Daniel S · Answer

Sounds cliche but take a look at your previous milestones. Seeing how far you've come and what you've achieved gives off great motivation :)

Ash Prabaker · Answer

@dan16 Thanks for the advice, might be a silly question but do you record your milestones somewhere to look back on? I might start, I guess it would make them feel more tangible.

Prem Saini · Answer

During a pivot, share the rationale for the pivot and the strategy for moving forward with your team and key stakeholders and boom you just realise how motivated you need to be

Find a community of support. Surround yourself with other entrepreneurs and product managers who are going through similar challenges. Having a support system can make a big difference in your motivation and well-being.

Take breaks. It's important to take breaks, even when you're in the middle of a pivot. Get up and move around, or take a few minutes to clear your head. This will help you come back to your work refreshed and motivated.

Daniel S · Answer

@ashprabaker I don't record them per se, just know them. If its something you think you'll forget or need remembering then its just a finished task--not a milestone. But now that you mention it, a selfie with my beta launch on my monitor sounds fun!

Answer

No matter how small, take the time to acknowledge your accomplishments. This will help you stay positive and motivated as you continue to work towards your goals.

Ash Prabaker · Answer

@prem_saini1 that makes a lot of sense, having to rationalise it to others would force me to think it through in a more logical way which i've found to be a helpful mindset in the past.

Thanks for the suggestion! It sounds like you have had to do this before - care to share the story?
