Motivation

But if you put all your eggs in one basket… what if one failure breaks everything?

I've always found that advice puzzling — just do one thing. Sure, I see how it works for others. But the truth is: I still haven’t found that one signature art style I could draw for years without burning out. Because of that, I struggled to find art clients.

But I didn’t give up. I kept going.

I see how huge the entertainment industry has become — so much content on YouTube, TikTok, Reels, and Facebook. In a way, content turned into digital therapy: people scroll and feel relaxed. They’re tired of stress, of thinking too much, of chasing dreams like “be a millionaire by 30.”

But there are others. People who want to build companies, not just for money — but to create something meaningful that people love. A product that helps a real community. Something with real users: app users, comic readers, game players, customers.

When I was looking for a job locally, many were shocked I had my own project and ran it as a director. They assumed I wouldn’t work hard for them since I’m “building my own thing.”
But they missed the point — I love helping other businesses grow! We were not even in the same niche. We weren’t competitors.

So here’s the reality: you create content, publish a product, and after all your hard work... you get 100 views and 3 likes a month — for 6 months straight. You start burning out. You think, “This doesn’t work.”

These emotional ups and downs are real. So what’s the solution?
Let’s talk about the true engine of business growth: motivation and discipline.

“Many early-stage entrepreneurs struggle to understand what matters more — motivation or discipline. The truth is: they’re deeply connected. Together, they fuel consistent growth in any business. In this article, we’ll explore why both are critical, how to combine them, and how they keep your business moving forward — even when you don’t see results right away.”

Step 1: Define a Goal You Deeply Care About

You must have a clear and personal goal — something you truly desire. Something you can buy. (Of course, respecting others' rights in the process!)

Maybe it’s a luxury item, stylish clothing, a powerful laptop, a trip to an island, mountains, or a dream home.

Make it visual. Print a photo or save it on your phone. Look at it daily.

It’s important that your goal feels real and achievable, not pure fantasy like become the richest person alive, fly to a neighboring planet, or grow wings through DNA editing.

Start simple. A car, a gold necklace, a trip abroad, a high-end bag. Know the price. Save those images and create a visual motivation folder.

Step 2: Face the Routine — With Data and Feedback

Routine can feel like digging endlessly for treasure with no sign of gold.
Time passes. No visible growth. You start to doubt everything.

But track your progress. I use a personal analytics table and review how people respond to my posts and ideas.

For example, when I noticed people loved my witch jokes — I included them in my manga marketing campaign. Even small feedback matters.

Also, compare your skills from a year ago with what you can do now.
The difference will shock you.

Step 3: Discipline Builds Your Inner Strength

Loving your work is important, but discipline is what strengthens your mindset.
It means repeating small, sometimes boring actions — every day — even without visible results. Because eventually, your idea will start to work.

You also need to listen. What are people saying about your projects, stories, products? Do they come back to check your updates?

At first, your audience feels like pixels on a screen. But one day, you realize — these are real people, with lives and emotions. It can be scary. But it's also powerful.

Step 4: Take Action Based on a Clear Plan

Look at your goal image. Know its price. Take your plan and perform small, tactical actions every day. If you see no response, try another angle. Or keep showing up and explaining why your idea matters — how it helps them, what value it brings.

Building muscle doesn’t show after one workout. It takes 1–6 months of consistency before anyone notices.
Yes, it sounds like a cliché — but it’s true. There’s no shortcut.

A Warning About Fast Success

I often see people who get rich quickly and then crash just as fast. They buy an expensive house or luxury car — but when their systems collapse, they try to sell it all at inflated prices just to survive.

My Personal Goal

I live in a war zone. So my dream is to buy a home in a safe area, a car for comfort, and adopt a dog. I want land of my own, where strangers can’t walk in. I want to build an amusement park in the city I love and own a huge building for my company.

But unless I learn to listen, communicate, and connect with people — these dreams will remain just pretty pictures on my phone.

I enjoy talking to tools like ChatGPT — they give interesting answers. And maybe someday, people will have AI friends instead of toxic relationships. But still…

Robots don’t build companies. People do. For people.

Final Thought: A Formula to Remember

• Motivation is your goal.
  
  

• Your plan is the path.
  
  

• Discipline is the tool that gets you there.
  
  

Stay focused. Take action. Talk to your audience. And believe: progress is happening, even when it’s invisible.
