Launching a new business is not easy. You have to give up the comforts of a stable paycheck to delve into the unknown, an unpredictable abyss. A lot of things keep us from making the leap—things like fear and insecurity. And one thing above all the rest is motivation
Plan.
Know your three steps forward. You do not need
more. Fill out your weekly calendar, noting when you will do what and how. When-what-how is important to
schedule. Review how each day went by what you learned and revise what you can improve
Get rid of distractions.
Meaningless things and distractions will always
be in your way, especially those easy, usual things you would rather do instead
of focusing on new challenging and meaningful projects. Learn to focus on what
is the most important. Write a list of time-wasters
and hold yourself accountable to not do them
Imagination
When things are going well, you are full of
positive energy, and when you are experiencing difficulties, you need to be
even more energetic. If you keep repeating I hate my work, guess which
feelings those words will evoke? It’s a matter of imagination! You can always
find something to learn even from the worst boss in the world at the most boring
job
Make the journey fun.
It’s an awesome game! The minute you make it serious, there’s a big chance
it will start carrying a a heavy emotional weight and you will lose perspective and become stuck
again.
