Motive Actions

Some Questions ...

What gets you up in the morning?

What lights your fire?

What will make you drop everything and do it?

What are your Hot Buttons?

What are your dreams and burning ambitions?


I ask many people this and they struggle to give me an answer. Whether it is why they have attended a workshop or perhaps a longer term life goal, they have trouble in saying why they are doing what they are doing and where they are going.

No wonder only about 3% ever achieve their life dreams.

Oh sure, many say they are OK, that life is "fine", ...... "can't complain" "mustn't grumble"... you've heard them too. Because these people have accepted their lot. They've essentially 'given up'. resigned to a life of 'ordinaryness'. Mundane, meaningless without any ambition.

He's Done It!

Wow ... I hear that on July 11 2006, the One Red Paperclip guy, Kyle MacDonald, traded for a house.

He bagan with one red paperclip on July 12 2005 and on July 12, 2006 (14 trades later), he planned to trade for a house located at 503 Main Street, trading with the Town of Kipling Saskatchewan . Click the link above (right click and open in new window, of course) to see the story and then chain.

How did this happen?

The simplicity, the focus and a clear end goal provided the motivation necessary. And that worked - just like magic! Alchemy.

The whimsical element gave it legs and captured the imagination of others who were keen to assist in helping Kyle achieve his goal.

You don't have to be so outrageous nor do you have to make such a massive leap but you can still use the principles involved to set and get a goal, achieve your dream.

SO ... what is your paperclip and what will you attempt to do with it?
