How To Make Yourself Work On Your Business When You Just Don't Feel Like It

Everybody has those days when you know you should work but you just flat out don't feel like it. We have those days with our jobs or with school but the difference is that at college or work you have people there that will notice if you're gone and you'll either flunk out or get fired if you just flat out don't show up. With a home based business it can be hard because if you don't want to work you really don't have to. There isn't a boss or co-workers there to bug you if you don't feel like writing articles, or calling prospects or sending out emails. For the most part you really don't have anyone to be accountable to. And while that is AWESOME in a lot of ways it can be problematic if you don't feel like working for long periods of time. So how do you make yourself work when you just plain don't feel like it?

One good thing to do is find someone who can really hold you accountable. Someone who you can be honest with and someone who will ream you out if you decide not to do what you said you were going to do. Maybe that person can be your spouse or maybe it can be someone else in your business. It really doesn't matter but what does matter is that you're able to be honest and they are really willing to keep you accountable and not give you the easy way out of things. Much like a boss would do they need to really lay down the law if you get lazy and don't feel like working.

Another good thing to do is have a list of goals or things that inspire you someone where you can see them at all times. Maybe it's right next to your computer, maybe it's on your fridge or bathroom mirror whatever. But you need to be constantly reminded that giving up is not an option because you have things to accomplish and goals to meet.

Finally, you need to set a short term goal for yourself like if you work for 3 days in a row you'll buy yourself a new pair of shoes or you'll go to dinner at that place you love. Something small and something that is so short term that you can't give up before you reach it. And it also needs to be something that will really motivate you. Also, you CAN NOT give it to yourself if you really don't do what you say you're going to do.

We all have days where we don't feel like working but you can push past it if you really try and your business will be that much better for it.
