Tiny Leaps, Big Changes

In this episode of the podcast, we are talking about motivation. My goal with this show is not to be an “expert” but to share with you my real life and the things that I struggle with in order to help you grow. This is a topic that I have been thinking a lot about. What IS motivation?

You can get motivation everywhere nowadays but the problem is, what do we do with it? How do we get the most out of this resource that we have at our fingertips? In this episode I share with you my thoughts about the topic and how you can get the most out of motivation in your own life.

In this episode you will learn:

• The three times you need to pull from motivation (to get the most out of it)
• When motivation is NOT valuable and a waste of your time
• How motivation can best be used to augment action

Episode Notes:

The economy, our income, and our spending power

"Your income determines how much you can afford to allocate to different needs and wants. Most of us need a place to live, transportation and a certain amount of food. Economists refer to these as basic needs, which tend to get first priority. Your income is limited, whether it comes from traditional employment, self-employment or a combination of these -- even if you're a billionaire. Of course, someone who has a lower income will tend to spend a higher percentage on basic needs because they have to. Households with higher incomes can afford to allocate more of their incomes, as a percentage and in absolute dollar terms, to discretionary purchases."

Economic development and individual and social behavior

"Several studies previously pointed out that for many people unemployment leads to deterioration of mental state, increased anxiety, depression, decreased life satisfaction and overall indifference."

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

"This five-stage model can be divided into deficiency needs and growth needs. The first four levels are often referred to as deficiency needs (D-needs), and the top level is known as growth or being needs (B-needs).

Deficiency needs arise due to deprivation and are said to motivate people when they are unmet. Also, the motivation to fulfill such needs will become stronger the longer the duration they are denied. For example, the longer a person goes without food, the more hungry they will become."
