Find the Fire - by Scott Mautz (Paperback)

About the Book

Is the mojo gone at work? Learn how to rekindle the inspiration you once had, and do so not just for your work performance but for your own well-being!

Book Synopsis

Wouldn't you love to feel as engaged and energized as you were on day one? The key is to quit waiting for it to happen and take control of the process yourself.

Once upon a time, you probably learned the thrill of a good day's work and were inspired to work harder and accomplish more. Then the honeymoon ended, burnout set in, and you began going through the motions uninspired.?

In Find the Fire, discover how you can shake off the malaise and dial up the motivation. Whether you're wrestling with fear, disconnectedness, boredom, lack of creative outlets, overwhelm, or other issues, you will find applicable insights, exercises, inspiring stories, checklists, and more as you learn about the nine forces that drain inspiration.

In this compelling book, you will learn how to:

• reconnect with your coworkers and managers,
• boost your self-confidence and personal presence,
• and how to stay in control during tough times.

Discover how to empower yourself, not waiting for others to fill that need, and how you can still produce work you're proud of, even after many years of performing the same tasks.

You've probably been asking yourself lately what inspires you now. But the more applicable question is, how did you lose the inspiration you once had in the first place? Learn to find that again.
