What Truly Motivates You?

"Motivated people advance further and faster in their careers, earn more money, are more productive, experience more satisfying relationships, and are happier than the less-motivated people around them. But true motivation cannot be faked or forced." --Tamara Lowe

Tamara spent 8 years researching over 10,000 people to find out what motivates people. She found that every person has a distinct combination that she calls their Motivational DNA.

Take the online test and find out your Motivational DNA. This will allow you to realize your personal goals faster. Share the results with your accountability partners so they can help you Get Motivated and grow.


My results are:

Motivational DNA Type is: CSI
(Connection-Stability-Internal) The Supporter
Supporters are practical, dependable and loyal. They are both people-oriented and detail-oriented. Supporters are natural supervisors. They thrive on helping others excel in their positions and will fight for the underdog. Methodical in their methodology, they like to have the facts before they act. They respect authority and organizational structure. Caring and careful with people and projects, Supporters are skillful at implementing procedures. They possess a strong work ethic. Having a clearly defined goal to work toward is important to them and they follow through on objectives with steady conscientiousness. Psychological pay is of primary importance to them. They need to feel good about what they are doing and sense that their work makes a positive contribution.
CSI Motivators: Facts and information, peer respect, sincere appreciation, private recognition, specific positive feedback, an inspiring work environment, co-workers they enjoy, clearly defined objectives, a sense of accomplishment, and time to reflect and plan.
CSI De-Motivators: Hype and hyperbole, infringement on personal or family time, perceived inequity and demands for rapid change.
1.Your motivational type can become discouraged by the enormity of huge goals. For that reason, make sure that your aspirations are realistic. Set manageable goals that can be achieved in a reasonable time frame.
2.Be gentle with yourself. Don’t expect perfection. Slow and steady progress should be your expectation.
3.Involve others. Make a list of the people, organizations and resources that will assist you in achieving your goal. Supporters excel when they are working toward an individual and team goal with others who are equally committed to achievement.

2012 DSN Global 100 Ranking

Each year, the Direct Selling News ranks direct-selling companies by revenue in it's annual Global 100 list. 


For 2012, Ambit Energy moved up a notch to #14! This is quite an accomplishment when you consider that all 13 of the companies ranked above them on the list have been in business an average of 61 years and Ambit is less than 7 years old. The second youngest company in the Top 14 is 29 years old—more than 4 times as old as Ambit! In fact, Ambit Energy is the youngest company in the Top 25. The oldest company in the Top 14 is 130 years old and the second oldest is 127 years old. The oldest company on the entire list is 158 years old! Obviously direct marketing works!

Another amazing fact is that the other companies in the Top 14 operate in anywhere from at least 7 to over 100 countries. Ambit Energy is currently only servicing customers in 9 states plus the District of Columbia in the United States.

When we look at year-over-year percentage growth of the Top 14, Ambit Energy takes top honors with 40% growth. The next fastest-growing had 29% growth and the third place company had 19% growth. Only 5 companies had double-digit growth. One of the Top 14 had zero growth, and two of the companies had a decline of 5%.


When we analyze 3-year percentage growth, we find that Ambit Energy takes the lead again with 171% growth. This is almost double the second place company's growth of 90%. Two of the Top 14 had a decline in revenue since 2009 of -8% and -45%.


Ambit Energy is now officially the largest direct-selling energy retailer in the world! They are also the only energy retailer that moved up in ranking on the Global 100 list this year.
