Identification of motivators (20 minutes): reflect on the nine motivators proposed in the Moving Motivators (Curiosity, Honor, Mastery, Power, Relationships, Acceptance, Freedom, Order and Purpose) and write down those that you consider most important to you.

Reflection tips
Think about how your motivators influence your daily actions and decisions. For example, if "Curiosity" is one of your main motivators, you might find that you are always looking to learn new things or explore different ideas. You can use this motivator to fuel your entrepreneurial spirit by researching new market trends or experimenting with innovative ideas in your project. This will not only keep you motivated but also might lead you to discover unique opportunities that others might overlook.
How can you use these motivators to ignite your entrepreneurial spirit and achieve your goals? If one of your motivators is "Relationships," you could focus on building a strong network of contacts and surrounding yourself with people who inspire and support your ideas. This can help you maintain enthusiasm and move towards your objectives, as you will be connected with people who share your vision and can offer valuable support or collaborations.
Consider keeping a journal or reflection notebook to record your thoughts and track your goals. Write down your achievements, challenges, and how your motivators have guided you along the way. This will help you stay focused and see your progress over time, as well as serve as a tool to adjust your goals and strategies based on what you discover about yourself and your motivations.
