The closer you are to the finish line, the harder you push. In “Change” by Michael Lopez, this powerful insight explains why motivation isn’t constant—it builds as you get closer to achieving your goal. Research shows that we naturally work harder the closer we are to finishing, which is why getting started is often the hardest part. So if you’re struggling to stay motivated, maybe the real issue isn’t your drive—it’s your distance from the finish line. Instead of waiting for motivation, focus on momentum. Take the first step, and motivation will catch up. #neuroscience #habits #personalgrowth #bookrecommendations #nonfictionbooks

So grateful to the team at BookThinkers, for introducing me to Greg Martin, who hosts a fantastic podcast - "Lifetime at Work." After a decade as the #1 salesperson at a publicly traded company, this journey help me realize that the best deals aren’t just about closing—they're about connection with others. As a keynote speaker, sales coach, and former top executive, I'm fortunate to help countless leaders rethink how they build trust and long-term success - internally and externally. Greg and I share many of the same passions about how team cultures are built and how strong relationships are formed. I hope you give this episode a listen and also check out some of the other great conversations Greg has conducted with other guests. https://lnkd.in/e2gse3pt
