  • I believe that if you track the progress of anyone relying on only one method to stay motivated, you’ll eventually see them fall down.

    Personally, I use all the methods you listed. I also use anti-motivators. For example, if a person is working at a job he hates, it’s an anti-motivator. During those moments when you’re doing something you’d rather not be doing, soak in it…take it all in…feel your displeasure from the activity and allow those feelings to strengthen your conviction of reaching your goals.

  • While i don’t RUN a business of my own, i do work out of my home as a blog writer. and it has some of the same aspects as owning your own business…and i personally stay focused by picturing the future that i want, or by picturing the thing’s that i need for my family which ultimately take money and hard work to get.

  • I stay motivated by making sure I get enough sleep, enough fun non-work activities in my week, and by taking vacation. I actually get much more done during my work day when I keep my life balanced, then when I’m trying to work too much. I breakdown daunting tasks into a lot of little goals, so I can feel like I’m accomplishing something, and reward myself for completing big projects.

  • I find that the more purpose-centered I am, the less I can tolerate just sitting around, not really doing anything meaningful.

    I start to get anxious when I waste too much time. Having a meaningful purpose (or several) in my life is a big motivator for me. :-)

  • Sheryl,

    How do you typically reward yourself? And does it work as a motivator for you?
