One very important value that an entrepreneur must take note of is maintaining his/her motivation towards achieving his goals. Motivation is indeed very important because it drives ones action, gives purpose and value to what we do in life.

Now, upon searching some good articles to keep me motivated, I found this straightforward and easy ways to grow our self motivation.

While self-motivation is a simple concept, we all know that it’s one of the hardest things to attain. Despite purely good intentions, most of us are better at slacking off than getting motivated. But, no matter what your attention span it is possible for you to motivate yourself and reach your goals; you just need to follow a few simple steps.

1. Know what you’re doing
2. Stay positive
3. Set mini-goals
4. Reward yourself
5. Have a backup

These tips quoted above are from Vera Raposo’s post about discovering ways to grow self motivation.

Btw, Vera has been an entrepreneur since age 22, literally negotiating a lease for her first retail store in 1997, which then also began her online business with eBay. And now, its 2009 and she’s actively sharing tips – motivation tips, to what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur. Thanks Vera for your post. Now, I’m sharing it too.

In addition to Vera’s tips, I would love to share that tip #1: Knowing what you’re doing is important but it is more important to LOVE and Enjoy what you’re doing.

Say for example: You know you are blogging. You write any topics as you wished. You know it can be important to your business.

The question now is, do you love and enjoy what you’re exactly doing?

IMHE, girlopinion.com was actually an entertainment website, the first day it was launched. It lasted for about 6 months when I realized I don’t enjoy anymore writing purely about entertainment. Simply because, I have always wanted to have my personal touch to the topic that I’m really interested of.

This is why, it evolves to be an online diary of an aspiring ITpreneur. Sharing different stories of hers and others’ interesting lives and also enjoying herself with the freedom to write what she feels worth sharing.

Now, it’s your turn guys. What are your tips to maintain and grow self motivation? Please feel free to drop by your tips on the comments section below. Thanks!
