OTO Episode 70: The Matthew Effect
Manage episode 305853769 series 2681084
Fostering motivation for personal development is one of the key values of OTO.
Creating an environment of momentum, one that motivates you to continue your development is key to experiencing long term success in this endeavor.
As a listener to this podcast, you're likely among the 20% of individuals that are doing 80% of the creative work in our industry. But finding the motivation to continue this task, continue this work, is incredibly hard.
This is where the Matthew Effect is critical. The Matthew Effect originates from a bible verse:
“FOR UNTO EVERYONE THAT HATH SHALL BE GIVEN, AND HE SHALL HAVE ABUNDANCE. BUT FROM HIM THAT HATH NOT SHALL BE TAKEN AWAY EVEN THAT WHICH HE”
This means that if we can begin to create an environment of winning, of success and of personal growth we are more likely to see a continuation of that growth.
This podcast will go deeper into the Matthew Effect, the research that surrounds it and ways you can begin to harness it. At the end I even include 6 ways that I've personally used to jump start this effect, even when I am at my nadir of personal development motivation.
