TEM Coaching Chat: The difference between motivation and inspiration

I am going to start streaming each week on Tuesdays on the TEM YouTube channel and TEM Facebook page with some thoughts on navigating a portfolio career.

This first one features my thoughts on the difference between motivation and inspiration (and why motivation is NOT the first step but the end result.)

And it also features about 30 seconds of me laying down some tuba at the very beginning of the stream.

Enjoy!

TEM86: Beware the external should's (TEM Short)

This TEM Short is in response to my interview with Dana Fonteneau in TEM85.

Are "external should's" holding you and your art back?

Topics Covered:

  • 1:35 - Why the word should is dangerous (and easier to spot in other people)

  • 5:27 - The example of my good friend and colleague Joanna Hersey and how she went against a strong "external should" and has thrived

  • 7:56 - An example mentioned previously by David Cutler about a "should" that steers an entire corner of the our industry

  • 10:34 - A good strategy to battle "should's"
