Motivation can be found at anytime and anywhere, the question comes on how to capitalise on it.
A few young entrepreneurs were asked this question and they had a few advice to offer.
Their suggestions are as follows:
* Diana Goodwin, AquaMobile:
If you’ve been waiting for that empowered feeling and you finally have it, take the first step to whatever it is you want to accomplish and do it as soon as possible. Once you have taken that first step, the next steps get easier and easier. The first one is always the hardest. Make sure not to let the moment pass you by.
* Kim Kaupe, ZinePak
Committing yourself to something new is a great way to keep your momentum and motivation engaged. Additionally, conquering a new skill or task will help to refuel your endorphins, thus giving your motivated high a longer runway to enjoy.
* Zev Herman, Superior Lighting
If you can act on a new idea right away, then do what you can to implement it. But if you can’t do anything immediately, don’t let your ideas dissipate. Write a note or a short game plan that you can come back to and execute later.
* Diego Orjuela, Cables & Sensors
When you are tired and unmotivated, a difficult job will not only seem insurmountable, but it will take double the effort. I leave my most difficult customer calls or toughest business decisions for when I am feeling empowered. Typically, this will be when I make my best decisions, and when they matter most.
* Adam Steele, The Magistrate
I love feeling empowered and motivated because that’s the best time to present an idea to the world. I like writing my blogs and social media releases when I’m in this kind of mood, because it feels like putting my best possible foot forward. It allows me to speak with conviction when a project is doing great.
* Patrick Barnhill, Specialist ID, Inc.
Whenever I feel motivated and confident in my ability, I know it’s time to step out of my comfort zone and take some risks. Even if it can be scary at times, the worst thing that can happen is that I might fail. I have realized that the lessons learned from a failed attempt are still worth the risk.
* Robby Berthume, Bull & Beard
Now is the time to put fingers to keys or pen to paper and get to work. When you’re motivated, it’s easy to talk about it and generate a buzz of energy, but if you talk too much, you’re just wasting that energy by not putting it toward action. The best time to work is when you want to work... so get to work and stop talking.
