How to Stay Motivated as a Founder: A Psychologist's Framework
From the video description
How do you stay motivated as a founder when the business is fine but you're running on empty? Founder motivation runs deeper than how you feel each morning, and when it falls out of sync with what your company needs, that's where burnout starts. Clinical psychologist Dr. Sherry Walling calls this a mental health talk wrapped in a motivation talk. Speaking at MicroConf US 2024 in Atlanta, she separates motivation from emotion, explains how personal history, personality, and neurology shape what drives you, and introduces seven motivation archetypes drawn from her work with founders. She closes with what to do when your motivation and your business stop pulling in the same direction.
