Are you motivated or are you driven?
I have heard these terms used a lot over the years. Have you ever wondered which one most defines you?
When I think of motivation I really tend to sort it into daily compartments. Each day I motivate myself to complete the tasks that I know will lead to my future success. Some tasks seem mundane for example, trying to figure out why the printer is not working, or the task of just picking up the phone can seem like a staggering exercise. You know, when the phone suddenly puts on a hundred extra pounds making it physically impossible for you to complete your prospecting calls!
Other activities are much more enjoyable such as previewing a house or speaking with a referral, these don’t seem like work at all! If I’m not motivated I will look for an inspirational post, such as Broker Bryant’s Move forward….Your future is waiting! I also like to seek out those folks that boost me up just by their positive attitude, focus and/or humor.
Being driven evokes a much stronger feeling, almost a hunger that keeps me focused on my long term goals. I personally find that drive is much stronger and much deeper than motivation. It comes from within. It’s my inner desire to succeed despite the setbacks that I encounter on a sometimes daily basis.
Personally I think drive most defines me…….I would love to hear your thoughts on this subject.

Ana- I think that I am both motivated and driven...motivated because of 5 little mouths at home and driven because of my goals and dreams I desire to fulfill!
