How you motivate yourself to work hard ?

From what I've learned and tested myself, the most powerful way is to use both motivations.

First is the love of obtaining what you wish to have. Think and feel how awesome your life will be, and how great you are going to feel in your own skin.

And secondly, make living the way you life painful. Think about all the things you are missing out if you don't do nothing, and how bad you feel without progress.

Love for what you want + hate for your current situation = Enough emotional energy to lose nights working towards your dream.

I totally agree! motivation isn't the only factor to get things done and become successful. this is how i work as well. Knowing yourself and acting accordingly is the pretty importanr

yeah! right. I also do the same thing when demotivated.

Good steps for motivation.
of course, we can motivate yourself by keeping in the mind of our goal and dreams.

what would you use today.. with the number of options available that are low overhead and few to no employees . or no full time all year employees.. busier time you hire people on for a few months .

Maybe.

The people that work hard generally work in a job that requires that they work hard.

Every time I read a question about motivation, it's from someone that doesn't have to work hard to survive.
For example, if you are in internet marketing, how the heck could you work hard if you wanted to?

Even when I was selling in people's homes, how could I work hard? I was just talking to people. Most people in regular jobs would call it goofing off.

By the way, asking us how to get motivated is an odd question to me. If you aren't motivated, why would you want to be?

For example, if you suffer from ED, maybe you want viagra, because you still want sex.
But if someone were disinterested in sex, would they really want a pill that made them interested in sex?

If I don't like butterscotch pudding, would I want to find a way to like it? No. I'd simply not like it.

So the idea of wanting to be motivated, when you are not motivated, seems strange to me.

i understand what you are saying..as robots and computers, and AI replace more and more need for human "hard work.. " those who will win will be the ones who"work hard" developing the skills to use the machine/computers/ai in a productive capacity ..and then work hard developing the skills to market and sell what they produce to customers..

people who buy the stuff will only give to Sh#$@ and A F*&* how much hard work was done.. depending on the price and what was done in front of their eyes .

the concert pianist puts in hard work .. practicing a song for hundreds of hours maybe even a thousand hours.. so he or she looks to do it effortlessly in a concert hall with five hundred or a thousand people who has spend a few hundred buck to here her play for a few hours

that is the kind of hard work that leads to success..

now one of the things i have learned in the last week ..is many entrepreneurs fail and work a lot harder while they are crashing and burning.. because they are using the wrong business model for their skill and finance level . so basically just trying things that can't be done from where they are

no amount of hard work will get someone past the point in business where they need to hire and pay others ..who either know what needs to be done or need to be trained ..

so to add to something you said .. claude .. someone not only needs to get a job that requires hard work..to see what it is really like..but also work hard enough where the get put in charge with managing and training others ..and working in a team .. rather than reading books on leadership and teamwork ..

Well dang that's motivational. Seriously.

Music helps. I listen to everyday "logic - everyday"
