In this episode of the Entrepreneur Expansion Show, the host and guest Tirza Elyse explore how dopamine affects motivation, focus, and progress for both children and entrepreneurs. Tirza shares how her background in education revealed that dopamine-driven engagement is essential for learning and growth, but when mismanaged, it leads to short-lived motivation and lack of follow-through. They explain how many entrepreneurs unknowingly chase dopamine highs—like buying a course or tool—but mistake that initial excitement for progress, which causes a crash and inconsistency in action. The key micro habit they emphasize is to immediately add a next action step into your strategic plan after making a decision or purchase, instead of celebrating too early. By doing this—and setting a time frame for execution—you train your brain to stay engaged and build true momentum toward long-term success.
