10 Tunes to Help You Get Up & Go (Your Own Way) Dapper Tunes: Motivational Songs

Making your own path in life is hard. Whether you're trying to be Captain Dapper or Plain Jane, need a boost of confidence to for a job interview or a pick-me-up post break-up, sometimes you need a little kick in the pants. As far as I'm concerned, the music is the best motivator.

When I need to shut off the doubting Thomas inside my mind, I crank up some music to turn the beat around. I'll spin a few motivating tunes, shake it out, dust myself off and move along.
