Start-ups: What do (bootstrapped) startups offer to new sales hires? Commission only? What are some good examples to keep people motivated and still survive?

Joy Broto Nath , Global Corporate Trainer & Strategist answered:

I believe it all depends on the performance of the company. Bootstrapping your start-up means growing your business with little or no venture capital or outside investment. Even if you and your co-founder have different skill sets, it is unlikely that both of you will know everything about how to run a company. Advisors can help your start-up grow, but there is a downside, too. Most advisors will want a stake in your company in exchange for their help and advice. Many start-up founders appreciate the connections their advisors have for introducing them to good talent or professional services, like lawyers, but your advisor is not just a Rolodex.

When it comes to getting results, it takes motivation and ability. Motivation makes things happen. One of the best ways to improve your personal effectiveness is to master your motivation and find your drive. If you can master motivation, you can deal with life’s setbacks, as well as inspire yourself to always find a way forward, and create new experiences for yourself, and follow your growth. You simply start doing an activity and then your motivation kicks in. Find a way to link things to good feelings. For example, play your favourite song when you are doing something you do not like to do. It must be a song that makes you feel so great that it overshadows the pain of the task.
