Reconcile your bank account and realize you are spending more money than you are bringing in.

Looking at the bank account and the bills is a big motivator. I have learned when I am not busy if I just start making calls good things will happen. That is a motivator to me to start making calls.

This is my favorite question of the year. How do I motivate myself.
Here are some ways to motivate yourself:
- Make a list of all the things you would like to accomplish in a week.
Cross things off as you go, and try to tackle the hardest thing on your list as quickly as possible, it makes everything else seem easy!
- Focus on systems instead of goals. Goals are great to set but disappointing when you dont meet them. Systems get you to the goals. Make your goals short term and simple and create a system to achieve them!
- When you achieve your goals reward yourself with something small and simple. Everyone likes to say I'll get a new tv or furniture or something expensive. Think about something small that you enjoy that means something. Or have a nice dinner or trip away on the weekend.
Hope these tips help!

Take breaks. Good diet. Exercise. Yoga. Look at what the top producers sold last month.

I agree with many, bills tend to motivate me. LOL. I'm also very competitive so watching other's success always insprires me.

I am a competitive person so the MLS is my motivation. I see a new listing and think, "What did that agent offer or present to the sellers that I did not?"

I start out my day logging onto AR (Not patronizing AR. Just what I do) and read positive posts from my blogging buddies. Then I go for a surf or a long walk on the beach with my lovely wife. It just doesn't get much better than that. There's something about a good surf that kicks in endorphin that seems to stay with you all day. Great Question!
SURF'S UP!

I hate to say it, but the lack of time is the best motivator. When the pressure is on.

To get motivated for listing appointments, I listen to upbeat 80's music and remind myself that I am the best agent for the job.

I agree Amanda and Jared. If you don't step away and rejuvenate with a good workout (anything, including walking the dog), you'll go crazy and feel lackluster.

With me it seems the happier I am the harder I work.
I think the exercise thing that many are referring to is good. I am bad about that though

Evelyn,
I like Debbie Reynolds answer. We also meditate, which also clears the mind and helps us maintain our equilibrium.

Positive reading gets me psyched. Also getting a good nights sleep and exercise clears the mental cobwebs and makes me feel rejunenated and ready to go.
