Steps to keep you motivated?

14 replies
Hi Guys, I need a list of words that will keep me motivated. Im going to print and put it above my computer so It can always remind me. This is my number1 problem right now (Most of us do)... Lack of motivation.. I am easily get distracted..

So far I found this thread http://www.warriorforum.com/mind-war...otivation.html with the list below.

=================
1) Set a goal and follow a path.
The path has mini goals that go in many directions. When you learn to succeed at mini goals, you will be motivated to challenge grand goals.

2) Finish what you start.
A half finished project is of no use to anyone. Quitting is a habit. Develop the habit of finishing self-motivated projects.

3) Socialize with others of similar interest.
Mutual support is motivating. We will develop the attitudes of our five best friends. If they are losers, we will be a loser. If they are winners, we will be a winner. To be a cowboy we must associate with cowboys.

4) Learn how to learn.
Dependency on others for knowledge supports the habit of procrastination. Man has the ability to learn without instructors. In fact, when we learn the art of self-education we will find, if not create, opportunity to find success beyond our wildest dreams.

5) Harmonize natural talent with interest that motivates.
Natural talent creates motivation, motivation creates persistence and persistence gets the job done.

6) Increase knowledge of subjects that inspires.
The more we know about a subject, the more we want to learn about it. A self-propelled upward spiral develops.

7) Take risk.
Failure and bouncing back are elements of motivation. Failure is a learning tool. No one has ever succeeded at anything worthwhile without a string of failures.

===================

    Wow, thanks for this Kojakeunio, (love the name). I needed to see this. If I think of only one at a time it's good but seeing all 7 listed out and reading all 7 together makes it more powerful and motivating.

      Those are some great tips. I use music a lot to help motivate me. I set up certain playlists to listen to while I am working with upbeat type music. It helps me a lot.

    A great one is by Steve Jobs and it's certainly perfect for those who want to run their own business: "Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish"

    Only the foolish ones are the ones who are crazy enough to become Internet entrepreneurs

    Here's my TOP 5 tips for motivation (helped me reach millionaire status so they must work!):

    1. Have a BIG REASON WHY for why you are doing what you're doing
    2. Have pictures in front of your workplace depicting what you're aiming towards
    3. Have pictures behind you in your office of things you've already achieved.
    4. Stay true to yourself and chase your dream, not the money
    5. Help people first and the rest will happen

    Peace.

    I love to use photos and posters with graphics to give me positive images to look at all day. My office is in the basement, so its darker and has no windows.

    I am guilty of procrastination too. It sucks but hey the information on the internet is huge.
    Some BS and some really good.
