What I Discuss In This Episode On the Ways to Stay motivated and the science of motivation

Finding motivation can be challenging whether you’re a student, athlete, soldier, leader, or entrepreneur. Our ability to stay motivated is essential to success, yet it can be tricky to tackle. Sometimes I find it really easy to get motivated, and I feel like I am heading downhill. Other times, I find it nearly impossible to stay motivated and become trapped in the zone of perseverance.
