The Carat, the stick and the lemon…
Motivation is a strange concept isn’t it?
Why would you be doing something you don’t want to do in the first place?
I guess most people will be thinking of their job at work, or household chores (like washing up) that just have to be done.
But on their own, none of these are large tasks which would take that much time or effort. The only furony comes when we put them off and put them off, and it all mounts up. Suddenly we need to hire a firm of contractors to solve the problem mountain that we have let fester.
I think there are two concepts behind this and they contradict each other!
Firstly that we don’t see the value in doing these minor tasks. They are a chore, a necessary but unwanted distraction, from something else.So the reason to be motivated to do them, stems from the same reason they exist. They form part of a bigger picture. Only if you appreciate that there is a bigger picture and what part this task plays in it, can we hope to become motivated about it.
So if waxing your legs means you may meat your soul mate, who just happens to a millionaire, a fantastic lover and the most caring and loving person you have ever met, waxing your legs and going ouch a bit, may be a fair trade…
So the bigger picture is needed to sustain enthusiasm (or even tolerance) for menial tasks.
It’s a similar situation for the checkout staff in the supermarket. You can think of it as YET ANOTHER pack of leg wax to scan through the till, for yet another annoying customer, or you can think of what that leg was may be bringing that person, and how even this simple transaction could be contributing immensely to their love life.
Plus the fact that once the checkout person doesn’t look fed up and as if they are an axe murderer in their lunch time, then suddenly the annoying customer isn’t annoying any more and may suddenly smile, or chat or say thank you and not treat the checkout person like something they have just trodden in.
So motivation can work in several ways and have a global viral effect.
In the next part, we’ll look at the contradiction and what the lemon has to do with anything…

I don’t think that is true. A smart business would maximize the value of its human capital by using both mechanisms. For example: A group of auto mechanics could be rewarded an extra 100 bucks for perfectly following tire change procedure each week, and they could be allowed eight to ten hours of work time every week to do whatever they want to improve the shop. This allows folks with direct domain expertise to drive efficiency into the business.
The stakes are always different. It doesn’t mean that the tactics stop working.

What bothers me about Tony Robbins is that in all of his talks, he jumps all over the place and just goes on and on until the meaning gets lost. I just finished watching Dean Ornish’s talk and it’s exactly the opposite. The thing about Robbins is that he seems very excited or passionate about his work though and seeing someone like that is very infectious and draws you in. It’s too bad his conversations are all over the place.
