How to Stay Motivated

June 19, 2010 By Michelle Shaeffer 6 Comments

A couple of weeks ago I was reading on Michele Scism’s blog and ran across a video with some great ideas about staying motivated. If you struggle with staying motivated, you’re not alone!

Here are some great suggestions from Adam Urbanski on how to keep yourself going when you hit those tough moments where you want to give up (or, turn off the computer and crawl behind your couch and hide…)

I pin up note cards on my bulletin board, and keep a folder on my computer that has screenshot images of nice things people say about me online or via email. It definitely helps on the challenging days. If you don’t have a “Fans Folder” or positivity file yet, you may like this post I wrote last year on how to create one to help you through those confidence crises we sometimes run into when we run our own businesses: http://michelleshaeffer.com/handling-a-confidence-crisis-with-your-own-positivity-file-2/2009/02/17

What do you do to stay motivated? Please share your tips in the comments!

#Blog30 Challenge – Halfway Point!

June 16, 2010 By Michelle Shaeffer 11 Comments

Whew!  This is post 16 of 30 in my attempt to complete the 30 Day Blog Challenge.  I’m halfway there!  So I’m celebrating.

If you’re participating in #blog30, feel free to post a “Yahoo!” or “Weeee!” in the comments to celebrate you being halfway through, too!  And be sure to either link to your blog or have CommentLuv bring up your last blog post.  :)

So, back to #blog30, what I really want to share is how much I’m enjoying it! Sometimes a challenge can be just what it takes to get me motivated to take action – how about you?

I’ve met so many cool bloggers and made connections with people I probably wouldn’t have run into otherwise.  I’d like to introduce you to a few of the other bloggers participating in #blog30.  Click on over to their sites and see what they’re blogging about.  If you like what you see, don’t forget to subscribe in your RSS reader or follow them on Networked Blogs.
