How to stay motivated: Put gas in your moneymaking engine.
 

Have you just started in this business?

Been in it for a while and getting discouraged?

Making good money but not sure how to take it to the next level?

No matter what stage of your business you are at there will always be the challenge to stay motivated, keep growing your business and reaching new heights. You need to be constantly on the lookout for new opportunities and testing and experimenting with moneymaking methods in this business.

I recall making $300 in a month for the first time. I was so excited! That was my car payment and I was ecstatic to have reached that level. Now I make that much in a morning. It seems my business grows in spurts. I may seem 'stuck' at an income range for a couple of months then one month it would jump 25 to 50% and I would never return to the old range. Of course the months my income jumped gave me motivation for me to keep going.

How do I stay motivated during the months when my incoming doesnt seem to be growing the way I want it to? I stay the course. I keep active by trying to always build something everyday. Even if I dont have the time or energy to build something on a particular day I try to read an interesting article, visit productive messageboards or signup for sponsors programs .

But what's the #1 thing I do that keeps me motivated?

I learn new things about the biz.

The key I think is to treat this like a business - not a hobby - and do not to let days or weeks go by where you don't learn something new. Learning new things is like putting gas in your moneymaking engine. Everytime you learn something new you are expanding your knowledge/experience about the biz which will eventually result in a higher income over time. And no matter what stage your are at there is always something new to learn.

For example, my most recent learning adventure has been blogs. I read about them, researched them and recently finished my first WordPress installation. Now that is what I call learning new things.

This applies to learning things you think you may never use. For example -- You're not in the TGP business so you don't care how it works? That is not the way to think! Read articles about TGPing just so you understand how it works, understand the issues and tools people use in that circle... many times you will get a spark of ingenuity and a lightbulb will go off in your head with an idea of how to apply what works in the tgp business to your own business. Don't disregard other moneymaking methods cuz you think they don't apply to you. They do!

So make it a habit to work on your business everyday, learn something new about the biz whenever you can (even if you think you will never use the info) and your income will increase slowly but surely.

very goood thread

I gotta jump on the bandwagon and agree, great post as always from you! I took some of your earlier advice and locked in my first blog domain today. Now I'm going to start trying to do the wordpress thing myself and see if I can make my newest vision turn into reality.
Keep up the great work!

i just think of 'What's Donald Trump doing RIGHT NOW?' and can't help but imagine he's BALLING hardcore at the moment, and that gets my ass in gear, can't let The Dn show me up without a fight! lol!

It's hard to stay motivated sometimes...good post

thanks for the inspiration!

great post

Here's a quick way to stay motivated. Keep thinking about the shitty job you would have if you failed at this. Think about NOT being able to provide for your children as well. You'll get your ass up every day and do this.

Or just go crazy on your credit cards and keep looking at your bills :1orglaugh

Another excellent post :thumsbup

hey pornhero... it's great to see another successful torontoian webmaster here!

Great post mate. T'ank ye.

:pimp

Some great posts bro.

Your my porn hero :)

I was too lazy to read it. What did it say?

Hehe... Just kidding. Good post.

I agree, I didn't want to touch TGPs mostly because it looked like a LOT of work, lots of tools/software needed as well as design, etc. But I read up on it anyway, found the tools, tried them and at least now I know.

I have a few TGPs I started just for testing and now, if I decide to go that route I've got over the initial hesitation - I know a bit about them.

Still too much work though! :winkwink:

Yep thats what I needed great stuff :thumbsup

good post, but quick way from BVF is what i use from time to time ...

No kidding. After doing this for over 6 years :eek7 I've been bored out of my skull for huge chunks of time the past couple of years. Recently, though, I've found something that has rekindled my interest, and that enthusiasm spills over into my other ventures.

The trick is to keep learning new stuff and trying different things - something I neglected to do for a few years.

GFY is my worst enemy for productivity, but it keeps me motivated! What a paradox.

Great post, Pornhero. Can I get your permission to reprint it on http://justtraffic.blogspot.com ?
