One of the challenges that you may run into when you are working from home is to stay motivated. You lock yourself up alone everyday and try to build your business and you will have days that you get frustrated.

There are a lot of tips and advice on remembering your reason why, but there are still times you just can't seem to get the drive you need.

I have had days that I didn't want to work, then I found a great tool to help me. I was working on one of my affiliate websites back offices (SFI) and I found their little income calculator. Just for kicks I punched in some numbers to see what would happen. This little tool motivated me, all of a sudden there was a possible paycheck and what would happen if I continued to work at it.

I went a little crazy with some of my numbers, but at the same time I didn't. There are people with SFI that are sponsoring a lot of people daily. So why can't I?

These are some of the numbers I played with:

30 people that I sponsor

2 people sponsored by downline

Possible Income

$819.00 per month after 6 months ($9,828.00/yr)
$4,480.20 per month after 12 months ($53,762.40/yr)
$9,048.60 per month after 18 months ($108,583.20/yr)
$15,172.20 per month after 24 months ($182,066.40/yr)

Now I know that in reality these numbers mean nothing, there are too many variables, but they do show the potential earning power based on the companies payment policy. There is motivation in the knowledge that all you need is to sign up one person a day, and help your downline sign up one person every 15 days. That is achievable, you just need one a day, then repeat the process.

It is tangible and motivating for the days that you feel frustrated. Frustration will occur, but if you find a method to motivate yourself, you will get through it and keep building your home based business.
