How can entrepreneurs stay motivated when facing tight deadlines?
For me, goals have little to do with realism. Rather, your goals, or lets call them desires, must come from within; what you really want and not what you think you want, think you should want or believe what others want you to want. It is too easy to get swept up in the ambitions of cofounders, investors, strategic partners, or some combination of all of the above. We're not talking about following your passion, though that is part of it. Rather, your goal should be no less than a fierce, burning ambition to create a new reality and join with people who have that same burning desire. The details of who, how, when and where, along with the self-discipline to stick with it, flow a lot easier once you've brought what is within to the surface.
