Motivation - Where to Find It
by Kara Kelso & Anita DeFrank

While we all have our own ways of finding motivation, sometimes we all need a little shove. We'll tell you what gets us moving when you don't feel like doing anything at all.

One of the perks of owning a business is working your own hours. However, it can be very tempting to just say "I don't feel like working today". You do have the option to do that without "losing your job". But every day you take off, the motivation to work on your business gets a little less.

Before you know it, your motivation is completely gone. You don't feel like working at all, and start to feel your business is failing. Well of course it is if you aren't doing anything!
Obviously what you need to do is get your motivation levels back to normal. You have to WANT to work on your business to succeed. The best way to find motivation is actually pretty simple...

Read.

When you don't feel like working directly on your business (or really don't know what to do), this is the best time to do something indirect. Read, learn about new ideas, soak up information, and find new projects.

Read until you find the spark, and run with it. Which it WILL hit, simply because new ideas get us excited. Business owners love to be busy, or we wouldn't be building a business to begin with.

Visit your favorite WAHM resource websites. First you'll want to browse around the article / resource sections and - yup, you guessed it - read. Read the articles and make notes - no, not mental notes. Open a word processing document or even better, pull out that old notebook and pen. Make notes of anything that jumps out at you. Before you know it, you're note taking session will turn into a "brain dump" listing all your ideas for your next project.

After you've read all the articles you want to, and you're looking for some more motivation ... hop on over to your favorite WAHM message boards. Browse around older topics and join in on some of the conversations. Visit your favorite blogs and read what they have been doing, or resources they recommend.

So the next time you feel your motivation lacking, go and learn something new or review things you've already learned. The main idea is to keep yourself involved one way or another. Keep active and the motivation will stay with you. You'll be surprised how fast your business grows with motivation!
