给在家工作的自己寻找动力
Tips for making it through the tough times
渡过困难时期的小贴士
You're lucky. You work from home. You're your own boss and you answer to no one but yourself. You may have worked years or even decades at a regular job, but now you get to make your own rules and set your own hours. There's no need to fight the alarm clock every morning, nor is there any reason to go to bed early at night. Since you're your own boss, you don't have to worry about getting written up, laid off, or fired.
你很幸运能够在家里工作。你是自己的老板，只用向自己汇报。也许你已经从事一项正规的工作几年或者几十年了，但是现在你要给自己制定规则，安排自己的工作时间。你不用每天早晨和闹钟铃声作战了，也没有晚上早早就寝的理由了。因为你是自己的老板，所以不用担心书面警告，裁员，被开除等等。
Since you're reaping all the benefits of working from home, you're also stuck with the responsibilities. You're in charge of every aspect of your home business, which means you have to handle the bad along with the good.
既然在家里工作有这么多有利的地方，那肯定也有相对应的责任。你要负责家族事业全方面的工作，这就是说好的坏的都是你一个人承担。
One of the biggest challenges you'll ever face is motivation. Many individuals working from home are content with just earning enough money to get by, and don't strive to take their small business to the next level. If you find yourself slacking from time to time, then you need a good motivation boost.
你遇到的最大的挑战就是动机。很多人满足于在家工作能够挣到的仅够糊口的钱，而不努力让自己的事业更上一层楼。如果你发现自己一直很松懈的话，就需要有一个好的动力来爆发一下了。
Here are some tips to help you stay motivated
以下几个小贴士会让你动力满满
Take some time to think about why you started working from home to begin with.
花点时间思考一下为什么自己开始在家工作。
Was it because you wanted freedom? Was it for the money? Were you having trouble finding a job anywhere else? In other words, what motivated you to start your own small business in the first place? Try invoking the same feelings again, and you will find yourself motivated once more.
是因为你想得到自由吗？还是为了钱？还是因为你在别的地方找不到工作？换句话问也就是，在你最初开始创业的时候你的动机是什么呢？试着再一次想起当初的感受，你会发现你又有了最初的激情了。
Set goals for yourself.They don't necessarily have to be large goals—in fact, you will be better off setting small and easy goals. Try to get through one step at time. Plan to work an hour more every day. Try earning an extra $100 a week. What about $200? Just imagine what all you can do with that extra $100 or $200 each week!
为自己设立目标。不用是很伟大的目标，实际上，小而简单的目标会让你更成功。 尝试着一步步的行动。每天计划多工作一个小时。每周多赚100美元。或者是200美元怎么样？想一想你每周会多出100到200美元的闲钱吧。
