    i am also very lazy, but when i decide that i have to do something i just get down to work.....

    best way to motivate yourself is by thinking of your goal, which is unachieved.....

    this is what i do but everyone has a different approach.

    Focus. Meditate. Keep your mind away from unnecessary distractions.

    Think of something you've always wanted to buy - an expensive mobile phone, a car, a laptop, anything. Go to the showroom and do some window shopping. Look at the price tag, check out what you've got in your pocket. You'll feel like kicking yourself. THAT, my friend, is the motivation.

    I always motivate myself with small instant-gratification type rewards. I really really really want to be my own boss, but that thought is not enough to motivate me on its own because I won't be getting satisfaction instantly. So, I make a list of things I want to get done for the day, then I work through the list trying to accomplish each goal. I put down things like "call IRS about tax info" or "add 2 articles to website". Then, I will set a time I want to be done by. For me, that's usually around 6pm or so. I get done as much as I can by 6, even if I don't get through the entire list. It's always impossible for me to get everything done, so you just have to be proud of what DOES get done. Then, at my end time I reward myself by doing the things that really make me happy like playing my 360, watching my favorite tv show, or surfing the net. I love to play video games, so that's usually my reward....Using this, I am able to get lots of things done, but also have time to do the things I really enjoy doing (and not feel bad about sitting on my a** playing a game)....

    Wite down your objectives with a time target. Work towards it.

    Set reachable goals, dont make your objectives to high. Make them so they can be easily met, and raise them as you make them

    The first dollar I made was motivation enough... I wanted ten times that, then when I made $10 I wanted ten times that, then when I made $100, I wanted ten times that....

    Working towards $10,000 now and I'm more than halfway there... and nothing feels better than waking up and looking at your account and realising you've done it with your own skills, your own knowledge and your own work (even though I don't really work at all :p)

    Go work at a retail store that doesn't do much business.


    I'm thinking a mattress store would be a good fit for you.

    Start by learning to use descriptive titles!

    But seriously if you haven't made a single dollar after two years you gotta change whatever you were doing

    thats bad, you might actually wanna see if you have A.D.D. or something, you might not be able to concentrate on stuff basically you lose your attention span after like 5 mins.
