Working independently or as a small business owner, it can be difficult to maintain your motivation- especially in times of struggles. Considering how much we rely on that internal charge, it's important to stay motivated.

There's a lot to learn from those that are further down the path of business success. Whether it's just hearing that they've experience the same struggles or picking up an invaluable nugget, it's important to learn as much as you can from those that have done it before.

It's easy to get caught up in the daily routine of running your business. How often do you take a moment to remind yourself why you're in business in the first place. Whether it's passing a legacy or controlling your own destiny, reminding yourself why can really help with motivation.
