New Poll - How Do You Stay Motivated?

**andrewmeredith** · 06-06-2009 10:59 AM

Here's what I've found most helpful:

To get up early every day at the same time
Get some good exercise
Have short yet meaningful daily objectives
Two words: Yerba Mate
Number One Motivator: Post in plain sight from my desk the thank-you letters from the Charities that WeDrink supports

Consistent goal setting keeps me motivated. Anyone on the same page as me?

I read books on making millions
I listen to music about making millions
I act like and talk like I have millions
I behave like I have millions
I drive a car that makes me look like I have millions(Silver Benz E Class 320 yr 2006) nice car
I live in a hood that makes me look like I have a million
I hang and socialize with successful and positive people

If you knew me you would think I have millions, But I don't, but eventually I will, you don't become a millionare over night you have to work towards it, prepare yourself for it

I work hard, I am in my office 6 o clock in the morning and leave at times 10 at night

STOP READING HEADLINES ABOUT A RESESSION, IT'S BULLCRAP

That's so pathetic

I hate people who act like they have millions and spend half their entire money for a nice car to impress people.

Having freedom keeps me motivated. I worked retail and then worked at an eBay store and while I really liked the second job, and liked having a stable income, I couldn't go where I want when I wanted like I can doing online sales.

Whenever I open up the credit card bill and see how much money my wife spent. J/k....but seriously.

I think motivation is something that is within a person who has a big enough desire for success.

For me it's all about being completely connected with my purpose in business. You know you're there when you're working at 4:30am one morning and you realize it's doesn't feel like work. Or when a close friend says, "Let's do..." instead of working and you tell him you've got too much going on. In ventures past I made a lot of money. But looking back, because I really didn't love what I was doing at the time, I was unfulfilled. Meaning it was easier to get distracted, goof off, take in a matinee, play some golf, take a spur of the moment road trip, etc. Since I wasn't really passionate about my business at the time, even the big money was not fulfilling. Get connected to your purpose and you'll have a blast while making a great living.

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.

Good advice. And getting away from a Deadend job.

I would say one of my main keys to staying motivated is by staying away from the news. The majority of news now a days is simply about economic collapse and it makes nothing seem worth it so I have ventured away from that and have noticed my motivation staying upbeat.

Hardwork keeps me motivated… The harder I work, the more results I will get and the more results I get, the more I will be motivated to get more.

For me, I always keep in mind that i have 4 kids to support, need savings for their schooling and to give them all the best in the world! Although, basically i can't give all of it to them but that's what keep me going and stay motivated.

With all of these economic problems and recessions, you have to think many ways on how to support our children needs and to prepare them for any recession that might happen in the future.
