Success has a lot to do with your sense of being Find out how to train yourself to make money and stay in tune with your mind, body and soul
Last month, I interviewed 38 online entrepreneurs and asked “how do you stay motivated when working on your goals?”.
Here are my main takeaways, you can check the whole article if you want to read each contribution in depth.
BEFORE YOU START: SET GOALS THAT KEEP YOU PUMPED. Most of the work to stay motivated is done right at the start, to make sure you have the right goals.
Grant Cardone talked about setting monster goals that are so big your problems go away, while Chris Guillebeau and Evan Carmichael stressed how following your true passion is the best way to make sure you won’t give up along the way.
Thinking long term and considering your legacy is another way to create goals that will stay. Lewis Howes said how thinking about the legacy he wants to leave behind is fundamental to strong goals, and Brian Tracy suggests having a clear vision of what you want your life to look like in the future.
SMART goals principles were also a recurring theme, with Justin Jackson and Joe Pulizzi sharing how important it is to have an “accomplish by” date, a deadline.
THE DAILY WORK: SET YOURSELF UP FOR SUCCESS. Although strong goals tend to be longer-term, it’s important to break goals down into smaller chunks and track the daily progress.
Martina McGowan, Andrea Beltrami, and Joshua Coffy, all talked about the importance of acknowledging your daily small wins, while Graham Allcott suggested scheduling regular progress reviews to make sure you’re on top of things. Having other people support you can be an important part of this process, and Jaime Masters shared how valuable it is to be able to count on the support of her team and her mastermind group to keep on track.
Creating the right conditions for you to move forward is a choice that will make the daily grind a lot easier.
Shawn Stevenson mentioned the importance of health, fitness, and sleep. Jordan Harbinger put emphasis of only doing things that are fun, while Mike Vardy boosts his productivity by focusing on one thing at a time using the principle of time theming.
Lastly, contemplate the impact you are making. Ramsay Taplin explained how considering the impact his work makes on other people’s lives is a great way to pick yourself up when you feel a bit demotivated.
