Make Motivation a Habit!

Motivation gets you going and habit gets you there. Make motivation a habit and you will get there more quickly and have more fun on the trip. ~ Zig Ziglar

A majority of the work I do is from my home office. Unfortunately my home office is at my home. The same location as children, dirty laundry, dishes, carpet that needs vacuuming and much more. No matter how much motivation I start the day out with these things are always waiting to attempt to suck it right out of me or at least distract me from being motivated to advance my business.

Do you have a similar scenario? Maybe you end up in the office answering email for too long and miss great field time. Maybe you own a store that keeps you inside too early and too late so there is no one reaching out for new clientele. Maybe you’re the business ‘firefighter’, spending so much time each day putting out fires that business advancement gets lost in the smoke.

When distractions become a habit your growth is stunted. Allowing distractions to distract you may not show the effects on your business that day and it may not show for several days, but eventually there is a gap in the productivity as a result of this habit.

If any of this is you make the change immediately. I am most productive if I take notes of my productive thoughts, leave my home office, take up residence at a local coffee shop and get uninterrupted work done. Whatever it takes for you, change this bad habit today. Being distracted slows progress and creates frustration.

Take the advice of Zig Ziglar ~ Motivation gets you going and habit gets you there. Make motivation a habit and you will get there more quickly and have more fun on the trip.
