Are You Motivated By Potential Loss or Gain?

Some of us are motivated by the potential of LOSS, whereas others of us are motivated by the potential of GAIN.    If you’re motivated by AVOIDING LOSS, you may be a terrific candidate for an app like Stikk. You can read more about it below: All About Stikk “.. Stikk works by helping people eliminate this gap (between having a goal and achieving it) by using, what we call, a Commitment Contract. A Commitment Contract is a binding agreement you sign with yourself to ensure that you follow through with your intentions—and it does this by utilizing the psychological power of loss aversion and accountability to drive behavior change. By asking our users to sign Commitment Contracts, Stikk helps users define their goal (whatever it may be), acknowledge what it’ll take to accomplish it, and leverage the power of putting money on the line to turn that goal into a reality.” If you’re motivated by ENSURING GAIN, you might need to build REWARDS into your goal-achieving process.  I invite you to consider these questions: When do you notice being motivated by fear of LOSS? When do you notice being motivated by the hope of GAIN? How can you use this tendency to build in accountability to your goal-achieving habit? What are you thinking when you’re working towards a goal? Does it serve you to think this? What are you feeling when you’re working towards a goal? Does it serve you to feel this? What are you actually doing when you’re working towards a goal? Does it serve you to take these steps? Are they actionable?   I invite you to click on the link below to book your complimentary happy hour call: Chat with Terri...    SUBSCRIBE to my weekly Wednesday newsletter… it’s more of a mini-course intended to intoxicate your self-awareness, satisfaction, and success.  www.terribradway.com/newsletter   When it comes to podcasting, the best way to “tip the bartender” is by heading over to Apple Podcasts and leaving a 5-star review.
