How Successful Entrepreneurs Stay Motivated

“Success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.” – Winston Churchill

Churchill likely gained that insight from personal experience. It’s tough to stay motivated as an entrepreneur in the midst of long-days and unexpected challenges. A conversation with 35 successful entrepreneurs yielded these tips.

Remember why you became an entrepreneur  

You chose this path because something about it evoked excitement and passion. The team of entrepreneurs suggested including at least one activity, every day, that reminds you of your mission.

Connect with other entrepreneurs

Interacting with like-minded people may be just the boost you need to stay motivated. A working session, quick lunch, or even a long walk with other entrepreneurs can lead you to new ideas for growing your business.

Keep setting goals

Your self-determination led you to become an entrepreneur. Continuing to set short and long-term realistic goals keeps your head up and focused on new growth.

Engage with your customers

Talking with the people who buy from you is another tip from successful entrepreneurs. Face-to-face conversations will give you feedback about what you’re doing right and inspire you to continue to provide solutions to meet customer needs.

Celebrate successes

Taking time to acknowledge small milestones on your way to the final goal can keep you and your team motivated.  Entrepreneurs rarely have fast or easy success, so the small celebrations can boost morale.

Consider the alternative

Starting down the path of entrepreneurship means you’re no longer building someone else’s business. You’re in control of your success. Remembering that you steer the ship can motivate you to keep moving forward.

Think of Every Day as a New Opportunity

Although some days present a mountain of challenges, successful entrepreneurs remind themselves tomorrow provides another chance to conquer the hill and forge ahead.
