💭 The Big Idea

Motivation is often perfect for initiating a project. However, it’s terrible at sustaining our drive for work. Therefore, it would be better if we didn’t rely on it at all. Most of us ‘wait’ for motivation to kick in before we get started on a project etc. This stimulus wears off after a while and can lead to either us not completing the task on hand or not doing it to the best of our ability.

The simple idea that worked for me:

With this mindset, I built discipline, consistency and habits. I feel like ‘just doing it’ when I come to my newsletter and other work. It’s been liberating and has allowed me to build discipline in other areas of life. I don’t need to ‘wait’ for motivation to get me going any longer.

📝 Your Action Item: 

• Find 1 person you can be accountable to for your actions (it can be family, friends, a coach, or anyone at all)

I recommend someone working towards a goal, too, so you can push each other. Having an accountability partner will mean you are constantly progressing forwards. It’s proved super effective in making me disciplined and ensuring I spend 30 minutes a day working towards my aims. An alternative to a partner is to download the simple habit tracker Notion offers.

Let me know how it goes for you! I will be super excited to hear back!
P.S. Feel free to email me by replying and make me your accountability partner! It would be an honour 🙂 

🚙 My Solopreneur Journey: 

I can’t believe it’s already been three weeks since my first edition 😱 As the weeks have passed, I have started to enjoy writing even more. It’s been a welcome change from the daily life of being in medical school - exactly what I had hoped! I have also had the opportunity to meet others on the same path and exchange our learnings. I am excited for the coming days as we hit the 1-month mark 🚀
