How do you guys stay motivated when things get slow? - InstaGrowthPro - 20-Aug-2025
Some weeks are great, I feel like I'm on top of the world. Other weeks, nothing seems to work, engagement is low, sales are down, and it's hard to even get out of bed and open the laptop.
How do you all deal with the slow periods and stay motivated to keep grinding?

I just remind myself why I started. I have a picture of my goal (a specific car lol) as my desktop wallpaper. Seeing it every day helps me remember what I'm working towards. It's cheesy but it works for me.

Motivation is fleeting, discipline is what gets you through. I don't rely on feeling motivated. I have a system.
Every Sunday I plan my tasks for the week. Every morning I know exactly what I need to do. I just execute the plan, whether I "feel like it" or not. The results come from consistent action, not from passion.
