There's a huge difference.

Do you work hard and consistently just when you are motivated/you have to/have a deadline etc...

Or you are a driven person that, no matter what's happening outside/ you make enough money / you have no motivation etc. You still get your work and tour goals done every fu***n day?

Be honest. Are you driven and consistent from day 1 to 365 or you go in waves?

If you are type 1 (very rare) did you born like that or dida you become like that?

Nope, and if it is is generic motivation
 
I would say more motivated then driven. But I probably write my goals, do the stuff on my list 90% of the time. I find the biggest issue I have is when I go more than 1 days without writing my goals. if that happens that is when I start to fall away and become lazy. If I can keep up the routine of writing my goals and my tasks for the day each morning then I know that day will move me forward.

I'm lucky that now its actually painful to me (like I'm missing out on doing something I love) if I don't write my goals each morning. It took a long time to get this way though.

I need that constant reinforcement and reminder to keep moving forward, not every day has to be a successful day but every day should move you closer to your goals in some way.

I find Sunday night reviews of the previous week and preview of the upcoming week also helps me reset where I am and what I should be doing for the next week.

So I wouldn't say I am driven but i think I get more stuff done than others in the hours I am awake.

I'm incredibly driven and motivated once I come up with something new I can make $$$ on.

But then, once I get it to work, I generally am not as driven to actually scale my methods.

Which is quite sad, and I'm working on getting better at it.

My tip to you is to have a greater goal. Something like 1000$ over X amount of days.

I recently set myself a goal of earning $10k by the end of the year from CPA alone. Very achievable, and it spans over many months.
 
Very few men are driven, almost all are motivated at one point or another.

Yes, I did read that setting goals is very important, setting goals for each day. It's great you are doing that. To me works too but not too much, after a while you be like "who fuckin cares i'm makin money anyway'
i think i need happyness and a gf I love to have more economic and success hunger. Because the economic reason doesn't work too me whenever I reach "enough for me" I stop pushing. I need to get that further step to be the real mvp.
I had a non productive week, than I read what is driven and the difference between driven and motivated and I was like, fu** i am motivated loser. And went to work. I wanna become driven no matter what, income/depression etc etc

I agree they are extremely rare. Working machines. That's why I was hoping to find someone in here who is. Driven people are 99% time successfull imo
 
if i have 30 days to do something, i do it on the 29th day :facepalm: and i fucking hate myself for that. Excuse my french.
 
I think I go in waves, it is not continuous for me.
 
I would say I am very driven each day.
Like some others I have a day job, but have always said my real work starts when I get home, the internet marketing stuff.
Either way I find I have to juggle the two and then I guess the motivation kicks in.
 
I was struggling to keep up with my schedule. Quarantine changed it all.
 
To answer your question about driven vs motivation people.
Im driven to a goal and i was borned with it.
From time to time after a lot of pushbacks i need to motivate myself with new inspiration movies and music.
I wont tell wich sport, but i started a sport and until i became nr1 in my country, i did. stop not stop.
It tooked me 4 years of hard work, but i becomed what i wanted.

I tried to motivate more then 100 people(even tried to set goals for them but they said "yes" although they did not feel like that), but never found one that was competitive like me, and i guess that if you arent competitive you cant be driven, cause the fear and thw pain that you feel when you loose is like you lost your best friend.
So basicaly driven people set a goal and try to achive it and cant back down no mattet what.
 
You mean "Driven" for the "Purpose" of being driven, like some part of them want to show the world that they are at their best, ALWAYS, and they cant accept that life DO COME IN WAVES.

They try to output the same productivity when they are down, or sick. i don't think its either healthy, or smart to do so.

It all depends how you measure success, and if you do so by a goal basis, you can achieve any goal with motivation.

Also, success, is not only regarding making money, its also about your relationships, and how skilled you're perceived as a person.

i am not sure being Driven makes you a better person, or better at what you do. it all depends on what you are trying to achieve eventually.

Driven people are often successfull.
But I get what you are saying, they are often driven but some sort of obsession that can be unhealthy, like being the best etc.
Probably life do come in waves but you have to work even when you feel down, it's not that you can push it only when you feel like..
