By now, as you revise your career planning, I am hoping you have realised that it takes more than money to motivate you. Most people don’t realise this and think that if they earn enough money then everything will work itself out – It’s not true.
One of the reasons you may keep believing this is because lots of companies want you to believe it. It’s in their interests. These are the kind of companies whose job adverts should read
“This jobs pretty crap, no fun and really hard work, so we give you a big salary to compensate”
I think lots of companies actually believe it too.
However you know that it takes way more than money to find your ideal career.
Here is a great we video that explains motivation in a very cool and interesting way. Fascinating.

I have decided that I am tired of seeing jobs which ask if you are driven. I should answer, ‘driven where?’ I cannot stand the hyperbole. It is so false and meaningless to me. What I can understand is doing a job and if I like it or not.
I agree that motivation means everything.
However in the meantime, in realtime, I feel like I have to make some sort of Faustian pact just to get a job in order to survive now . What I want IS a dream job but it isn’t just around the corner today.
this video was absolutely wonderful! We to run a site which deals with, career, aptitude and personality tests. Check out my site and if you like it, how about adding a link to our site in your resources section.
Thanks.
I loved the drawing, with the narative over the top. Nice idea
Thanks Nik. I keep experimenting to see what format people like best; it’s a personality thing
It’s nice to get your feedback.
Great video isn’t it? Much to think about. I found it a bit tricky to find your link to it in your post though I eventually clicked on ‘career planning’ in blue
