What motivates you to work on your startup?

Yes, most of the time, it's a typical day or a bad day. Great days are unusual, but you must embrace them when they come. Something I noticed as an entrepreneur, we're more often in conflict with ourselves. We must celebrate the great days. It's so important.

Another thing I do when I need motivation, I focus on something completely different: sports or family.

Haha, never ever give up on your dreams!

You started this because you believe it can succeed, even if it fails you gave it your best. This is all part of learning! :D and be proud of yourself and your product!

When it gets tough I just take a few minutes for myself and listen to Beast - Southpaw and the game is on again! :D

Reading r/antiwork every day and realizing what a fucking dystopia the corporate workplace is

I'd rather die than to have to return to that hellhole.

I think the easiest thing is to remember that if it's not this then it's the soulless grind of a corporate job or a "stable" 9-5.

Freedom!

I always say to myself that done is better than perfect and that I'll suffer anyway. However, I can choose what to suffer from -- from discipline and growth or from the pain of regret.

Help one person. Don't care if that isn't the right strategy for building the next unicorn. Make one person's life a little better.

My aim is to produce software that people can benefit from and use continuously. Thanks to this software, I can sustain my life.

I think if you are long enough in that bubble you can never have a normal job again 😅
But seriously if you are convinced of the products that you build and you love doing that there is no better way of life.
If I think about what I would do if I don't need to work anymore it's still the same life I would choose over and over again 😉

"If you need inspiring words, don't do it."

Personal reasons:
I struggle like many to stay healthy and fit, I consider myself a foodie so I always want to try the next amazing dish and I am vegan. I find lot of people at this intersection that struggle with having a nutrition that make them feel great. I know how hard it is to make meal plans, to make shopping list, to be always on the look for inspiration etc.

Passionate about a problem I share:
I am super passionate about these problems, I work every day to solve them, I always in for a chat about these, and I love to help people and make a difference in their life.

Vision of the future & know how:
I know that every time someone chooses to eat vegan they save animals, they make a more sustainable choice for the environment and I believe eating vegan can be super exciting, effective and easy. I know this can be the most rewarding choice one can make in a lifetime because I have spent years learning about nutrition, cooking, going to restaurants, working in them, designing products and services, creating new recipes, experiementing with all of these together.

Part of a community & activism:
I am super excited to see the massive growth of the vegan movement every year! And I want to support every single one of them to make the most out of it. I don't wish for people to go through all the boring and unnecessary parts of learning a new way.

Values:
I know we all need to give back to make the world a better place, and I chose this to be my life mission, to make eating and cooking vegan as exciting, effective and easy as it can possibly be.

I hope this can help you, many times you just need to look inward and take some time off to clear your mind and know what is that you truly want to see out there. Money and fame are mere illusions and are not enough to carry on your journey as a founder.

As a finance executive, here's my lens. It's one of the very few ways to build (generational) wealth and impact the world in the way you want to. That said, it takes relentless grit.

For me. There are several reasons but the one being my company laying off people despite showing loyalty. I was like “fu** it, I can make it myself and no harm if I failed.”

I've found that asking myself what the reasons are for wanting to build a business, and returning to those core reasons from time to time helps refuel my passion and drive and push me to further. For me they are financial independence and freedom to pursue the things that I love and am passionate about without the limitations that come with being attached to a location or schedule that comes with being employed by an org.

Want to be my own boss and also I'm having a kid 🙂

For me, seeing something I created from the ground 0 getting form and getting bug with customers and stablishing our initial view is invaluable

For me, seeing other indiehackers succeed is a huge motivation for me to continue on my stuff even when stuff is not working out

I’m new to the Indie Hacker game; I’ve wanted to build something for years but had to wait til something really struck my passion.

as cheesy as it sounds… — helping others through technology really keeps me focused on the end goal.

Definitely the ability to get up and do what matters.

I mean I get to roast startups and get paid, it's pretty motivating.

I founded my startup with the goal of creating a solution for a problem I had personally experienced. My passion for problem-solving and desire to make a positive impact on people's lives was my biggest motivator. Although I have yet to turn a profit, I am proud to have been a part of it from the very beginning.

Hi @SnehaSaigal,

I don't think you need a dose of motivation to keep working on your startup, I think you need to have a list of reasons why you're doing what you're doing and remind yourself of it every time you doubt yourself.

I just love building products from scratch.

The knowing that whether i want or not i have to make it, there is no other way out.

My biggest motivation is the feeling you are building something which brings some value to someone else. Seeing your customers happy can compensate for all the stress startup can bring.
Also freedom, lack of corporate things, better work-life balance...

• Customer happiness
• Good revenue
• Good team
• Fun & Work

A lot of people in this community are motivated by getting rid of that 9-5 job. I get that, but we should also do our best to imagine what running our own business will be like.

It's hard. Really hard. Much harder than the 9-5. But, the difference is that you are creating value for you, instead of faceless shareholders.

If we're just motivated by leaving our 9-5 or by being our own boss, we're probably going to lose that motivation quickly. I think it's more important that we pick a space we're passionate about; where we truly care about our customers. Then we create a business which can grow, and one which we won't hate in a few months.

The thought of having a 9-5 for the rest of my life

We set up an internal Discord channel called #customers, and all new accounts appear in real time. Amazing feeling when it keeps beeping.
We ask people some onboarding questions, and those answers go there.
We ask for NPS with a form for warm words, and they come.
The whole team is motivated and cares about those new regs. Some try to reach them; others keep working on a better website, onboarding, product experience, and sales offers.
Looking forward to opening the #subscriptions channel very soon :-) It feels amazing when it lives while you sleep.

1. Solving challenging problems while developing the product.
2. Receiving positive feedback and praise from satisfied customers, which provides motivation and drives you to exceed expectations.
3. Lastly, experiencing growth in Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR).

While I was employed, I motivated everyone around me to move, to do ambitious things. I dragged everyone to cool projects.

But at one point I realized that the same thing had to be done in entrepreneurship, where this behavior was more appropriate, where you could make more money and have more freedom of choice.

I like to create libraries which other people can use. It gives a me a good feeling other people reuses the code I have written.

When you get unmotivated, always thinking about your ultimate your. It's like a helping hand to me and works every time. Also think about the ways how doing that job is cool and enjoyable. Never forget that you're improving yourself so you're different than many people. Wish you the best of luck with your prospective startup.

Customers that rely on my product for their business. It's that simple.

• If I don't improve the product or fix bugs, I let them down.
• If I don't do marketing or sales, I can can't keep running the product, I will let them down

If you are not at this stage yet, be well sure you have customers before you get started.

Opportunity to change smth i guess

What keeps me going is being able to have a plan B if things don't work out with my 9-5. With all the layoffs happening right now it's comforting to have additional income streams.

I think it's something similar to yours, knowing it's something I get a choice in. Knowing that many before me have faced similar struggles, knowing that there is no failure here, either learning (failure as some see it) or "traditional" success.

Dedication and Consistency by doing hard work that my start up will grow.

My main motivation is the belief that I'm building great things that a set of people/businesses need. I do feel unmotivated or low at times when metrics plateau for a few days or weeks, or a bunch of support tickets come in that I don't want to deal with, or a sale falls through, but so far I've just had to remind myself that it's a phase and that the general trend has been up, maybe take 2-3 days break. Once I've taken a break I feel refreshed, and so far the metrics always start to tick upward again...hopefully that lasts!
