M is for Motivation

This week on the Building Championship Mindsets podcast, Dr. Selking discusses motivation. She shares the story behind her daughter Elleeanna’s name and how it represents the legacy of her family. Dr. Selking explores the definition of motivation and its role in initiating, continuing, or terminating behaviors. She emphasizes the importance of setting goals and aligning actions with what truly matters to us. Dr. Selking also highlights the reality of motivation, which is often about making choices and being accountable rather than relying on constant feelings of motivation.
