1. Have a vision. Great leaders have a clear vision and purpose that drives their work. Clarifying how your efforts move things towards an inspiring vision.

2. Focus on strengths. Leverage your natural talents and abilities as much as possible. This not only boosts results but also morale and energy levels.

3. Celebrate small wins. Recognize progress made; don't get mired in thinking only the end goal matters. Small milestones keep momentum and spirits up.

4. Learn from (not dwell on) failures. Nobody succeeds at everything. See setbacks as data showing where adjustments are needed and use them to improve strategically.

5. Take care of yourself. Eat properly to maintain consistent energy, get enough rest, and make time for relationships and activities unrelated to work. Self-care prevents burnout.

6. Keep growing. Continuous learning keeps leaders engaged. Take on new challenges. Read books outside your field. Maintaining an open, curious mindset creates purpose.

7. Surround yourself with the right team. Collaborating with those whose strengths complement your own abilities and who share your vision creates synergy.

With purpose, self-awareness, strategic improvements, balance, and supportive relationships driving you, your motivation will be sustained.
