Sometimes entrepreneurship can be just as dull, taxing and boring as working for corporate America. Here’s how to stay driven:
1. Track Your Daily Income
If within your grasp to define how much you make (as in how many projects you complete per day, etc.) then this can be a serious way to stay committed. First, calculate how much you’d realistically like to make per year, then break it down per week, per day, and finally per hour. Once you know how much you “need” to make each day, track it with each task/project completed. When you see you’re just $40 short of the day’s goals, that can be enough to give you an energy boost.
My friend John Rampton suggests “you have to know your numbers, each and every day. Instead of buying that fancy car, save the money towards something that will make you money instead of take it away. Tracking your income on a daily basis will help you to stay more on top of your bills and pay off credit cards before they can accrue interest.”
