# ways of motivating yourself to work towards achievement

Sometimes, setting up a time table to finish a certain project isn't always enough to have you work at your best and make sure you meet up with the date. Projects or building products or business may suffer not being completed or dropped in the market at the right (best) time due to delays and lack of motivation from the product builders or people working on the project.

How many times would you spot an idea and a good money making potential and sit back and do nothing about it or sometimes you start and stop or just forget about it on the way.
The most successful people in the world are highly motivated and focused. Whenever they get busy with something, there is no turning back.

So how can you get yourself motivated, focused and not be a failure in what you do.
I am a writer and a building designer, to succeed in either of these fields, one needs not to be lazy and one needs to be highly focussed.If I will take longer than usually to produce completed building designs, I would slow the project, the client and the contractor. This will affect future jobs I get and I will end up not having a job at all.

As far as writing is concerned, sometimes you just dont feel like picking up a pen to write or logging on to a computer totype a story, and if you dont move yourself to do so, no words means no job to a writer, so you really need to settle down, compose yourself and come up with a good article, take your time to do reviews and corrections if you want that article to be presentable and to fetch you anything.

Sometimes you just feel too busy to do anything, so let my give you a few tips that may help.

1. put on a video and move staright to a rich fabolous scene.
2. read a quote or a page in an inspirational book
3. picture yourself in the future (as a rich and succesful individual)

In the next post we will explain more on how it is done, till then...

Nairaland is a very busy forum for nigerians to discuss all sorts of topics (including gossip) its been online for a while and is also a good spot for promoting anything targeting Nigerians.

Nigeria's Internet Startups

Many Internet Startups and mostly web2.0 startups are emerging in Nigeria. Many are just social networks, some are similar to digg and others are completely original ideas.
The main reason why we see so many Nigerian startups at this time is mainly because of the growth of Internet usage in Nigeria and these Netrepreneurs are hoping to cash in.
We will be reviewing the best of these startups and giving Nigerian Internet users the latest in other Internet and Technology news around the world.
