Initiative is the drive to do something without being told.  Not everyone has this talent.  I, for one, struggle with initiative and just getting going sometimes. Because I have my own business, people assume I am really motivated.   But I remind them that I’m really just a regular kid who would rather play than work a lot of times. Apparently, there are many adults like this also. I have come up with a way to motivate myself without being told to do something.

For most people getting started is the hard part.  I figured out that if you make a list of everything that needs to be done and just go down the list and start doing each thing, you will have your list gone in no time.  Once you start, it is easier to finish it.

Why am I telling you this? Well, there are many people who live their whole life just being told what to do.  Those people are not the ones running companies.  Unless you always want someone telling you what to do, try my method.  Initiative can go a long way.  Then be proud of your efforts.
