[ life is hard. let's all deal with that fact together. ]

What exactly is a personal motivator meant to do?

Are people truly confused enough by their own pitiful, lackluster intentions that they're willing to seek others supposed professional help simply so they can carry on with routine tasks?

Is this motivation meant to include every act of waking life (dare say I need not list what these are) or simply those that might be perceived as more strenuous. Because, as I have always found, personal motivation can truly only come from one source. You. It is called personal after all, the definition of the word implying that it has to do with one person and one person alone. And that person would not be the person you hired to tell you what you so obviously would rather not be doing in the first place.

If you require the motivation, perhaps you need look elsewhere. Forsake things all together. Or even, if you'd like the inspiration so very much, you might try finding it for yourself. I've heard there are some rather plentiful benefits to taking that sort of thing under your own wing, compared to allowing others to push you into behaviors you don't truly have interest in to begin with.

It's amazing our ancestors made it anywhere, really.

Now, perhaps if you'd like to get hypothetical and claim there are a number of other 'personal motivators' then perhaps you might be on a far better track.

A process somewhat easier done off network.

There are...some places where that could be appropriate. You may need to hunt them down, do your research.

I've found research usually pays for itself if you make it worth your time. Besides, without putting in the footwork, you can't expect anyone to to take your interests seriously.

Precisely that. If you come to those that hold power like that, you'll find that the initiative goes a long way toward impressing them.

As long as you make it worth their time.

I've spent numerous years becoming exceptionally good at making myself worth my boss' time.

And are you looking for a new one here? Or are you looking to strike out on your own?

It would depend on a number of factors, though I could potentially see myself working for the right person.

And who would be the right person, I wonder?

Someone providing employment, to start with.

Followed neatly by a host of work that could be considered stimulating and might require a variety of skillsets. And perhaps take value in additional... motivationally inspired outlets.

High standards, then? I suppose you'll have to start with the nightclubs, if you want something that varied. In my experience, they often show the most...variety.
