Let's start with your own suggestions. Before you read any more of this blog, please stop, hit the comments link at the bottom of the post (next to the time), and type your top 3 ideas for motivating people in non-monetary ways. When you do it, make sure to hit the "subscribe by email" link on the bottom of your comment box. That will make sure you get to see what everyone else suggests (including me).
With that, I'll be back in less than a week with my content on this thread. I promise. First I want to see your ideas. I promise to steal them shamelessly!
