How Do You Keep Going When You Don't Feel Like It?
May 27, 2021
We have a buffet of suggestions. You might disagree with some of them. You might not like some of them. But they have all worked before and will work again.
- Wait until you do. Take a break. Get away and don't come back until you feel like it.
- Get going first before worrying about how to keep going.
- Put a deal together. Sometimes one small win is all you need.
- Go back and redo your 5 Why's To Purpose. When Purpose and Goals are not emotionally connected and working together, it's confusing and exhausting.
- "If you had no choice…" how would you keep going?
- Motivation is temporary. Drive lasts. Motivation will ebb and flow, and requires daily maintenance.
- Commit to multiple 5-90-10 sessions. Commit to prospecting with the same people at the same times every week. It's not the calls you make, it's that you make the calls.
- Stop focusing on money and focus on service.
- Surround yourself with good people who challenge and inspire and encourage you. (And conversely, avoid toxic people, drama queens and energy vampires.)
- Create LFT's (Look Forward To's) and share them with the people who are counting on you.
- Complete your circles. In other words, if you start something, finish it, or don't even start it.
- Upgrade your diet, sleep and exercise habits.
- Write out your goals every morning before work and every evening after work.
- Create a business that keeps working even when you're not.
- Set a date when you will feel like it again. Put it on a calendar and create countdown reminders that arrive closer together the closer you get to the date.
Carry on!
