How to Motivate Someone #4 - The triangle in action

All you need to remember about motivating someone is in this triangle.

• Their resources – what you want them to use or give to achieve the goal.
• The goal itself. This is either your goal for them, or their goal for themselves.
• And their personal values. The more important the value is for them, the better.
  

Your job is to link the resources to the goal that includes their personal value or values.

The result is motivation.

Not so difficult is it?
Why do so many people find it difficult to motivate themselves or others?
In our experience, this is simply due to two things:

1. They only focus on linking the resources to the goal.
2. They have not bothered to find out the values of the other person. Even, they have not bothered to find out what they themselves value.

That's not going to be you now is it?
