10 Ways To Stay Motivated Starting a New Business
1. Count the small successes
They matter!! Give your self a pat on the back and stop the negative self talk. Keep your goals realistic and have more than one smaller goals.
So, If your big goal is making 300 for the Vegas trip, you should have other goals for ex:
Get your Wordpress and theme set-up.
Make your pages and copy.
Send out some emails to potentials.
Get your first referral or your first dollar.
These are all stepping stones and accomplishments
2. Create the perfect playlist
Oh yes!! some motivational music to get you going. It may be Mozart it may be rap. It is whatever gets you in the zone!
3. Do something nice (raok)
I love this quote and Ive used it on a few of my websites
“Help other people get what they want, and you will get what you want.”
A helping hand here and there with a question or problem..it only takes a second.
4. Write out Your ‘Future file’ (Vision Board)
What is your life going to look like in 1 year or 5 years. Are there places you want to travel to? Find images of those places and store them in your file. Is there a car or a boat you would like. save them and store them!!!
Open up that file whenever you need a little inspiration and motivation.
5. Do the Perfect Day Exercise
What does your perfect day look like? I start mine with "today is going to be an awesome day" I work on my own terms and at my own pace, I see results in all I do.
Hint: This isn’t that hard to achieve. And by going through the exercise, it allows you to focus on why you’re really pursuing this lifestyle.
6. Change your Desktop
Im on my computer a great deal of time so I have a photo on my desktop of what Im working towards...something that is attainable.
7. Go for a walk, a short drive or a jog.
I like going for walks, they may only be 15 minutes but they help with my motivation. I envision Im walking down a sandy beach and the waves are splashing at my feet.
8.Do something fun in the middle of the work week
Schedule a day of fun! If your a golfer , play some golf and drink a bevie. Soak up some sun or go skiing--whatever it is that you enjoy doing.
9.Remember your Productivity plan
It will carry you through those stalled feelings.
10. Read a good Biography--or motivational book
I read Rich Dad Poor Dad..it helped me alot!!
Bonus...thought, Keep your (own) sense of humour through life! It takes great courage to be able to laugh at yourself. So enjoy life..
