Being self‐motivated means that you do not depend on others to spark your drive to achieve but that you have the discipline and courage to set your own goals and to improve yourself. Being self‐motivated means you have a strong desire to work, to do a good job, to achieve, and to improve. Daniel Pink in his book Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us writes that there are three things that motivate people: autonomy, mastery, and purpose.¹⁸ People have an inherent motivation to get good at something, which, as Pink points out, is why after working hard on a job during the week, some people will spend the weekend practicing on their guitar because they are driven to improve. This craving for improvement is what drives self‐motivation.
