Ask the Coach: When Things Take So Long, How Can I Stay Motivated & Focused Enough To Create A Location Independent Income Stream?

Anonymous says:
I want to create a location independent business. I’m very interested in old cars and I had the idea to tear down my classic VW beetle, clean it and restore it and then write an ebook or infoproduct about it, which I could sell.
But I’ve lost motivation because that’ll probably take me at least 18 months to do. It’s not something I can do in a reasonable time. I’d love to do something that’s related to my interests (cars, building things), but I can’t think of an idea that’ll get me a location independent income now. Any ideas how to get unstuck?

Weekend Update: Twitter Q&A Day Coming Up This Week!
This weekend’s update on the Location Independent project kicks off with a very cool idea (kudos to Sharon Hurley Hall) for using Twitter to help spread the word about the concept of being location independent and invite people to find out more about it.
If you’re already on Twitter, you probably already know that we have our own hashtag (#LIP) – what this means is that if you search for the term #LIP on Twitter, you’ll see any & all tweets relating to the location independent lifestyle (usually) from across the Twittersphere.
The usefulness of this obviously relies on the sensible & relevant use of the #LIP hashtag but by & large it’s great to see it being used to highlight useful resources for the whole community on Twitter.
The Twitter Q&A Day however is much cooler…
