As an entrepreneur you have control over each hour, day, week, month and year of your life. The choices you make allow you to live the kind of life that you want to live. You're on your own schedule that is not dictated by working for someone else. That is motivation.

I have fun. Remember, you don't have to be Mr./Ms. Formal and Dull when you have your own business. I made that mistake at the start. I wore a suit and acted like a consultant!!! Now I show up at meetings wearing what I like and acting like I do normally. I also love what I do so I don't need much motivation to keep at it.

On the other hand, I don't know how I would survive if I was working a 9-5 job.

I keep myself motivated by watching videos. especially those videos used by pro-affiliate marketers. or read blogs of people who are already successful at the things that I want to do. i don't subscribe to their programs, by I try to pick their brains through the free stuffs that they're giving. and I always have this thought at the back of my head that if it's possible for some people, it's possible for me, too.

the internet is THE great equalizer.
Starting on a journey... and getting there

I love the motivation that my business can still go higher. The potential is unlimited and the increase in profit is very nice to keep me going.

College keeps me motivated. I realize that I don't want to study and never want to get a corporate day job. So, having to waste a few hours everyday in a class room, or two days a week this semsester, keeps me motivated to grow my businesses.
Motivation to get good grades however does not exist in my life

For me this has the opposite effect, because I compare myself to others who may be barely making it by, which lowers my personal expectations. Maybe I shouldn't size myself up against others and just focus on personal goals

I simply look at all the things that i don't want to be and strive not to end up the same way.

I have a bulletion board where I visualise my goals through pictures. It is the first thing I see in the morning, and it really keeps me focused!

You can for instance hang up pictures of nice cars and real estates if you want to become rich, or pictures of beautiful women if you're single looking for a girlfriend.

Surround yourself with people and things that keep you in good spirits about your ideas. Your atmosphere can really make a difference.

I started a group we call EC that mee up every month and we all talk about what we have done. If you haven't done anything you like like a tard. That motivates you..
