The truth is, I'm not really motivated and I know how important this subject is. I know how much better (and more efficient) I work if I am more motivated and when I look at how my company handles this I can't help but wonder how they've maneged to become as successful as they are (no, I'm not telling you where I work). I think that the most important thing (for me at least) is that I want them to keep me in the loop. If I know exactly what I'm working towards and can clearly see and envision the end product, I can actually enjoy working. I do. And if I have to stay a bit longer that day, it's not nearly as difficult. I just wish my boss would read this, but there's not way I'm sending him the link. Well... back to work.

In that time, we’ve been lucky enough to receive mass amounts of support from not only Millennials, but from Boomers and X-ers in the blogosphere. I’d especially like to thank Penelope Trunk at Brazen Careerist for giving us the weekly Twenty-Something slot on her site every Monday.
