It’s Never Too Late to Change Your Stripes.

Waking up every morning feeling like someone ran over me with a truck, I would mumble to myself, “Why am I not retired and sleeping in!”. Here I was in my late 50’s working 12 to 14 hour days and quite honestly a little burnt out on what I was doing. I pop in the shower and then caffeinate a little in an effort to put that negativity aside. Sound familiar? It was time to change my stripes.

How to Motivate. You can’t.

We are all trying to stay motivated, motivating others, right? Training, meetings, one on ones, rewards, bonuses, spiffs and the list goes on. We even go to the negative with imposed pressure, tensions and ultimatums to motivate. How has that worked for you? Long-term? If you’re like me it didn’t. I needed to change something. Was it me or them? And then it hit me… everyone is already motivated.
