How do you stay motivated as a founder? 💪

Staying motivated as a founder involves: - Connecting with the company's mission. - Setting clear goals. - Remaining adaptable. - Having a supportive team. - Prioritizing self-care. Balancing persistence with flexibility and focusing on the larger purpose helps maintain drive and resilience.

Well let's see, could be that fire behind my ass that keeps me motivated - LOL But honestly working from a point of fear is only sustainable so long as there is a fire. @vaibhavdwivedi nailed it in the comments - the best motivation is always your WHY? I'd expand on that by saying your "Why" is not just what you "want" but also what you DON'T want that can be very motivating. Maintaining forward momentum means you're continually evolving. I'd like to point out how tangentially connected personal growth is to business growth. There is a compelling reason for this; In my experience business has a way of pointing out our weaknesses. We can then choose to address them or ignore them. Those that choose to grow from those wake-up moments learn the way forward and break the old habits. Those that don't, don't.

Always go back to your WHY. It has be to strong enough!

Hi Priyanka! Great question 🙌 I ask Marlee (our AI) different questions related to my personal motivations. Here's one eg of what Marlee says when I ask "how can I motivate myself"... "Creating Spaces of Belonging 🏡 You love being part of 'the club' - places where everyone feels like they belong; spaces filled with friendship and trust! Ensuring good atmosphere at work is vital for you. Let this reflect in how you deal with others around you – your coworkers will appreciate it!" & then under "What will drain me", Marlee writes...(& BTW Marlee nailed this one - time blindness is something I really struggle with!) "Mastering Time Management ⏳ While long-term planning may not come naturally to you due to its low priority in your life right now, consider trying simple time management techniques - like setting short-term goals for each day or week. This way, you’re focusing on tasks within sight but still contributing towards larger objectives." How do you maintain motivation out of interest?
