How to restore lost motivation?

7 years ago

Sounds like it could be a case of "burnout".
It happens when you overwork yourself. Happened to me early last year...totally lost all motivation....I didn't want to do anything.

So...what I did was take a whole week away from my computer and internet marketing. I did other offline work for a few hours and then read, went out, did some exercise and even watched stupid stuff on TV....brain dead stuff.

After that week I felt re-freshed and ready to get back into the game!
So maybe you need to take some time off....a few days to recharge.

Thanks sharpturn for your reply, that's true, last two months I have been working the most of the day and a part of the night 7 days a week, so I finished with lots of unfinished tasks and half done projects. I consider planning a trip out of town for a few days. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi Mustapha,

Here are my 2 cents:

You don't need any restart...

All you need is to start doing the things you know you should do to move your project forward, in spite of all the fears and doubts you have right now.

And start with baby steps...divide your project into tiny little parts and start working on a single little task until it's completed.

If you have problems starting, then start working for 5 minutes or even for 1 minute and then take a break. Then work again for 1 or 5 minutes. Very soon your motivation will kick in and you will find yourself wanting to work more until you finish the task you started.

Every little victory over yourself will make it even easier to act the next time. After a while, it will be pretty easy to work daily for a few hours on your online biz.

And stop fearing failure... If you fail, it's not such a big deal. At least now you know what's not working and you can start something else that may bring you the success you need and want.

One more thing...

Stop focusing on the lack of action. When you focus on your procrastination, you will continue to procrastinate.

Whatever you focus on, you will continue to get! Start focusing on action and results and what you can do to move into action and get the results you want.

Have a great day and a Massively Productive 2017.

All the best,
Claudiu

Thanks

Forget motivation.

Build discipline.

Pumping yourself up and motivating yourself to get stuff done will only work for a little while. Eventually you'll feel shitty again and not want to do anything.

That's where discipline kicks in.

Internet marketing isn't easy and you'll soon lose your 'passion' for it once you hit your first major obstacle. The difference between people who are successful and those who do internet marketing as a hobby is the discipline the successful people build up.

Life sucks sometimes. But you just have to keep on pushing forward. The problems you run away from will be there tomorrow when you wake up. So just suck it up and get it over with today.

I am currently trying to outsource getting a team to do flyers for me, and sure l could throw a packet at it, and hope that makes enough to live off.

But it is much safer to pay them to do a small number, then make adjustments, and do some more, til hopefully they know exactly what l want.

After that if l can cover their monthly costs, then there is no limits!

Just because motivational books say, risk everything, doesn't mean you actually have to risk everything!

I have thought this through thoroughly and just like you l am worried that l missed something, but if l do it in small steps then at worst l might lose $50 on substandard work.

Even that isn't a problem, but hopefully they will give me a discount to clean them up?

When I lose my way, it is usually because I am focused on too many things. I try to focus on fewer things. The most important step for me is to focus on why I was doing the thing to begin with. If the why is not important anymore I may abandon the effort as fruitless. If my why was very important I go back in full force. Sometimes it is about finding what was fun about the activity to begin with. "Fall in love" with it again

First year was full of information overload; hundreds of videos, Gurus lists subscription, buying get rich products, etc..
Finally, I registered a .com domain, designed my first own website, it was in the make money online niche. But after few months I had some problems in my day job, Problems with my wife about " my wasted time" on the laptop (she has no idea about what I am trying to do even after I explained to her everything), so I neglected my site, especially with the very known obstacles such as, time, budget for marketing, autoresponder fees, expensive blog copywriters, experience, etc.. So I listed the website on Flippa, and completely forgot about it, and about everything in the making money online stuff, it was a hard work and I felt sorry about it..
And just one month before the domain name and hosting expires, I had an email from Flippa telling me I received an offer about my site, Checked it out, and.. WoW... somebody wants to buy my site for 470$

, and feels very motivated about it.. So, after some easy negotiations, we had a deal for 515 bucks

, And it was the first money I made online .. Can't forget it's tast.. I was happy and proud of myself.
After, I decided to restart from the beginning, but this time I invested in starter website creation and selling, learned about domain names, purchased a hosting with unlimited add-on domains, and sold more than 32 websites on Flippa and made good amount of money. Currently I decided to go ahead and bring my business to the next level. especially after I made some sales on two websites listed for auction on Flippa.
Currently I own 6 ready-made starter websites on "news/media, cpa marketing, bodybuilding, marketing graphics", and three parked domains about Web traffic niche and holiday services online.

