If you still don’t feel motivated, proceed anyway and be willing to get things done. You didn’t expect me to say that, did you? It might not sound very appealing, but experience has taught me that this behaviour – this grit – is a key difference between ordinary and extraordinary. It’s about commitment. When you don’t want to roll out of bed in the early hours, or when you really can’t be bothered to go to that meeting on the other side of town – you do it anyway! You recognize that the effort you put in will be worth the rewards that come later.
