Read them and think about them as you work to increase your own mojo. Many sources make lists. I have used them to build mine for you. Wikipedia is a source that does a good job of describing how a list is built. But I don't rely on it. Instead, I used Forbes magazine, entrepreneur.com , and my own opinion to make this list.

Why Aren't You Willing To Act? I have identified 4 reasons that you might not be willing to act. Such an unwillingness will hurt your mojo. There are a few reasons that a person might not be willing to act. Here are my top four: 1. Laziness - Sometimes, the reason for not be willing to act is shear laziness. A person might think “it isn’t my job” or “someone else should be acting.” If you have mojo and a chance to help your group, you take it. It isn’t a matter of being doubtful or fearful that you won’t succeed. A lazy person just doesn’t even try. You can be lazy in your preparation, which will lead to an inability to perform in the clutch. You can be lazy at clutch time itself, despite good preparation, which will prevent you from acting when needed.A lazy person is always noticed, not only in clutch time but at other times when the person should be giving maximum effort. 2. Fear - Another possibility is that you fear acting in the clutch. It isn’t b...

7 Positions That Benefit From Mojo If you are fortunate enough to get one of these positions, having mojo can help you. Here is my list: 1. Team captain - This person needs to be respected by his teammates. His teammates must be willing to do what the captain says, even if they disagrees with it. In addition, he must have the pulse of the team. And he must communicate it and other information to the coach. Having mojo can lead to the desired respect, whether from perceived expertise, willingness to act, luck, or motivation. If a teammate sees one or more of these qualities exemplified in the captain, the teammate will be more willing to follow him. The teammate will also be more willIng to confide in the captain. This can help the captain get the pulse of the team. Given these requirements for the captain, it is not surprising that he is often not the most skilled or accomplished member of the team. But he should be selected for the possession of mojo. 2. Ship’s...

Masks and Mojo First of all, I am not a doctor. Nothing that you read here should be taken as medical advice. Second, if you are at high risk, does your perceived mojo really matter? If you get infected, you are going to look bad anyway. Don't take unnecessary risks. According to the BBC , your chances of dying if you get a COVID infection approaches 10% if you are over 80 years old, 5% if you are in your 70s, and less if you are younger. Below age 55, it is below 1% and drops more for younger people. Citations from the BBC are, I assume, case fatality rates (CFRs), not infection fatality rates. CFRs overestimate the severity of the disease because infections that aren't tested aren’t counted and fewer of them are fatal. I have never found good infection fatality rate data for COVID 19. This post applies mostly to low risk people. Being seen with a mask is not a good look for your mojo unless you are in a healthcare setting. Or if the mask is plastered ...
