Consequences and Rewards
In this episode of the Family Before Fortune Podcast we talk all things motivation. Are you a carrot or a stick person? Do you have accountability and motivation to complete your goals?

Main topic: Motivation: Consequences and Rewards
Carrots-

Sticks-
- Accountability partner
- Financial fine
- Missing a reward
- Don’t let people down
- The bad way you feel
