how to you get motivated?

Make your goals very clear, writing it down will help. When things doesn't look so good I take a deep breath and relax for a bit then get up and go again.

Yes, good tip, I think I just need to get relaxed from time to time, being too focus or too impatient just won't get you any faster to reach your goals. Thanks pal...

I have clear goals and just keep thinking about all the things I really like, like spending time with my family. And some things I don't like, like sitting in traffic.

Keeps me going.

This how I get motivated
-I think of times when I have been very successful
- I think of people who have succeeded against all odds
- I read, or just take time off to go and do somethin different
- I think of my wife, and three kids -there is nothing more motivating than this.

To keep myself motivated, I make sure that I am out of every negative things in life. I always try to look on the brighter side of the life. Thoughts which are negative are the root cause for each and every depression. I make sure that none of them comes close to me. I also make sure that I read some inspirational material. Then after hardwork or completion of project, I prefer strategic refueling which energizes me to get to the next important work in life. And I always read this quote again and again if I fail in something,

"Good judgment comes from experience, experience comes from mistakes and mistakes comes from bad judgment."

I hope this quote will help you too

In his book, "Happier," author Tal Ben-Shahar points out that "happy" people tend to have "rituals"--little things they enjoy--as part of the warp and woof of their day. Whether it's exercise, going to the same coffee shop every morning, making a point to play a jazz album, lighting a candle and drinking a cup of herbal tea, the presence of rituals give a feeling of structure and contentment to every day. The effects on one's motivation (and overall "happiness") are profound.

I wake up in the morning, grab a cup of coffee, do a few jumping jacks to some sweet "pump up" music and then I'm good to go for the day.

However, if we're talking not as a day to day thing, but more of "getting out of a long-term funk" just remember that it's not permanent. If it's sleep you lack, take the day off and catch up. If you're feeling lonely, call up a friend or loved one. If you're just feel down or off a bit, then watch a ridiculously hilarious movie. I just watched the Meaning of Life by the Monty Python troupe. Despite the fact that I've seen it a million times before, it disguises absolute silliness as thought provoking encouragement. Or at least, that's how I see it.

Thanks

If I reach the point where I actually don't mind doing something, it helps, for one.

Always try to look at the big picture and the long term. Don't expect to change the world in one day, one week, one month, or even a year. Plan over a lifetime.

Motivatating yourself to do something you dislike or don't want to do that has no meaning, point or purpose to you (making money doesn't count) is likely the reason you are stuggling.

Motivation is something that is made and not just natural. (At least for me).

My motivation starts with my want to succeed. The main point of my motivation is my family. I have a great wife and 3 young daughters. My wife stays home with my girls and it is my responsibility to support everyone.

I chose to be an entrepreneur to be able to support my family and also be able to watch them grow by being at home with them.

This is what keeps me up late at night working when everyone else is asleep.

Peoples motivations are different for everyone but this is mine and I hope someone gets some help by this post!

Thanks

If you look outside yourself for something to motivate you, you won't get much done. Just start working toward a goal, taking action will motivate you. You have to set yourself on fire.
