Self Motivation.Boy it can be hard !
I have always found it quite difficult to motivate myself..which is quite strange considering I love motivating others.
During my employed years starting off in a Public House as they called them in the UK…basically a bar….and progressing from a kitchen Porter (skivvy) to becoming one of the youngest people to get a License to serve alcohol at the age of 21 .
Then becoming a Car Salesman for a leasing company selling the end of lease cars to within 5 years becoming a Dealer Principal of a Ferrari Dealership you would probably say ….hmm sounds like he WAS pretty self motivated but I was just work motivated.
I was also fortunate to know the right people at the right time as well as working very hard and obviously along the way showing some business acumen.
But then I left the world of Employment and became Self Employed …quite by accident as I was made redundant twice in as many years by simply making a couple of wrong career moves .

Now whilst becoming self employed and then setting up and running a small business I found it really difficult to motivate myself. I suppose there were many factors involved and I also believe it was yet another case of CHOICES and unfortunately due to the situation I ended up in it was an easy choice to get into the line of business I got into as my wife was already running her own business in the area I went into.
So all though I had a motivation of having to pay Bills and Mortgage and I knew could be achieved by setting up this business it really wasn’t the business I wanted to be in and I guess that why I had a lack of self motivation.
This all happened about 9 Years ago and a good 10- 15 years before that I was really buzzing about stocks and shares and Affiliate programmes etc but just couldn’t get the money together for the Forex etc and was just unfortunately being caught out by a lot of the self professed Guru’s (yes we have all had a bit of experience with them unfortunately)in the world of Affiliate Marketing.
So a new chapter opened in 2017 for me with WA. But where did I go wrong !
SELF MOTIVATION …..For some mad reason I just didn’t find the time to get into WA and I also couldn’t motivate myself into putting time aside to read the reviews ,blogs, posts, training . Because I was so new to it all a lot of it went over my head . Even when I asked for help I felt it was just too much to take in and I just wasn’t in the right frame of mind. So i left …

A few months later when I was more settled (having moved abroad ) I felt it was time to return for another go…I started from scratch again but this time I felt motivated .I wanted to prove to myself I could do it .I could set up a site to earn an extra income that I really needed.
As soon as I joined again I started to hit hurdles and was out of my comfort zone and thought …..”here I go again”….this time though I reached out again…I decided to read the training and watch the videos again and again to get my head around things.
The more and more Time I put in the more and more I was getting out although not necessarily producing income . Currently I am stuck on a couple of things at the moment but after the Xmas break I am going to succeed as my self motivation button has kicked in.
My point is …..This journey I am going through is allowing me to become more self motivated and the more and more I read your posts and view your sites the more and more I become motivated.
For me I am becoming wealthy in knowledge and in becoming part of a community that is motivated.The Icing on the cake will be producing the income. I know that with the training programme within WA I will achieve this goal in 2019.
So for those of you who struggle with self motivation….Don’t give up….ask questions, check out the posts and websites ,Comment on them as your opinions are truly inspiring.Train….and train….go back to the basics as you will find that you have forgotten an important piece of info not even related to your problem.
If you just can’t understand why you can’t get a link somewhere or aren’t sure how to market your site anything….absolutely anything never be afraid to ask because the simplest of things that can get in your way can also knock your motivation and no one on WA wants you to fail in fact all they want to do is help YOU succeed .
So take heed …..Simply Motivating others can quite simply be SELF MOTIVATING so go on TRY

Great read. You are not alone. We all get stumped by a hurdle ,and think that its too hard to get over it.
Then we tell ourselves to keep pushing towards our next challenge.
Thanks for the motivating post! Completely agree with you...making small progress toward your goal is motivating...even taking the time to write this post in an effort to help others reflect and get motivated is a step in the right direction! Keep it up!! Best wishes in 2019!
Great post! You hit on several good points here. You seem you took the "baby steps" needed to get going in the right direction and that's exactly where you needed to start. Great job! It sounds like you are headed in the right direction now so keep going! You can do this.
You are totally right - come back and start reading what others write, make comments, and learn....commit to a few minutes per day and work your way up from there perhaps. Write down some goals for yourself and post them. You've got this!
If you ever get stuck, I invite you to contact me through PM. I'm a great encourager and I call myself the "Positivity Queen" so feel free to stop by and read some of my WA blogs as well.
See you soon.
Wishing you all the best. Happy New Year!
Kind regards,
Yvette
For things like fitness, it helps me a great deal to have someone say, "5 more," or "you can do this with a heavier weight" or whatever. If someone is paying attention, I try harder.
The social aspect of WA helps with my motivation a lot. I can see what is possible. I still have to do it though and most of the time, I'd rather take a nap or escape into a book. I still kinda wish there was more accountability but that's both the major benefit and the pitfall of self-employment - no boss.

Great post, Sean. The three main bullet points I liked were:
1) Keep going over basics
2) Always ask questions
3) NEVER give up.
Let’s get into 2019 and make this internet marketing thing work!
Best wishes,
Steve.
Thanks Steve looking forward to it
