Staying Motivated: Insights from Dynamic Drive by Molly Fletcher

This week, I picked up Dynamic Drive by Molly Fletcher , and it really got me thinking. You know those times when you read something that just clicks?

That’s what this book did for me. It reminded me of a lot of things I’ve been wanting to work on—both in my life and at work.

What I Learned About Staying Motivated

One of the biggest things Molly talks about is staying curious. It’s so easy to get stuck in the daily grind and feel like you’re just going through the motions.

But when you start asking, “What can I learn from this?”—it really shifts how you see things.

I’ve been trying this out lately. Instead of ending my day stressed about what I didn’t finish, I’ve started asking, “What went well today?” Honestly, it helps me end the day on a better note, even when it’s been a tough one.

How I’m Putting This Into My Life

I’m someone who looks at a big project and feels overwhelmed. Molly’s advice on breaking things into small steps really hit me.

It’s such a simple idea, but we forget it all the time.

Now, I’m focusing on the small wins—like finally getting that email sent or reaching out to someone I’ve been meaning to talk to.

It’s funny how those little things can make a big difference and help keep you going.

What Makes a Great Leader

Molly’s take on leadership made me think a lot. She says that real leaders aren’t the loudest in the room.

They’re the ones who listen, adjust when needed, and care about the people around them.

This hit home for me. Whether it’s at work or with my family, I’m trying to be more present, really listen, and show the people around me that they matter.

That’s the kind of person I want to be.

My Final Thoughts

At the end of the day, Dynamic Drive reminded me that growth isn’t about some perfect end goal.

It’s about showing up, staying curious, and keeping that spark alive, even when things get tough.
