Q: I just started my business, but I'm not seeing any success, and it's hard to stay motivated, and I feel like giving up a lot. Any advice?

A: There are some great psychologists named Richard Ryan and Edward Deci who came up with some research related to this. Based on their research-backed insight, here's what I would recommend:

1. Ensure that your business endeavors align with your personal interests and values. When you feel a sense of ownership and choice in your activities, your intrinsic motivation is likely to be higher. Reflect on what aspects of your business truly resonate with you and try to focus more on these areas.
2. Develop a sense of mastery and effectiveness in your business skills. This involves setting achievable goals, learning from failures, and viewing challenges as opportunities for growth. Break your larger goals into smaller, manageable tasks and celebrate the small victories along the way.
3. Connect with others who share your entrepreneurial spirit. This could involve networking with other business owners, seeking mentorship, or joining support groups. Feeling understood and connected to others can provide the emotional support necessary to persist during tough times.

Remember, it's normal for motivation to fluctuate, especially in the early stages of a new venture. Be patient with yourself and remember that success often comes after persistent effort and learning from experiences. Keep reconnecting with your intrinsic reasons for starting the business and adjust your strategies as you gain more insight and experience.
