Two Blokes One Business
You're Being Lied To About Motivation (and It's Keeping You Stuck)
Ever wonder why some people seem endlessly driven? It’s not magic - it’s mindset, identity, and structure.
In this episode of Two Blokes One Business, we break down the biggest myth in the motivation world - that highly motivated people were born that way.
You’ll discover why motivation isn’t about hyping yourself up - it’s about mastering your entrepreneur mindset, designing systems for consistency, and understanding your internal drivers to unlock true, long-lasting discipline.
Whether you're building a recruiting business like us, scaling a startup, or just trying to hit your personal development goals, this episode delivers a motivation strategy that actually works.
Forget fleeting motivation.
We’re sharing the 3-part framework that powers real, sustainable success:
✅ Identity and Internal Drivers: Learn how to discover your real "why," and stop chasing goals that don’t align with your values. This is where true goal setting begins.
✅ Structure Over Hype: We show how to create micro-goals and a results-focused process that supports consistent output - especially important for anyone building a business or scaling their career.
✅ The Mental Game: Gain the confidence to make changes even when those around you resist. Learn why discipline beats motivation and how to push through fear, self-doubt, and social pressure.
We also dive into real stories from our journey - from young professionals to business owners, how we scaled from the kitchen table to a multi-division team, and what kept us moving when motivation dipped.
Discover the psychology behind motivation, the impact of habit stacking, and practical ways to build self-discipline that actually sticks.
