The Feedback Loop: How to fire your PASSION and MOTIVATION

[MJ DeMarco]

I don't discuss this in The Millionaire Fastlane , but I do in Unscripted .

It's the concept of the FEEDBACK LOOP and how it generates passion and motivation.

Passion tends to FOLLOW, not LEAD.

While you can be passionate about projects and goals, ultimately the FEEDBACK LOOP is what keeps that passion fired and/or growing.

"Follow your passion" and "do what you love" is bad business advice.

I thought it was time to fully dissect these two syrupy platitudes.

So now anytime I hear the shit-turd "follow your passion" I can send this video.

(And this video also covers Steve Job's use of the phrase "love what you do.")

Not bad, i hadn't ever considered feedback as a positive (emotional) reïnforcement.

however, i did kinda miss the part of merit of enjoying what you do,
maybe that's because you write explicitly to (potential) entrepeneurs,
but i kinda missed the "make sure you can sustain this kind of work(for X time)
without starting to hate it"

oww, here's a nice catch-phrase:
"people love spending money, not earning it"
