2 Tricks to Stay Motivated

Zack Greenfield • December 26, 2022

On this video I'm gonna share with you two tips on how to stay motivated when things are getting you down. They seem really hard and or the project is really big and just seems daunting. 

We all have trouble staying motivated at times. You are not alone. If you're watching this video, you may be struggling with something, and I certainly have, and I know many people that struggle with staying motivated. And a lot of times that has to do with like a big thing. And certainly when running your business, marketing your business, the projects can be big and there's a lot involved to get 'em off the ground. It can just be hard sometimes to stay motivating when you're not seeing results. So here are two tips that we use and I personally use, but also we use as a team to stay motivated and, and get things done, even when it's big and overwhelming. The first thing to do is set hallmarks that are small goals, right? So if it's a fitness situation, and you guys know, I'd love to use that sometimes as a metaphor here on the channel, you know, if you wanna, you know, this year I'm gonna work out, so okay, great.  Or I'm gonna exercise. It's like, all right, that's like a big one.Like maybe just say for next 30 days, or even for some of us that might be like, I'm gonna exercise this week, you know, and take it down into little hallmarks. Now that can also be true for a project. Like, we're gonna get this piece done, piece A, that's gonna allow us to do piece B and then pc, and then piece, you know, D and that's what it takes. So break the big stuff down into small stuff. You've probably heard that before. I'm not saying anything new here. I'm just saying that it does work, especially when you're having some motivation problems. The side benefit of that is it also helps in the organizational department as well. And the next one I'm gonna give you is a mindset shift. 

We are so focused on results these days, and we're so comparative, right? And that really can hurt our motivation and frankly our self-esteem. So I think the thing to work on is to be looking at yourself in process or looking at the project as in process, right? Or whatever the situation is. So not focusing on the end result so much, focusing on being great in the process, doing better in the process, better with workflow, better with timing, better with communication, better with execution, right? In that process to be getting better and better and better naturally is going to give you better results. So if you really present in your projects at the wherever you are, instead of in fantasy land out here where the results are because you're not there yet, that's a mind shift mindset shift. And when you can make that shift, it's much easier to stay motivated because you can see the small gains, you're accepting the challenges and meeting the small challenges or the micro failures, if you will, that are gonna get you the larger result that you want. So try those two things. Get the focus away from the results so much. They will naturally come when you're in the present, doing a great job. I can't wait for you to like this video. Hopefully it, uh, help maybe set some things straight if you're feeling like you're overwhelmed in having some motivational problems. And if not, maybe the next video will help.
