Click play on the video above. Staying motivated and changing ineffective habits are both essential skills for anyone working to become self-employed.
When you don’t have a boss or team to keep you on track, being able to change your behavior yourself can literally equal the difference between success and failure.
Leo Babauta of the massively popular Zen Habits blog knows a thing or two about motivation and habits, especially as they apply to entrepreneurs. Leo just finished a new book about habits and launched it via Kickstarter. He has also interviewed dozens of entrepreneurs and successful people about habits and created a special series just on Habits of Entrepreneurs.
I sat down with Leo to ask him what he’s learned about habits and motivation for entrepreneurs. He shared tons of simple strategies and stories about how to change yourself in this information-packed interview. Click play on the video above to watch the full interview.
If you’d like to support Leo’s book launch, he has several options on Kickstarter, including digital and physical copies of the book, plus lots of other goodies. Check out the Zen Habits book and Kickstarter campaign here »

The Top 10 Mistakes in Online Business
Every week we talk with entrepreneurs. We talk about what’s working and what isn’t. We talk about successes and failures. We spend time with complete newbies, seasoned veterans, and everything in between.
One topic that comes up over and over again with both groups is mistakes made in starting businesses. Newbies love to learn about mistakes so they can avoid them. Veterans love to talk about what they wish they had known when starting out.
These conversations have been fascinating, so we compiled a list of the 10 mistakes we hear most often into a nifty lil' guide. Get the 10 Most Common Mistakes in Starting an Online Business here »
I agree, we get overwhelmed when we think too far ahead. Sometimes its better to just start doing what we don’t want to do, without thinking about it before hand.
Great video from Leo. I love the tip of doing habit sprints to see which habits are good to add to your routine and to learn how you can tweak your habits to be more effective as an entrepreneur moving forward. I also love the advice of weekly check-ins to review the success/outcome of your habits (and adjusting accordingly)
Glad to hear it, thanks Wilhelmien!
