Description

In this episode, I explored a framework from Nir Eyal's new book, Beyond Belief, called the Motivation Triangle. Most people think motivation is about behavior and benefit—the actions you take and the outcomes you want. But that misses the most critical component: Belief. Without it, the other two collapse.


The lesson? Take a few minutes this weekend to audit your core beliefs about who you are and what you're capable of. Your beliefs have the power to shape your entire reality.


Choose wisely...
