Hi all,

Have recently started up an online business which has seen me quit my day job. Well it's been 3 months into the planning and the plan is 90% there but unfortunately the website still hasn't started being built. It will be getting built though as of next week though.

My area of concern is, is that it's going to be another 2 - 3 months until it's done, which leaves me with not so much to do. I know there's a lot I could be doing like researchig etc, which is what I have been doing but my energy level doesn't feel the same unfortunately as it did in the first few weeks. Has anyone else copped this? As this week was the first week that I questioned is what I am doing right.

If anyone could be kind enough to tell me how to revive the energy, it would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

As with any big endeavor, it is easy to see the gusto that you had at the beginning start to die out as time moves on and difficulties arise.

Motivation is usually found when progress is made.

Is there any part of your business that can benefit without your website being built? You could always get a sort of temporary site in place where you can do your business in the meantime, if you care too.

You could always research more, work on your business plan more, make more contacts, etc.

You can also make a list of goals that you can meet each week so you feel more accomplished.

Just some ideas, good luck!
