Are you motivated to Work?
Even though I have good and bad days, there are not many when I have a hard time getting motivated. From the moment I wake up in the morning I am excited to get to work. This is one of the main reasons that I got involved with freelance writing. I knew from the start that it would excite me, day in and day out, and this is still the case many years later.
If you are not motivated to work it is time to make a career change. Not only does a lack of motivation make you feel bad on a personal level, but it also puts you in a tough spot when it comes to actually getting your work done. When I worked as a sales manager there would be days when I was gung-ho about making money and landing as many new accounts as possible. But there were also an equal amount of days when I felt like staying in bed, or worse yet, going to sleep when I finally arrived at the office. This is how unmotivated and bored I was with my job!
As a freelance writer there are many things that motivate me. Not only do I want to do good work for all my clients, but knowing that I can earn a good living is also something that keeps me going. This does not mean that everyday is a good day. Just like everybody else there are times when I get frustrated and feel that time off would be nice. But unlike past jobs, these bad times are few and far between.
If you are working as a freelance writer and are always motivated to do your best you are in position to succeed. But on the other hand, if you are unmotivated, no matter your job description, now may be the best time to make a change.Â
