Quiet Ambition: Motivation & Goal Setting for Introverts

We’ve all been there: frustrated by our lack of progress and willpower, we promise that THIS TIME will be different!

We get motivated, make all kinds of preparations, but the fire quickly fizzles. This repeated failure sucks a lot. But let me say this loud and clear: it's not our fault!

I know that sounds like a cop-out, but the reality is that we’ve been misled about what progress really requires. The typical person giving advice is an easily motivated extravert who doesn't know what it feels like to struggle. Our problems are mostly theoretical to them, and so they don’t know how to teach the stuff that’s important to us.

“Just Do It” is NOT helpful for sensitive people who need to both think and feel their way through a challenge.
