answers and instant results will make them happier, which they do... for a few seconds or minutes. Easy come, easy go. Fulfillment, a more enduring form of feeling good, comes from using all your talents and growing through challenge. The company’s job is to create a supportive environment. Extra vacation days and ping pong tables can create temporary happiness. But – being supportive also means challenging you, pushing you to improve yourself as a person, to better create enduring happiness. In that way, actually, the company should be like a parent… HOW TO MOTIVATE YOURSELF Everyone struggles with motivation. Well, maybe except 0.1% of us who are mutants like Elon Musk. But that’s not me. I am very, very human. And like you, I suffer from procrastination, perfectionism, confusion and erratic motivation. What, you say? “Aaron, you went from 0 to 9 kids while publishing multiple books, grew your income by leaps, released a Predictable Revenue software product, while (usually) working 20­30 hours a week. And you say you get confused and are erratically motivated?!” Authentic busyness: With lots of kids, whom I love playing with, and a growing business that must keep growing, I‘m always tired. Physically, emotionally, mentally. Overwhelm: I’m conflicted about what to spend time on, with so many irons in the fire at home and work. Resistance: Fear, doubt, uncertainty, perfectionism – I experience them all, too. Like you, I have bills to pay – which somehow keep growing as fast as my income! – and still­bigger dreams to chase. If there was one thing (though there’s never “one” thing) that has propelled this growth and bulldozed through my busyness, confusion, etc. –it’ s that I create constant, and challenging, Forcing Functions for myself. They became my source of predictable motivation. Thanks for reading our summary of "From Impossible to Inevitable: How Hyper­Growth Companies Create Predictable Revenue" Sponsored by CARB.IO.
