[Q&A] What Motivates You? Money.

"How do you keep yourself motivated?" We recently had this question submitted on one of our weekly Bosses & Breakfast Live Q&A's. It can sometimes be taboo to talk about how money can be such a huge motivator in business. We had such a great chat about this on Bosses & Breakfast that we decided to share it with you here on the podcast! Let's break down that wall and talk about how money is a motivator, and why that's ok!
