What are some things you do to stay motivated when you feel overwhelmed? When you're at a point with your new business that you don't think you can overcome the next obstacle, what do you look to?

I'm struggling to stay motivated with my venture. Please share some tools you use.

The temptation to quit will be greatest just before you are about to succeed

Not to start a religious battle but I pray to stay focused with my eye on the prize.

My girlfriend keeps me motivated. If I give up she breaks up with me.

Continue to learn different techniques in business. Challenge yourself. Thats a great motivation i think.

just think about the value you are adding and how you have enjoyed the journey you have been on..

I wrote an article on my website OnlineMoneyHut.com that talks about this and how to stay focused and motivated. It's a long article so I won't put it here, but one of the common ways I stay motivated is through music.

I have a few theme songs for success and when I'm coming to that point that I'm losing motivation or having doubt in myself, I just put in the theme songs and keep moving. I also don't share my dreams and goals with negative people.

Write a list of all the benefits you will receive once you reach your goal. Keep this list filled with as much benefits as you possibly can. If you have 50 -100 reason you will become endlessly motivated. Why? Your desire will become so great , motivation will come with ease. Once you have completed this list, create copies of it and post it up every where you go. Look at it first thing in the morning, throughout the day and last thing b4 bed time. Do this for 30days long and you will have a motivated mindset to reach your dreams!

P.S: Don't be afraid to add things to the list later on.

Peace, How to think positive!

It's a competition for me.

If you get stuck, ask. Use your resources. Other entrepreneurs and people in general are willing to help. Just be on the look out for them and don't give up until you find someone or something that will get you past the road block.
