Self Motivation Is Not Easy In Network Marketing
Sometimes self motivation is not easy to come by, especially in network marketing in a home based business. Working from home allows you a lot of freedoms that you don't have when you have a J.O.B. and it can be difficult at times to structure an environment that will create a lot of productivity. If you are working a full time job and doing a home based business, sometimes after a long and stressful day at work it can be even harder to focus on spending more time "working" and having to dig way down deep for the self motivation to get started can be tough.
Self motivation is an interesting factor in all our lives. When you work a job, you are motivated to meet project deadlines, perform certain duties, meet someone else's objectives, adhere to scheduled meetings, etc. You can really stress yourself out, more out of fear of losing your job, not living up to company expectations you need to meet based on periodic performance reviews or not getting a promotion and pay raise based on someone else's opinion of your value add in you position. You can't just "slack off" because those reports, etc., have to get done!
So you say to yourself, "self motivation!?!?!? I am stressed out, burned out and I have no energy to do one more thing but plant myself in that chair!"
I truly feel your pain because I have been there and done that myself. At one point in my life, I worked 3 jobs at the same time. 2 forty-hour a week jobs (office by day, waitress by night) and one 16 hour a week job (hostessing on weekends). It seemed like most of the time I didn't know if I was coming or going, what day it was, and wondered what the hell I was doing it for anyway. I was so burned out, stressed out and so stinking tired I didn't know if I could keep up the pace. But somehow I muddled my way through it until I got so sick I went to bed and didn't even wake up for three days. I got so caught up in the hamster wheel that I lost sight of my "WHY". I was moving on empty and had no energy left for me or my family. Not a good place to be in...... What kind of self motivation was that? Empty!
Self Motivation Is Fueled By Your Why
The moral of the story; the biggest and best form of self motivation is not losing site of your why and knowing exactly what you want to achieve. When you focus on the why, you have to nurture your energy so you can channel it to get the results you want. To simply say, "I want more money" isn't good enough. Why do you want more money, what will you do with it when you get it. When you say "I want to spend more time with my family" ask Why and what are the things you want to do when you have more time to spend.
For me sustaining a high level of self motivation is not always easy.
By knowing exactly what you want, why you want it and setting tangible and manageable goals for yourself, it makes it a lot easier to get up off the coach, bring forth your self motivation, and focus on getting your end results. If you have a purpose for what you are doing, a vision of your success, a desire to help others achieve success and a road map of where you are going you will create a new future and get there. It is so important to give your work a purpose. If you are working really hard and don't know why, you are striving for empty goals that you can never really achieve.
To help with that self motivation, create a schedule for yourself and, if you have a full time job, try to set aside at least two hours a day (maybe one hour in the morning and one hour at night) to work at your network marketing business. Talk to your family and get their support by expressing your vision of how and why you want to make a better life for you and for them. By all means, schedule free time for you and your family to be together, if married plan one night a week for a date night with your spouse. Make time to be alone with yourself, at least 10 or 15 minutes a day, so you can re-energize yourself and recharge that battery.
Are you saying "self motivation.... phooey! I don't have time to make a home based business work"?
If this is you then face it.... "You Don't Really Want It and Your "Why" is NOT Strong Enough"! Don't waste your time and money on something that will never happen for you. Don't set yourself up for failure. This business is not for you. Ask your self the question, "do I even want to make money from home"? Be honest with your answer because you are the only one that will know it
