Did you see my last email about finding time on your
calendar? If you missed it, you can still read it by clicking here.
The last email talked about using your calendar to determine where your priorities are based on your actions. You can tell what you REALLY want by looking at how you
spend your time. Maybe you just KINDA want it.
If you know that building an online business will make a difference in your life, but sometimes struggle with finding the motivation to actually do the work, then there are a few things you can do.
In his recent book High
Performance Habits, the author Brendon Burchard talks about what high performers do to create and keep their motivation.
One of the things he talks about is their ability to Raise the Necessity.
If you see achieving a particular as absolutely necessary,
then you are more likely to be willing to do the work to achieve it. If it is just a "nice to have", then you probably won't ever get it.
How can you raise the necessity?
One way is to think about WHO you are doing it for.
Most people are much more motivated to take action for someone they care about. If you child or spouse absolutely needed you to do something, you would probably find a way.
So the question is ... who are you trying to build your online business for?
How would having a successful online business improve the lives of the people you love?
Imagine their lives, if you have more resources and freedom. Imagine being able to work from anywhere. Imagine being able to pay for your children's education without debt. Imagine taking your loved ones on the vacation they always dreamed of.
That is what you are doing the work for. More importantly, that is WHO you are doing the work for.
If you do this daily, then you will find yourself much more motivated to get focused and accomplish the result.
