About this episode
This week, Steve and Matt discuss how to get motivated and stay motivated. It's easy to lose that fire inside and become exhausted through the rigors and routine of everyday life. Every now and then, you need to draw from different sources to become invigorated and motivated again.
In this episode we talk about four common sources of motivation:
- Motivation from failure
- Motivation from regret
- Motivation from inspiration
- Motivation from necessity.
