INCENTIVE
(see also MOTIVATION)

Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, when it is in your power to act.  Do not say to your neighbor, "Come back later; I'll give it tomorrow" -- when you now have it with you.

Proverbs 3:27-28.

Research & Statistics

In a recent Michigan State University study, 97% of the faculty members and staff who bet $40 that they could stay with a six-month exercise program were successful. Only 19% of a non-betting group stayed with their six- month program.

Tip: Consider incentives when you want to change behavior.
