Unfortunately I cannot tell you how, I'm asking.
I'm making this thread in hopes that the veterans here. The Grinders. the Hustlers, the Money Makers, the Value Providers, the badass's with the "no excuses" mindset.
The Real Entrepreneurs.
I've been reading this forum for over 2 years now. Ever since then I've wanted one thing, to cultivate a ridiculous work ethic to achieve a goal.
I have been haunted by not having the motivation to do so. It eats away at me.
Most people have this same issue which is why I'm making this thread.
We all have motivation to build business's, make more money, etc. However that motivation does not last.
You make get a burst of motivation and work hard for a day, a week. But it is temporary. It goes away.
To you veterans who work 18 hours a day 7 days a week, where does your motivation come from and how do you keep at it?
Is it fear of being like everyone else? Fear of being broke? Wanting to provide for your family? Wanting to change the world?
Everyone has these reasons, but most reasons are not enough.
What keeps you going when you havent had any success yet? Once you make some money and have some success I would imagine it just gets easier and easier to keep working. But starting from scratch, trying to change your life, having to work on something for a very long time until you make your first dollar, what keep you motivated?
I made 9k last year. 9k. Think about that. I believe poverty is 20k a year, I made 9. Combination of minimum wage jobs and unemployment. You would think I wouldnt have an issue working 18 hours a day on something but I do. It's a constant struggle to stay motivated and keep working on something.
What keeps you guys going? Specifically.
What's your Mindset on an insanely high work ethic?
