What Motivates You?
Are you motivated by the work, or the gain?
Some people find fulfillment in the work itself and not on what they earn. It does not mean that they’re working for free but they get more satisfaction in their work rather from the pay they receive. Many can afford to retire but choose to continue because they do enjoy what they’re doing and having to stop means cutting off their means of expression.
You’re satisfied when you’ve closed a sale because you met your objective. You get paid but you derive satisfaction more because you feel good you’ve done the job and the pay is just an added perk.
