Motivation Daily by Motiversity · START WITH WHY - Simon Sinek Motivational Speech · 22 May 2026 podcast

People start business with the goal of winning or being number one.

And that's a problem because that's impossible.

Let me give you a hypothetical example to make my point.

Two CEOs, the first CEO says, our number one priority is growth.

And of course, our people are important because if we take care of our people, we will meet and exceed our financial goals.

Second CEO says, our number one priority is our people.

And if we take care of our people, we will always meet and exceed our financial goals.

Which one would you rather work for?

I mean, it's obvious, right?

It's obvious.

So this is what it means to prioritize will over resources.

Of course, money matters, but the people matter more.

The United States Navy SEALs are perhaps the most elite warriors in the world.

And

One of the seals was asked, who makes it through the selection process?

Who is able to become a seal?

And his answer was, I can't tell you the kind of person that becomes a seal.

I can't tell you the kind of person that makes it through buds, but I can tell you the kind of people who don't become seals.

He says the guys that show up with huge, bulging muscles covered in tattoos who want to prove to the world how tough they are, none of them make it through.

He said the preening leaders who like to delegate all their responsibility and never do anything themselves, none of them make it through.
