When I think about people and their motivation in the realm of work, I think of three categories. The first is a group of people whom we can call ‘employees’ just for the sake of this conversation. There’s nothing wrong with being an employee, by the way, they could very well be business owners. No matter whether they are an hourly wage worker, or if they make a substantial salary, their mindset is to see themselves as “someone who’s making a living,” often to support themselves or to provide for their family. Work is a means to an end, and the end is always outside of work.
