Breaking through the Wall
Some great motivational advice from Bill Walsh in Stop Hitting your Invisible Wall:
Try this thought experiment the next time you’re about to sit down to write code, a blog post for your business, or do whatever you do that builds your startup. Forget about the money. Forget about the bills. Forget about whether you deserve or are capable or are too slow or whatever carrots and sticks you’ve been using on yourself.
Instead, think about the challenge of making the code work, writing the post a post that connects. Think about how every line you write brings you closer to deciding your own fate and not taking “suggestions” from managers. Think about the difference you’re going to make in the lives of the people who use your software.
That’s the motivation you need – it’s like rocket fuel.
I could sure use some of that right about now.
