Why are some people so motivated and others aren’t?

Why do some people seem to have “it”—grit, willpower, conscientiousness, whatever you call it—and others don’t?

Were they born with it? Did they develop it through training? Does it have to do with them finding and pursuing their “true calling”? Or is there some other explanation?

Today’s guest, Jeff Haden, is going to address these questions and more.

Jeff has been a popular columnist on Inc.com for years, and he’s spent much of his professional life researching and writing on the topics of success and motivation.

In his new book The Motivation Myth: How High Achievers Really Set Themselves Up to Win, Jeff argues that motivation doesn’t come from luck or genes, but from something much simpler and more practical: small wins.

More specifically, Jeff believes the best way to get and stay motivated is to set goals, and then, more importantly, to create a process that allows you to experience and celebrate regular small wins along the way, and I completely agree.
