“Recipe for success. Study while others are sleeping; work while others are loafing, prepare while others are playing, and dream while others are wishing.” - William A. Ward

What this means to me is that home business success does not come easily. It comes through sacrifice. It means giving up present pleasures for future benefits. Every time I do not give time to my business and get lazy I am actually robbing myself of a successful future. It is said that people are motivated by either plain or pleasure. So what motivates you- pain or pleasure? What motivates me is the pain of the likelihood of having a future of financial struggles. I do not want to have those struggles so I am willing to put in the time to create a future of financial security. The problem then becomes developing a sustainable motivation that will drive you towards disciplined action. Andre considers internal motivation to be like a muscle. Are you exercising that muscle every day so that you get into the daily discipline of action? My struggle has not been so much getting into action but more so devoting ample time towards study. The quote above has motivated me to get into my training at a more consistent level…especially the part “study while others are sleeping”.
