Hey everyone,
A little bit about me if you don't mind...
I found MJ's book 7 months ago, and now I've made money online and connected with 5-6 figure/month business coaches. Prior to that, I was an aspiring musician and never read a business book in my life. No business connection or any help either, as everyone around me is ok being middle class (nothing morally wrong with that, just not my cup of tea). So you can see I've made quite a progress to get here. Everything I've accomplished so far derives from me and my computer in my room. Even though I'm not making much at the moment, it's passive income, has freedom, and scalable. It's been a ride to say the least, exhilarating in many aspects I couldn't have imagined.
My question is how do you maintain motivation EVERY SINGLE DAY? There are days that I can work 8-10 hours or more without even a slight glitch. However, some days I wake up and feel like the will power has all been used up, requiring mental rest. There's nothing wrong with having a break once in a while, but the problem is this "mental rest" is becoming stronger and longer. For example, in a week I might take 2-3 days of rest with barely any work done. This rarely happened when I first started and is obviously unacceptable. I suppose getting started was hard, but what's even harder is to maintain your progress and consistency. This makes me curious how incredibly successful people find that mental strength to get through their tasks every single day. What type of rest do you take so that when you come back to work you are still motivated and excited to complete your goals? How can some day it's so easy to get things done and some it seems almost impossible?
Hopefully, I'm not the only one having this problem...
Any advice is really appreciated.
