Tip of the Day:


So I’ve got your tips and I’m actually exited about today’s tips, because I have already found myself in a rut, not being very motivated at times…so I hope that the next time you need to feel a little better, not feeling to good then take these five easy tips into account…

1. Decide On Your Goals And Write Them Down - To get motivated, you need to know what you're aiming to achieve, so plan short, medium and long term goals. The goals you choose need to be realistic and achievable. Write your goals down and place them in a spot where they're clearly visible and remember to re-visit them as often as possible.Tell somebody else about your goals and dreams. Verbalizing and visualizing your goals makes them feel real.


2. Don't Let Your Feelings Get In The Way - We don't always wake up every morning with the exuberance we would like, particularly when there's no time-card to be punched. People with work from home businesses require a level of self motivation that those in the regular work force can't even begin to imagine.Feelings are only that - feelings. They DON'T run your life!Remember the old song "Some Days Are Diamonds, Some Days Are Stone?" Life is a bit like that; some days you'll wish you never got out of bed, others you'll power through your day.


3. Stop Procrastinating - Procrastination kills self motivation, but procrastination can be overcome with a well-structured daily schedule. People with work from home businesses, particularly Internet businesses, can find it difficult to set up a daily schedule because every day is different. The aim is to prioritize your tasks, giving the highest priority to those activities that will make you money.


4. Reward Yourself - Reward yourself with a night off and watch the latest release DVD, or go to the park with the kids. If you've had a financial gain, play a round of golf or have your hair done - it will make you feel great. Here's a self-motivation suggestion from a friend who works for himself: "I like to write down my to-do list and award myself a large red tick as I complete each item. It may sound silly, but those big red ticks help give me a feeling of achievement."


5. Have Fun - Learning to enjoy yourself while you work your home based business keeps you enthusiastic and motivated, and staying enthusiastic and motivated helps you keep your stress levels under control.Self motivation is its own reward and a jewel in the cap of your new-found freedom in successfully operating your very own work from home business.

Quote of the Day:

Bertrand Russell - The only thing that will redeem mankind is cooperation

It’s time for me to love and leave you. You must have oh so super Thursday. Let’s chat again tomorrow…Much Love…Peace.
