Hey, how's it going? It's Ollie here. I want to talk to you about motivation. How do you motivate yourself to get work done day in, day out so you can build systems in your business, be consistent and really start to build momentum? First of all, when we talk about motivation, it's easy to think about how to get yourself really pumped up to, you know, have that drive to want to hit your goal. Unfortunately, the reality is you're not always going to feel motivated to get a ton of work done. So I want to give you a few techniques you can use to get work done even if you don't feel like it. So it becomes a habit that you do subconsciously. So one thing that really, really helped me when I was trying to get a business off the ground was building in habits of doing an essential task to build my business every single day. Now you do this for enough consecutive days in a row, all of a sudden you'll have taken loads and loads and loads of action to build momentum in your business. You'll start making tons of sales, things will start to evolve and erupt and snowball. But you have to be taking this consistent action for it to work. It's like going to the gym and working out. It's not just about one workout, one exercise, or one really healthy meal. It's about how your meals and workouts are over the course of a few months. That's what makes real change. So to kick off this habit of taking consistent action every day, I used to use a habit tracker. Now you could just get like an Excel spreadsheet or maybe there's a load of apps like Coach Me that enable you to do this. And what you do is you put a little cell on a database for every day of the week. So Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, you can work weekends if you want, get even more stuff done. So Monday to Sunday, and it's a really simple spreadsheet. You put the task on the left hand side of what you want to achieve, the days on the top, and then let's say it's product research to sell products on your Amazon account. And then each day when you complete the task, you color in the cell green. So that indicates to you that you've achieved what you want to achieve for the day. Now, to make this like almost instinctual, you want to start off with the easiest amount of time to dedicate to this task. So for me, I used to say, okay, I'm going to do 15min of product research per day, every single day, right? That's how it starts. Could be I'm going to find 20 products to sell in my account every single day, whatever it is, right? Very, very small, very, very achievable. Some days you'll start working and you'll be like, man, you know what, this is quite fun. I'm going to go on for a few hours and you feel like it. You feel motivated and pumped and energized and it's easy. Other days you just, I can't be bothered to do any work. And you know, doing the 15 minutes is like I'm just going to do that and then I'm done. But here's the thing. If you do a little bit of work every day, do that for three weeks, you'll actually start to build a habit. Then you won't even have to think about doing work every single day, right? It will happen in the background. If you spend a little bit of time building this foundation in the beginning, then in the future you'll get rewarded by being able to outsource stuff to virtual assistance. You don't have to do the work anymore. Moving on to strategies with more leverage where you know if you've got bigger chunks of capital, you can buy larger amounts of stock and it will sell in the background without you having to do so much grinding. And you know, things really pay off. Plus you get to build an unbelievable business.
