Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Motivation

We all know motivation is your desire to achieve a defined goal. It is your commitment to the actions that will make that goal happen, leading to your Success.

Now, Intrinsic Motivation refers to your inner desire to achieve a set goal. You want to do this, not because of the external rewards such as money or fame, but because you actually enjoy the challenge of achieving your goals.

Extrinsic Motivation is the exact opposite. It is based on your desire to achieve a set goal because of the reward involved and not because you enjoy the challenge that goes with it.
