Work Just Doesn't Motivate Me.
Q: I am a happily married man in my mid-forties with
three young children.
During my career, I have built a successful
business and accumulated enough wealth so that I have no
worries about money. My
problem is that I really don't know what motivates me
anymore.
I have read articles on job motivation, but none of the
traditional types of motivators -- like achievement,
social interaction, or service to others -- seems to
apply to me.
The only thing I really care about is making my wife
happy and providing love, support, and economic
certainty for my family.
I greatly enjoy sports and other typical male
activities, but I find it difficult to get excited about
work. Can
you help me figure out what I'm missing?
