The Bizarre Truth About Why Everything You Know About Motivation Is A Lie
Martin Ebongué
I built a $1M/year automated business & I'll teach you how to do the same ?
The shocking realization that your 'motivation' might be secretly sabotaging your success (and how to find your true driving force)
WHY MOST ENTREPRENEURS FAIL (AND IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK)
Everyone talks about finding your "why."
But they're missing the most dangerous trap that kills 90% of business dreams.
THE DANGEROUS ILLUSION
Let me tell you something nobody talks about when it comes to building a business.
Most people think they know their "why."
"I want to travel the world!"
"I want a big house!"
"I want financial freedom!"
But here's the truth - they're all lying to themselves.
MY WAKE-UP CALL
I thought I knew my "why" too.
For years, I told everyone I wanted to travel the world.
That was my big motivation. My driving force.
Or so I thought.
THE UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTH
Here's what I discovered after actually traveling the world:
It wasn't about travel at all.
I could stay in one place for years (like I do now in Bali).
The travel wasn't my real "why" - it was just a surface-level manifestation.
THE DEEPER REALITY
What I really wanted was choice.
The freedom to decide.
The ability to say "no" when something doesn't make sense.
This came from growing up in a culture where being one day older than someone meant you could boss them around.
WHY THIS MATTERS
Here's why getting this wrong is so dangerous:
A surface-level "why" won't sustain you when things get tough.
When your business hits obstacles (and it will), you need something deeper to keep you going.
THE TWO LEVELS OF MOTIVATION
There are two types of "why":
Surface Level:
Deep Level:
Want to build a business aligned with your true "why"?
THE SURFACE-LEVEL TRAP
Here's the problem with surface-level motivation:
It's easily influenced by others.
Everyone told me I wanted to travel because they saw me traveling a lot.
I believed them.
I made it part of my identity.
But it wasn't the real truth.
THE DEEPER TRUTH
Your real "why" comes from something deeper:
It's not what others tell you you want.
It's not what looks good on Instagram.
It's what drives you at your core.
HOW TO FIND YOUR REAL WHY
Start by questioning everything:
Why do you want that big house?
Is it really about the house?
Or is it about proving something to those who doubted you?
THE REVELATION PROCESS
Here's what happens when you dig deeper:

You start understanding your real motivations.
You see patterns in your behavior.
You recognize what truly drives you.
THE POWER OF AUTHENTICITY
When you find your real "why":
Ready to build a business aligned with your core values?
THE RESPECT PRINCIPLE
Take my story:
Growing up in Africa taught me deep respect for others.
But it also taught me I hated taking orders.
Understanding this changed how I build my businesses.
I don't give orders to my team.
I don't take orders from clients.
THE LIBERATION
Once you understand your real "why":
Your life becomes simpler.
Your decisions become easier.
Your path becomes clearer.
THE REAL CHALLENGE
Finding your true "why" takes time:
It's not a 5-minute exercise.
It's not what others tell you it should be.
It's a journey of self-discovery.
HOW TO START
Begin by questioning your current motivations:
Are they really yours?
Or are they what others told you to want?
What patterns do you see in your life?
THE TRANSFORMATION
When you find your real "why":
YOUR PATH FORWARD
Take time to find your real motivation:
Don't settle for surface-level wants.
Don't accept what others tell you you should want.
Look deeper into your patterns and experiences.
Ready to build a business aligned with your true purpose?
THE ULTIMATE TRUTH
Remember this:
You're the only one who truly knows yourself.
Only you've been with yourself 24/7 since the day you were born.
