A theory of motivation to try now

A good motivation theory has to acknowledge the fact that each of us get motivated differently. In the practice of neuro-linguistic programming or "NLP" this takes into account in many ways. One of the most useful PLN theories is the concept of "outside - in" and "towards" personalities. Of course, each of us has two modes of operation as part of the way in which we work, but often one is dominant in each one of us. Those that dominates the motivation "towards" will be more affected by thoughts of future rewards. Those with a mainly "outside-in" style motivational, will be more affected by thoughts of escaping from problems or pain. Why not use this test to get an idea of the motivational style dominates your personality? I just read the following two descriptions of what they have millions of dollars could mean for you.

1. You are safe and secure. You never have to return to her job or do something you don't want to do. Means you have to remove most of your problems easily. It has all that you need to be free and comfortable.

2. You have also the favorite House of your dreams and your car. Buy what you want it, and your friends, and do what you want. You have the means to achieve any of its objectives. If the first description is more compelling to you, mainly has a "distance-" personality. If you feel more motivated by the description of the second, has a personality "towards". There are good and bad points to both types. "Towards" individuals make good entrepreneurs, for example, but often have problems because they do not plan it sufficiently well how to avoid problems. "Distance-of" individuals manage things well and avoid problems, but not in great goals. Then, how to use this theory of motivation and this knowledge from you to your best advantage? Suppose you want to make more money, and you are a person "to". Would you like to imagine the things you can buy and do with that money, but also note that you might pass high on problems. If you are a "far - of" person, you must continually remind that a disaster is if an error occurs. Otherwise you will lose their motivation to reach a certain level of comfort. Of course, when you understand these two styles of motivation, also can influence others more easily. If you want to sell a new car to someone, for example, you would determine if you are motivated away from things or things. For the first, could you explain how this new car will mean no more used car nuisance, or how to make life easier. For the latter, would explain how great await you in it, or what you can do. You can play with this theory and the practice of using this knowledge to influence others, but don't forget to influence yourself. Although it is useful to understand and influence others, it is a theory of motivation which better serves to affect their own self-help.
