For the sake of your family, business, and yourself staying motivated an essential component in becoming a successful entrepreneur and a happier person overall. But why is it so difficult to stay motivated? How can you keep your motivation fueled long enough to accomplish what you’re trying to achieve?

Let Go of Fear

It’s difficult to remain motivated when you’re fearful. Having fear is common but it also holds you back. The thought of losing your business, not being successful, giving up control, not being good enough, disappointing the people around you is heavy weight on you and you must get rid of it. We as people have the tendency of producing an ideal in our minds of what the outcomes to a specific task or scenario should be. If we feel like we may fail and not meet the ideal outcome, then we back off because we’re fearful of the unknown possible outcome. The root of fear is holding onto how we want things to be. Trust yourself, let go of the ideals you plant inside your head and move forward. Letting go of the fear that’s holding you back will make it that much easier for you to gain motivation.

Write Down Your Goals

“You must see in order to believe it.” Write down your goals on a piece of paper, visualize yourself achieving those goals. How would it feel? Where will you be? Who will jump up and down like crazy monkeys with you when you cross that finish line? Seriously put yourself in that moment and manifest in it for a few minutes, get excited! According to Forbes, Elite athletes visualize their performance ahead of time, right down to the smell of the sweat dripping down their face as they cross the finish line.

Make a Goal Board!

A great way to also get a visual of your goals with an everyday reminder would by turning it into an artsy project and hanging it up. Print pictures, motivational quotes, and your written goals. Paste it onto a project board; you could even assemble it as a timeline of where you see yourself in X amount of time. Make it look nice and really have fun with it! Hang it up in your office, room, or where ever you like and let that become your reality.

“The Work You Do While You’re Procrastinating is the Work You Should Be Doing for the Rest of Your Life”

You hear this over and over again I know because I have…Do What You Love! “If you love your job you’ll never work a day in your life” It’s the utmost truth, find what makes you happy and work at it. If you do what you love you’ll be much further along the road to contentment.

Inspiration is A Skill

Inspiration is not random. I do believe we all have a creative genius, but in order rely upon your inspiration you must train it. For instance, great authors read avidly. Great hairstylists attend hair shows. Great bloggers attend blogging conventions. Great marketers attend seminars. Great composers listen to music. Great productivity-ists subscribe to Zen Habits. Surround yourself with things that inspire you and reflect your goals. Make it a habit to connect with your inspiration and creative genius on a daily basis.

You time

Set an hour of just you time to do something that relaxes you, inspires you or excites you. This is your time to meditate, run, swim, dance, or drink coffee while reading a magazine under a tree. You time is very important and should be taken seriously. Make the arrangements necessary with your family and chose a routine that fits.

Never ever ever ever ever ever, give up!
