We’ve talked a lot about attitude and self-care in previous Gig Economy News blogs, but one thing that we sometimes neglect in the process is a discussion of psychology. Our attitudes aren’t just something that happen by chance, they’re a result of our innermost processes, and tapping into a deeper understanding of human psychology can help us become better entrepreneurs with more successful businesses. On that note, let’s take a look under the hood with a few articles about the influence of psychology on entrepreneurship.

The fact of the matter is, sometimes humans will just lag a bit. There is hope however, with these tips from Inc on how to effectively motivate your team with strategies that actually work.

Here are a few values from the Gig Economy that we’ve identified that will help your kids find success, whatever their path may be.
