#97 - Why Motivation is Overrated (And What Actually Works)


Listen Later

Have you ever told yourself, I’ll start when I feel more motivated”—only to keep putting it off?

Do you ever wonder why some people seem to push through no matter what, while you’re stuck waiting for that elusive spark of motivation to finally kick in?

And here’s the big one—what if I told you that motivation isn’t actually the key to getting things done?

In this week’s episode of The Smarter Accountant Podcast, I’m breaking down why motivation is overrated—and what actually works instead. Because let’s be honest, if motivation were the answer, wouldn’t we all be crushing our to-do lists every single day?

The truth is, motivation is fleeting. It’s unreliable. And if you’re waiting for it to show up before you take action, you might be stuck waiting forever.

So what do the most productive accountants rely on instead?

Listen in and find out.

In this episode, I discuss:

✅ The Fleeting Nature of Motivation ✅ What’s More Effective Than Motivation? ✅ The Brain Science Behind Why Motivation is Overrated ✅ How To Build What Actually Works ✅ Becoming a Smarter Accountant: Successfully Managing His Workload Despite a Lack of Motivation ✅ Key Takeaway And Action Item

Tune in to The Smarter Accountant Podcast today and join the discussion about why motivation is overrated (and what actually works).
