I’ve got nojo. BIG TIME. I’ve also got a case of the WIIFM-itis (pronounced whif-fim-eye-tis.) How did I discover this? It doesn’t matter does it? HAHA! Teasing.
Here’s how to find out if you ALSO suffer from these attitude deficiencies. ![]()
First Quiz – Do you have nojo?
(Thanks to Business Week and @ellyhart for this one.)
- When your boss is like “Do this” and it’s the lamest task EVER do you:
- A. Think “This is SO DUMB!” or
- B. Think “Wahoo! This is GREAT! I can’t wait to impress my boss.”
If you answered “A” you’ve got NOJO. I have it too. But lucky for BOTH of us – you may ALSO have some MOJO in other areas of your life.
Second Quiz – Do you have mojo?
- When you’re stuck in traffic, you’re running late and your cellphone decided to malfunction because it hates you – do you:
- A. Get upset, frustrated or want to scream?
- B. Laugh
If you answered “A” congratulations you’re normal.
But I answered “b” and that means I’ve got MOJO. so there ![]()
Third Quiz – Do you have WIIFM-itis?
- When expected to do something, or asked to do something, or when going to do something, do you ever find yourself wondering “Dude, this is so dumb, why am I doing this? Is this really going to get me anywhere?” Do you ever wonder “What’s In It For Me?”
- A. Yes.
- B. No.
If you answered YES because you’ve been asked to sell credit cards at work but since you worked in the CC industry for 5 years you are like THIS IS SO DUMB and why the flippity flip should I sell your credit card for you? Well … if that’s the case you MAY (probably totally) have nojo and WIIFM-itis.
AND if you have emotional hypochondria then you probably have nojo and WIIFM-itis regardless of your answers and if THAT is the case – it’s SERIOUS – and you should probably go see your Dr. ![]()
But don’t worry. It’s probably going to be ok – we can suffer through it together.
And for all of you OTHER people out there who are 100% mojo all of the time (wait isn’t that what 100% means?) then GOOD FOR YOU! You are probably totally kind of an inspiration to other people with MOJO
YAY! Hip hip hooray for you! But be warned that to all of us with a little nojo streak in us (ooh I love a little naughty nojo) then you are probably kinda sorta annoyingly TOO motivated and we distrust you. Hee Hee.
