You cannot motivate people into greatness. I stopped trying years ago. - go.mindvalley.com/1jqOnPHg
Motivation fades by lunchtime. Identity doesn't. Give someone an identity, and they'll do the hard thing on their own, no push from you required.
I watched this run through my whole company once. It started with one person, Jimmy Naraine, who simply decided he was a Spartan. Not a goal. An identity. And identity is contagious. It jumped from him to my team, and people started doing things no manager could ever have talked them into. Finishing a race through a typhoon. Skipping lunch to knock out 500 pushups mid-workday. Nobody made them. They'd just become the kind of people who don't back down.
This is the piece almost everyone misses when they try to lead, or teach, or build a course that actually lands. You don't transform people by handing them information. You transform them by handing them an identity to step into.
That principle is the whole reason Jimmy's courses change people, and it's exactly what he and I teach in our free masterclass for anyone building one of their own.
