Finding motivation when you have a 9-5

[Johnny boy]

Hey everyone, I just joined this forum yesterday.

Anyway, I am having major motivation issues. I work a 9-5 and when I should be working (like right now), I am constantly thinking about my business and what I can do to improve. The thing is when I get home, I literally have no energy left, so I don't work on my business then either. Basically, I can't concentrate at work or at home. Does anyone else deal with this, any tips?

Bummer! You got unlucky!

I guess I got lucky. I somehow was lucky enough to have the energy to work 16 hour days while I started my company while having a full time job.

I feel so bad for you! It’s unfortunate this thing totally out of your control is stopping you!

Actually that’s all bullshit and the truth is that you are going to need to find some damn energy.

You must hold yourself to a new set of standards. Standards you would never hold another human being to. You cannot be a typical person anymore.

I would never expect someone to spend 3 days without sleeping. Or to be on their phone doing work while sitting in an ER bed. Or to dump their girlfriend so they could get more work done.

Figure out a way to work and then to work some more. Maybe stop eating like shit. Maybe stop drinking. Maybe stop seeing your loser friends so much. Maybe hit the gym and get your blood moving more.

How tf can you have motivation issues? You get one life here on earth and it’s a mediocre one right now and you can entirely change it yourself. In what way shouldn’t that fire you tf up?
