Negative Motivators Can Assist Your Success

We have all heard about positive motivators but what are negative motivators?

In Bill Bartmann’s goal setting webinar he talks about negative motivators. That you can have both positive and negative influences that help you reach your goal. He explained that when he was going through college that he had people that told him that he was no good and that he wouldn’t make it.

What he then did was took a 3×5 index card and wrote their name on it and put it up above his desk where he would see it often. When he was having a hard time and it seemed like obstacles were staring him down he would look up and see their name on the 3×5 index card and it would give him the fire, passion, and the emotions he felt when they told him that that helped him to be motivated to keep on working.
