Default Motivation Thread

I have a hard time getting motivated sometimes. I've been working on a plan to expand my business for almost three years now. I've almost finished my business plan and am getting ready to go for a business loan, etc

Recent ah, setbacks, have got me down....

Use this thread to help get on track...maybe for support for people on here to put a foot up your ****.

I'll be bumpin the thread up when I need to. Anyone else feel free to do the same.


SP4NK3R out...I got work to do.

This might work for me.
About 2+ years ago I lost a job I loved because I screwed up. Job involved driving a company vehicle. Had a low blood sugar episode due to my diabetes, and an employee had to call the paramedics for me. (Wasn't drivng at the time). Company couldn't let me drive co. vehicle anymore due to liab. considerations (I work for an insurance co.)
.
Company was good enough to give me a desk job (same pay, just W/O car), but it's B...........O..........R.........I........N....... ..G.
Find myself getting distracted a lot- like what I'm doing at this moment.
Also, it doesn't help that my boss is 50 miles away in another office.
.
Starting to think about other options.....
Someone had a thread a while back about being a car broker. Hmmmmm..........

2 business quotes that I find quite helpful to keep in the back of my mind when I need motivation are:


Become too busy doing what other people are still talking about.

Remember that 80% of people spend 60% of their time doing work that only generates 20% of their income.

Find a job you actually "love" doing, and you'll be alright...

yeah, I'm fine, I never knew the kid but it still makes you stop your busy life and look and see if there are people around you trying to ask for help. Its just sad.

Oh and sorry, I didn't mean to steal this tread.