The fact is I am thinking on starting a business as a web traffic reseller, because I have a very good one-word domain name, ready and easy to get branded. But the problem is I am not sure if selling web traffic is a good start, I read in many posts here that online traffic selling is not a good business to run, due to several risks such as low quality traffic, bots, etc...
Also, I feel very motivated and it's now two weeks that I am blocked and didn't take a single step ahead, I feel stuck, the next step has very difficult tasks, and Lately I've been completely unmotivated to do anything. Getting things done is a challenge. Everything seems very difficult and dangerous, I am not wishing to restart from scratch and lose everything. This is why I am no more happy with what I do, and this lack of motivation is getting me depressed day after day. I feel completely lost.
I just need some advices from you please, have you been at this point before? what did you do to restart? And If you have any suggestion or advice for my case it would be appreciated.
Sorry for this long post, and for my English.

I would recommend to take some time and follow/read/watch the most successful Internet Marketers in your Niche for inspiration. Also be sure to watch some motivational videos and read motivational books.

Yes Claudiu, the fear of failure is a big obstacle in my way.. You touched the right point. Also dividing the project into little tiny tasks is a good idea, but it's time consuming, anyway, it's better than staying stuck and lose everything at the end. Thanks Claudiu

Thank you RefuseToLose for your advice, you are right; life sucks.. I tried to organize myself and use time managment plans for maximum profit, it worked well in the first days, but after, I gave up and returned to my bad habits; opening 3 navigators, 5 applications and working on 10 projects at the same time, which means bad quality and tons of unfinished tasks..

It's the WHY who push you to do what you are doing now, but if it's strong enough,
I love working and doing business online, my BIG DREAM is to have a full online income for me, my wife, and my two children. rather than spending days on travelling with tourists and having a boss who dictates my moves. The good point in my current job is that I am travelling a lot in my country, especially in the high touristic season (I am a local guide). But I prefer to stay in my home, spend more time with my family, and make sure we are in a good financial situation. Thanks mdallen

Thank you DURABLEOILCOM for your recommandation, this is actually what I am doing, I am online just on Warriorforum, and in contact with some good successful guys. I know a guy from my city, (he is famous now), Started in 2009, focused on CPA Marketing, now he built many 6 figure income streams, moved from Morocco and lives actually in thailand, his history is the most motivational in my case, because I knew him personally, and because of him I really believe that if you want something, it can happen, but only if you REALLY want it.

Your messages reminded me of my occasional successes.
Yes, it motivates when you forget about your website, and they get paid for selling it. It it's occasional success and occasional motivation.
Ok, you wanna start a business, do you have a dream, a goal, a plan?
You need help, suuport? Are you qualified to start a business?
Look:

I am thinking on starting a business as a web traffic reseller, because I have a very good one-word domain name, ready and easy to get branded.

The lack of motivation is a signal that you're not passionate about what you're doing.

Thanks Alex, but I am really passionate, but just need confidence of myself.. I remember when I sold my first website, I didn't believe.. But now, I know what website buyers exactly want, majority of my websites sold by the Buy It Now button on Flippa. And I have many beautiful expressions on my feedback portfolio there. But..
My problem is confidence, I don't want to spend all my life creating and selling websites to the others. I want to apply what I learned, go to the next level and diversify sources of income, invest in an advanced project.. but I have that "fear of failure", This is why I headed here to ask for help. I couldn't decide.. Also, it's not limited to that domain I mentioned. I have many other choices, I just need confidence. But really excited.. Thank you Alex.

80% of the business decisions you'll make are going to be wrong.

This means that 8 out of 10 times you'll fail.

This is true for you, for me and for most people. Even if they may not always be wrong, they'll hardly be the best decision you can take.

But you know what? The remaining 20% will make you rich.

You can actually fail 1 times in 5 and still be extremely successful. So stop taking this so personally. Most of the projects you start are not going to work out and most of the decisions you make are going to be stupid.

BUT ...

Eventually, one of those decisions will prove brilliant. You won't think of it as brilliant yet it is going to make you ten times as much money as you've thought it is possible. And then you'll understand that life is a process of validating what works.

Failure is not to be judged on one attempt. We all fail the first time. Failure is to be judged on a longer time frame. If you try ten times and you fail nine times, it is not that you've failed, it is that it took you nine times to find the right approach.

