What Motivates You?
Just a simple question with no simple answer: What motivates you?
As I’m learning the ropes of recruiting that is one of the subtle questions we look for and ask our candidates. Maybe not in direct terms, but in terms like the following: Why did you leave the job you are at or why are you job hunting? (If the answer is only money then we usually flag that as a sign the candidate might not be the right one we are looking for).
I even ask myself what motivates me. Is it only money? (it’s not) Is it the challenge? (partially) The ability to become financially independent and debt free? (very much so) or something else? (probably that too)
Ask yourself the next time you head into work. What motivates you? If you can’t find an answer maybe you need to think a little deeper and figure out what drives you. So many people are on autopilot today. Come in. Punch clock. Work. Punch out. Go home. Veg. Rinse and repeat. There’s more to life than that. Each and everyone of us has a purpose. The first is to glorify God and the second to love one another as Christ has loved us.
I’ve always been an on and off blogger. Writing doesn’t come naturally to me but I am motivated to keep this blog going because it improves my communication skills and forces me out of my comfort zone. That’s my motivation to keep things going. Even when I don’t feel like blogging I try to post something.
