The Greatest Power

Quick Insight

“Extrinsic motivation reflects the desire to get more of something that we don’t feel we have enough of: money, approval, social standing, power, or even love. Intrinsic motivation grows out of the desire to engage in an activity because we value it for the inherent satisfaction it provides. Researchers have long found that intrinsic motivation tends to prompt more sustained energy.” – Jim Loerr and Tony Schwartz in The Power of Full Engagement

Intrinsic motivation provides more energy. Why is that important? Running a small business is a major commitment that requires massive energy. Identify and tap into your intrinsic motivation for the greatest power.