I know that it sounds as feel good platitudes but it is the truth. We screw things up in life but trying again and again (and preferably learning to not screw up in the same way) makes us strong and successful. The world of successful business is not a world of geniuses that know how to write the perfect copy and pick the perfect niche.

It is instead a world of spreadsheets where attempts, campaigns, ideas are categorized by ROI and where the last man standing is usually the one that's going to drive home in a Porsche.

This is something I struggle with from time to time. I can get a lot of work done when I feel motivated but once that motivation wears off I literally don't want to do anything.

Burnout is real and it's something that happened to me about a week ago. There I was getting all of the work done and flying through everything. Suddenly my body breaks down and I get sick with the flu and I can't do anything. I get over the flu and I just can't seem to get any work done. I watch motivational videos I watch all sorts of stuff thinking I would get into the groove but nothing worked.

I remember reading a thread on another internet marketing forum and I used the guy who posted as motivation to get started again. He was talking about taking small steps and setting small goals. That's where I started. I set small goals and smashed them and the more I did it the more motivation I got to keep moving forward.

Motivation alone will lead to burnout and that's why you have to cultivate discipline which comes in handy in the moments when you just don't want to move forward.

Now I set small goals and I take consistent action towards those goals. I think by doing it this way I have been able to get a lot more done and I continue to take action towards my goals.

Hope that helps.

Thanks

Yeah, sure. I've had that problem before.

I've found that a good way to keep Yourself motivated and disciplined is to set a large goal and then divide that goal into mini goals. And then when You achieve a mini goal, You get excited and motivated and You feel You can actually make something happen. Take action and execute

Great advise, but Frank Kern said, that 97% of people fail online, and it only takes one of the other three to make tons of it!

I have been online just over 9 years, and can attest that it is all one slave away for what seems like eternity, ditch stupid people, that only know working for someone mentality, and slave away some more

But l am being a bit negative, you also p*** away thousands including being scammed, and fail so many times you lose count.

How to restore motivation, funny you should ask that, l am at an all time low at present. So probably, having an apple pie with custard, and a ton of ice cream on top, will help me tonight. I have already smashed some doors and driven like a maniac, but that didn't help much.

Listening to motivational music, eye of the tiger, etc, does help.

Stay Focused
I think your main reason of losing interest is that you are only focusing on income,Do work which makes you happy and love your work.Put an effort don't worry about the result because its too early.At start the things will look messy and the power of handling will lead you to hopelessness but gradually things will fall to its place and then you will enjoy your work with more enthusiasm.

You are allowing fear to take over. It;'s written all over you. Take a break some days to think over what you have to gain by launching the next level of your business. You have nothing to loose. If you fail to act, you are loosing all the same. So dive into it after your break and get on running. There are hidden benefits that you get when act on projects, dont deprive yourself of them. The holy book, bible says, "All hardworks lead to profit" Yes every action whether you get the right results or not leads to profit in one way or the other.

Let me also add this piece : This may also be the case of a burn out. Get into the midst of a success group offline. Go to someone who is getting result by acting of projects. Burn out can occur when you are running the race alone especially when results are not coming in the way you expected it

Keep doing what works. Keep selling websites. You have 32+ sales under your belt... others would pay big to know how you do it too. You could offer an info product pdf sharing your secrets and the steps you took. Trust yourself. If Selling web traffic doesn't feel right simply Dont bother with it. Keep doing what your Best at and have experience doing. Simply drop whats causing you stress and Do what your already and expert at doing. Keep building out sites and Sell them.

Great tips and comments here. Setting up short-term and long-term goals and finding something that challenges your body and mind, but also gives you satisfaction while achieving your goals is very valuable. Also surrounding yourself with people that share your ideas, goals, interests will boost your confidence, motivation and help you get on the right path towards success.

Good luck!

Discipline is the key. You also need to sit down and make a plan. Write it down and focus on it. You may need to make changes but this will provide you with focus.

Thanks

You can enter a trance state of mind and recall past successes. You also add visualization to the mix. Do it systematically and within reasonable time you will experience a radical reality shift.

Thank you so much everybody for your great tips and comments.
I'm gone small again, and restarted from the very beginning, but this time with more experience and ambition.
I tried to understand the rules of this game, and made my 500$ the first month after my back from a very long "pause" of restoration. This is what it took from me more than a year when I started my first time.
Thanks again everybody for your support, I hope this posts helps anybody if get stuck or feel unmotivated.
