the golden circle is the reason for the success of many.

Now think about Monroe's Motivational Sequence (Pages 306-310). How does the
Golden Circle and Monroe's Motivation Sequence work together?

In both, you are starting with the why. The intro is why you should listen and the golden
circle is why you should care. Going through the rest of the speech is your how and
what with your body. And then encompassing it all into the conclusion.
