Motivation Beyond Money
Tips and Tricks
Checkout our YouTube video on this at —
At the end of this article I will tell you one simple trick that I use to convince and change my thinking towards work for motivation beyond money
Also, feel free to let us know what causes you to sometimes get down that path where you end up only valuing your job for the money and forget other perks it provides for a brief moment ?
How do you find motivation beyond money in your workplace or anything you are doing ?
Sometimes I find myself wondering why am I doing this job ?
If it wasn’t for the money perhaps I would not do this 9–5..
But this attitude of thinking about your job is wrong!
First of all, there is much more than just money that your job provides.
Its not only the bills it takes care of, but also gives you stability and security — which is far more important that we think it is.
It gives us a peace of mind to enjoy other things, and we only realize it when its taken away from us, when we lose our job.
Humans think differently when they have things and when they don’t have them. The value in our mind for it changes. Suddenly, when we do not have that oven — we realize how much we miss baking
Starbucks may be an everyday thing for some of us — but when we do not see one in Italy or Africa (both places that I missed it), we realize how much we like it.
As usual, I decided to read multiple books to understand this more.
Some of the recommendations for the readers here are —
- Linchpin — by Seth Godin
This explains the critical role of a linchpin in the entire machinery, and how to become one — at your work.
How becoming a linchpin will increase your contribution, and make you enjoy your work even more!
2. No Excuses — The power of self discipline — by Brian Tracy
This talks about how your mind gives you resistance at different times for things, and how to overcome them. If you understand them before they come — you can counter them better and achieve your goals faster.

Once you become so good at your job that your peers rely on your for something — your contribution now has become bigger and you feel valued.
This also gives you the feeling of fulfillment just like Arnold Schwarzenegger says —
Think of your job as something you want to get very good at!
Just like Zig Ziglar says —
“If you don’t like your job, get very good at it. After that, either you will get promoted in your job or someone else will offer you a better job — eitherways, you will not have to do the job you dislike anymore” — Zig Ziglar
Now, the one trick that I use on myself is —
Add a sense of style in the way you do your job — so it gets your unique signature.
I knew of this waitress which did not like her job. So, to make it interesting she added her own flair onto how she was doing her job. She came up a funny way of talking to her customers and her customers loved it. This made her job fun for her, and soon because of amazing results — she was promoted to being a manager of that restaurant.
So, add your own signature and style to your job to make it interesting. That way, you no longer think of it as a drudgery by enjoy doing it.
Hope this provides some insights to readers.
Please feel free to let us know in the comments, if you have more tricks you have used before to get performance boost in something you did not like in the beginning.
Cheers!
