When thinking of self improvement or business improvement, do you motivate yourself with a big stick or a tasty healthy carrot?

Fear is a motivator that has it's place but for me personally I would rather be motivated by the positive outcome.

In any area it is better to be positive than negative, it is always worth looking at the negative outcome but never to stay there, keep working on moving past that and on to something more positive.

Are you a carrot or a stick?

I would live to hear your opinions and the opinions of the people around you.
