Episode 3485: Jackie Beck explains that what most people call motivation is actually short-lived inspiration, while real motivation is the deeper reason behind why you want change. By clearly defining how life will improve, less stress, better sleep, stronger relationships, you can stay committed even when excitement fades. Focusing on that deeper purpose helps you persist through setbacks and permanently change your financial habits.

Well, neither does bathing, that’s why we recommend it daily.” “Real motivation does last, because your motivation is the reason behind why you’re doing something.” “You don’t have to feel excited and inspired all the time. You just have to keep moving forward and doing the work, while you keep your reason in sight.” Episode references: Zig Ziglar: https://www.ziglar.com Learn more about your ad choices.
