I'm starting to see posts that seem to suggest that motivation should be all stick, no carrot. Brief back story: I resigned from a job 2 weeks ago and plan to spend the next 6 months networking and volunteering, working as close to part-time as possible just to pay the bills. " This is fantastic — and very true.

Notes from a grouchy networker Comments (58) Leave a Comment Hi Penelope, Interesting points about taking risks! Goes to show that whichever way we go sometimes, we wonder about the road not taken. Also, it takes a mature adult like you to admit she made a mistake, even on something as mundane as setting up wallpaper.

And sure, your alienation and that frustrating loss of direction and motivation hurts just as much physical pain does, and gets in the way of better intentions. So my blog there is called Free Beer.

If you inspire someone to do a good job you've internally motivated them and they'll likely exceed your expectations. If you order someone to do a good job, they likely will (if they're capable) but do no more, being externally motivated. I published another book in 2009 entitled "Incarnate Leadership."

Even if I manage to do that, I will not feel like I have accomplished something important today. And then, when it turns out that it really does mean sleep inducing I didn’t feel accomplished. Once you are drama free, you could actually focus on accomplishing more goals. Who puts a word like that in a picture caption?

I think I agree.

By the time you're close, you are so motivated to get there that it doesn't feel like work at all. When we see the big triumph its easy to get all motivated, but small things are which we need to keep on doing inspite of them being the most difficult to do. So I wrote that. And then I felt bad. So I tried to give an example.

Most people get jobs from their network, not from a career center. And social media is the fastest, most effective way for you to build a network. As a Gen-Y who stopped going to college I found that real life experiences, networks and self education were more important and vital than a college education for my career track.

Good managers will do their own recruiting by having their own great network. Penelope, your true and accomplished voice at this time is writing. thanks for all your inspiration and motivation. And managers already recruit through networks – at least in areas of short supply, or PAs who they take from job to job with them.

That’s, that’s why my 2009 when I started writing, I started shifting because everybody thinks that the path to productivity is better time management. I’m so excited.

I encourage the spending debate for entrepreneurs (internally and externally) to be about why to spend, what it accomplishes, how it simplifies, what's the return, etc.

" Some people need the excitement and sense of accomplishment that comes from having an interesting life. They might consider some of their actions "interesting", but the underlying motivation is competition. Now it's far more exciting and I've come to realize that happiness is possible. I'm happy now."

I've done a fair amount of reading on happiness, but when it comes down to doing the simple activities that various books suggest to increase your level of happiness (spend 10 minutes each night writing down what you're grateful for, for example), I can never motivate myself to do it. But I love this spin on it.

It is the motivating factor to get up by not having the morning routine. You're accomplishing herculean tasks few women ever think of attempting. But remember, your sons don't care about getting out the door on-time so you'll have to motivate them some other way. Then I leave early to get the kids. Don't.
