Daily Dose: Motivation 1.0

2 Comments 07 May 2012

From the Offices of L & L. Okay, it’s true. Princess LL knows how to push buttons. Especially the kind that get you creatively motivated.

Poor Lyla. Last weekend she was just about worn out from all the Daily Dose ideas dropped stealthily into her inbox. She finally declared happy exhaustion and said something that seemed awfully profound for managers everywhere to heed: “Your delight is a powerful motivator.”

All things considered, LL thinks Lyla should be thankful she didn’t ask her to do the Funny Hamster Dance…

Even delight, powerful though it may be, has its motivational limit.

There will be no hamster dance this morning.

If you had been here with the girls and I when we found this video, I suspect you may have been irresistibly drawn into the dance wheel. We were laughing so hard we could barely speak (but we were able to pull off a few hip moves

Wait a minute. Have you had your coffee yet? Is that why you’re holding back on the hamster moves?

Sponsor Poetry (& Happiness)

Every day at Tweetspeak we work hard to bring happiness and personal growth to our audience. Sure, it costs. We could talk about that in terms of what it takes to make a house downpayment, for instance (and not in South Dakota either, you betcha).

Or we could just say this: we do it happily. If you want to be part of that happiness in a small way, you could "Subscribe" for a year. Well, and that would make us happy too. Yep.

We aren't offering anything gimmicky in return. Just a chance to make us smile and keep us mortgage-free. And either way, Tweetspeak will be here for you every day.

We'd love to tweet or Facebook our thanks to you if you sponsor. (And that's no gimmick.) Just tell us not to if you prefer to stay secret.
