The Motivation Trick I Wish I Knew Sooner

About this episode

In this episode, Coach Will discusses a powerful mindset shift for motivation that can help listeners take action and overcome procrastination.

Want to get motivated—even when you don’t feel like it? In this episode, I break down a simple mindset shift that completely changed how I take action. Most people rely on “pull motivation” (thinking about their goals), but there’s a second type that’s way more powerful—and almost no one talks about it. From school to the gym to everyday habits, I’ll show you how to use this to stop procrastinating and start moving. Plus, I’ll walk you through three questions you can use immediately to create real urgency. So… what’s the cost of doing nothing?
