motivation.

Apple founder Steve Jobs wanted to make a dent in the universe, so this allowed him to pivot from computers to animated feature films to iPhones and iPads. It didn’t matter which company he worked for at the time, his his primary motivation never changed.
