How To Monetize Your Ideas

Every once in a while make a little bet with yourself. Make a bet to aim for something that you wouldn’t normally think you could achieve.

It may only to be to stop eating chocolate for a week, or to go jogging for 20 minutes every other day.  Sometimes, when you really want to push yourself…challenge yourself to writing a chapter of your book every day, or set the alarm for 5 a.m. every day for a week and spend two hours working.

The key to this process is to force yourself to make the distinction between ‘I can’t…’ and ‘I won’t…’ .  When you achieve these little successes, they will spur you on to even greater challenges - so you benefit both from completing the task…and from getting more motivation for the bigger ones.

What ‘I won’ts’ will you try to break first?  Look…even if you only manage it for a week - think of what extra you would have achieved!  The novelty may wear off - but if you can’t stick with it - and least you will have moved forward.
