It's one things to start writing a book, it's another thing to finish it -- and the successful writer knows motivation is a big key to that. Here's the 3rd tip in this series... 3. Model Other Successful Writers. When you need that extra boost to stay motivated, conduct some research and learn how other writers or famous people started out. The majority at one time or another waited tables, worked construction, or cleaned houses. They weren't always successful but had to work their way up. Seeing the success of people we admire is a great way to stay motivated. Each one of them had to be 100% committed in order to meet schedules and deadlines. Knowing that other people go through the same emotions and struggles, and learning what they did to get past those barriers, will help you out a lot. Another thing you can do is look at HOW they stay motivated. Many of them share their "secrets" in their writings. You can even approach some of them via email or telephone and ASK them how they overcome difficulties. What you want to do is to model success. In other words, when you see something that works, try it yourself. Find out how others "made it" and do what they did. |
