What motivates you?
One thing I absolutely love is a clean house. I love the smell of lemon, freshness, and seeing a clutter free space.
BUT.
I hate to clean.
I have had cleaning help off and on so I get the RESULTS I want without any effort, but you know what? I think I enjoy my clean house that much more when I do the cleaning myself.
I have a love/hate relationship with exercise, too.
I don’t like the plank pose, and the treadmill is boring. But I love the RESULTS of exercise. I feel better, I have more energy, and my pants aren’t too tight. Hooray! It’s enough to keep me going.
So for me, doing the hard things like exercise and cleaning are all about RESULTS. I think this mindset of getting through hard things applies to almost anything in life, especially your business.
Launching a business is EXCITING, but not every part of launching your business will be fun. Much of it is hard.
For example, many of our clients want a steady flow of prospects from a well-written, compelling website, along with vibrant Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook spaces, but most dislike claiming a specialty (niche), writing website content, or figuring out how to tweet, link and face with people.
What if you could focus on the RESULTS of pushing through these things? Would it be easier to create awesome content, unique services, and a marketing presence online?
What do you think, are you motivated by RESULTS? What helps you push through the hard things?
Look forward to your comments.
