Hi,

For me, if I am organized I am more productive. As trivial and obvious as this may sound, I routinely make daily lists of things I want to do. I think the key is to make the list the night before. That allows me to reflect on what I accomplished that day and my task list is ready to go first thing in the morning so I don't waste time sitting there wondering what to do. Hope that helps.

Think about how long you are delaying your end goal if you stop doing what you know you need to in order to reach that goal.

This is especially effective when I am laying in the bed.

The key is to ALWAYS set more goals once you attain the previous ones. You are either growing or dying, there is no in between.

I have noticed that when I perform tasks that are part of some not so fun project it makes it easier for me to stay motivated longer. Taking a day off is too risky for me. Sunday is the only exception.

Warrior Globetrotter

I am not great at self motivation...almost to the point where many times I thought that working on the net from home is not for me and that i should get a "real 9-5 job"-...

but here I am a year later still working at home ...

what I have found that works for me is not merely a "priority list" but instead a specific "important task" list....once I do it...im done for the day...and thats it...i close my computer and leave it be...the cap is important or i could easily spend 12 hrs straight fromt of my pc and i dont want to live like that! (id get depressed and worn out quick that way)

hope that helps...dom

First of all, you have to realize that every thing you do is all a part of "the process" and without that boring step, you wouldn't have the same results.

So the question to ask yourself is, "How much do I want [this ideal situation] to come true?"

For me, whenever I start to doubt anything or create friction for myself because I don't want to do the boring tasks, I tell myself, "I'm in the process of building my online business!" I know that having the online business I dream of 24/7 includes boring tasks, but since I want it so bad, I just do it! (Not to sound all Nike on you guys- haha) It just excites me to know that I can build my own biz from scratch online- the possibilities are ENDLESS on the internet!!! That's what keeps me going.

Option #2- Outsource If YOU don't want to do it, I know there are plenty of other people out there who will.

Take care everyone!

Anyone who believes they never lose their motivation and always feels upbeat is being less than honest with themselves. Staying focused is not easy, but some people are better at managing this than others...

I do the same thing. For my family and my kids.

Samuel Craig

I try to think of ways in which my activity is of real benefit to others.

Yes, sometimes I am doing things that only really benefit me. But, when I am doing something that I can see benefits for ohters (or could benefit others if I change my perspective)... that motivates me.

Hi 7figurehelper,

I love your point. Reminding ourselves how we are delaying our time to reach our end goal will make us feel the pain. The pain will then motivate us to get to work now. Great point!

Cheers,
Vincent

I feel that sometimes pain is a better way to motivate ourselves instead of pleasure. What do you guys think?

Always view the end result I am trying to reach and imagine
that it is already real. Thinking this way makes me stop
thinking of reasons why I can't -- and focuses on what I
have to do, need to do.

I keep one thing in mind and one thing alone. Here's the realization i came to, "anyone can achieve anything, but we can't achieve anything without anyone."

That is enough to keep me motivated.

To motivate myself, I set myself a goal and task sheet. As I finish each task, I tick off what I have completed.I get a sense of satisfaction just by completing the tasks, even though I might have found it daunting at the outset

The purpose of a certain task keeps me motivated.

I am highly motivated by tasks that are most beneficial to children and families.

Even if the task is strenuous and annoying, I will definitely find strength to do it knowing that many children and families will profit from my efforts.

I always remember that when I get to the point where I don't feel like doing something, this is the same point that will contribute to my success and separate me from those who are unsuccessful. We all do the things we feel like doing. Successful people do things even when they don't feel like doing them.

MarkMilan

I always think that with motivation a lot is made of various techniques, but at the end of the day, you either do something or you don't. I don't think people necessarily need to "motivate themselves" as much as they need to just do whatever it is they want to do.

That said, I have personally found that if at the end of every day I write down what I've done, I become more productive. What you write down clearly shows you your actions for that day, and you becoming more aware of how you have spent your time. If your only actions have been watching television, drinking tea, and thinking about doing something productive, when you write it down you'll realise this, and the next day you may be inclined to actually do something productive instead of just thinking about it.

eijk82

I usualy do these things

1. get a piece of paper or something else to write on.
2. then you write your target that you desire on the paper.

for example :

This week I wish for :

- finishing my writings (ebook or something else)
- buy a new shoes
- going to my grandma's house
- etc

This month I wish for :

- Get a new dating partner
- generate at least $ 1000
- etc

This year I wish for :

- buy a new car
- getting married
- having a holiday to Bali, Indonesia
- etc

3. keep those target carefully, and you have to convince your self that you'll able to afford that.

4. everytime you feel down and frustrated just take a look back to those target you wrote.
then you'll feel the same energy that you felt earlier.

I like to think about what I would like to achieve by working on my business (my weight loss oriented website). I always remind myself that the work I am doing now (producing content regularly, promoting my website through various marketing means, working on getting my site ranked, etc.) is well worth my effort even though I may not see results in some time.

I like to picture what it would be like to be financially care free and all of the benefits that would come along with it. No seriously, I literally close my eyes and try to hold onto that amazing feeling of reaching my goal. This is what keeps me going.

I just look at my bank account, that's enough of a motivation to get going.

First, I will find out what's my passion, what really inspire me...If something that I don't feel like doing. I just acknowledge I don't like doing it. After that, I will ask myself what's the impact if I choose not to "like" it. If I can't bear with the impact...I will normally move forward and I am fully aware of this impact will cost me my life.

unintuitive

I think this is key.

When I worked in B2B sales, occasionally the team would get together for "motivational meetings." Sometimes a speaker would be brought in to get everyone "pumped up."

I think there's a major problem with this kind of situation:

If the only way you can get motivated is through some kind of external stimulus (i.e., a pep rally, visualizing disaster from inaction, etc.) then you might want to consider whether you really want success at whatever it is you're doing.

Motivation should come naturally -- if you're doing what actually interests you. In other words, you shouldn't have to get motivated.

For example, I sometimes produce electronic music. I don't have to hype it up in my mind to get started. Sometimes I'm so excited to get working I can barely focus on anything else!

The point is: if you're having motivation troubles, my first suggestion is that you should take a moment to reflect on whether your heart's really in it. You may have some kind of internal conflict about the task at hand.

If so... it might be time to make some changes -- possibly drastic changes.

One thing I did when taking the GMATs is to print out success stories i found on forums and pin them on my desk to remind me every day that I must work hard so I can do well and then post my success story to help others.

I have done the same with my im cpa marketing career...its very motivational to hear other peoples success stories!

Hi Guys and Gals
I consult with many online and offline business owners and 90% suffer from motivational problems especially in a bad economy when everyone is drumming down how bad everything is... this can and does cause motivational problems.

How I try to help is by making a business owner totally focus on their own business and forgetting about the economy, if your product is good and it is in demand than you will make sales... mindset has to be right and to get the required motivation you must be able to have a list of jobs to do to push your business or life forward.

Make a list of requirements and then do them step by step... one at a time and each time you see something work out you will get more motivation.

If you have a setback carry on and don't give up... it takes as much energy to give up as it does to succeed!

Many people want everything now... and right now... you must motivate yourself to take one small baby step and the rest will follow.

It's alot easier to be motivated about taking a small step then a large leap and you will see the benefits.
