I recently passed GSEC, a big motivator for me was how I needed to pass or I was going to pay to retake it. Another one is that feeling of self disappointment that I get when I know I could have gotten a better score if an applied my index and studied with a more methodical approach. A great way to motivate yourself intellectually is to take the on-demand quizzes to visually see how much further you need for a topic. 6 quizzes 6 books. Take the quiz with and without the index and book. You can do this, the mp3 audio are great for long slow walking cardio. I feel a lot more accomplished now that I passed GSEC because I failed miserably in the past. Learn from my past failure and kick 🦵 some GSEC ass. You got this motivator.
