Hope and dreams! that is the only thing that you can sell practically as a founder
I tell the truth to the team and explain why it is necessary to achieve current goals and what it will give us in the future.
Be honest. Everything stems from folks believing in you.
Motivating a team during challenging times can be difficult, but it is essential to keep morale high and productivity up. Here are some tips:
1- Communicate openly and honestly. Keep your team informed about the challenges you are facing and how they are being addressed. This will help them to feel like they are part of the solution and that their work is important.
2- Set clear goals and expectations. Give your team a clear understanding of what needs to be accomplished and when. This will help them to stay focused and motivated.
3- Provide regular feedback and recognition. Let your team know when they are doing a good job. This will help them to feel appreciated and valued.
4- Encourage teamwork and collaboration. Create an environment where team members feel comfortable working together and helping each other out. This will help to build camaraderie and motivation.
5-Take care of your team's well-being. Make sure your team is taking breaks, getting enough sleep, and eating healthy foods. This will help them to stay physically and mentally healthy, which will lead to increased motivation.
It is also important to remember that everyone is different and will be motivated by different things. Some people may be motivated by money, while others may be motivated by recognition or the chance to learn new things. It is important to find what motivates each individual team member and tailor your motivation strategies accordingly.
By following these tips, you can help to motivate your team and keep them engaged during challenging times.
Here are some additional tips that you may find helpful:
1- Celebrate successes, no matter how small. This will help to keep the momentum going and remind the team that they are making progress.
2- Be positive and optimistic. This will help to create a positive work environment and make the challenges seem more manageable.
3- Don't be afraid to ask for help. If you are struggling to motivate your team, there are resources available to help you. You can talk to a mentor, coach, or HR professional.
Motivating a team during challenging times is not easy, but it is essential. By following these tips, you can help to keep your team motivated and engaged, even when things are tough.

navigating choppy seas ain't easy. it's tough. yet, therein lies the beauty.
transparency first. mask off. let the team in on the struggle. everyone gets a glimpse of the mountain we're climbing. trust builds.
be there. empathize. everyone handles storms differently. they aren't just your team, they're people. people with emotions, fears, hopes. acknowledge that.
celebrate effort. it's easy to overlook in tough times. but it matters, deeply. every stroke counts when you're against the tide.
two heads are better than one, a team, even better. get them in on the solution. a collective mind hums with power.
remind them of the beacon. the vision. the 'why'. it lights up the path.
remember, storms make good sailors. we'll sail through.
By reminding them how far we've come and letting them know this shall too pass as did the other challenges we overcame!
During tough times, clear communication is key. Don't sugarcoat, be honest about the situation. Encourage an open dialogue. Celebrate small wins to boost morale.
When people know what they're working towards and what's expected of them, they're more likely to stay motivated.
Clear communication, empathy, attainable goals, support, and encouragement while establishing a supportive and cooperative work environment are all effective ways to inspire a team during trying times.

There are plenty of various ways, but I believe the only right way to motivate your teammates is merely to be with them through tough times. If you lead the pack, you're not a person who just gives instructions and disappears – you have to be in the process and show this period is a temporary obstacle. And stay positive, of course:)
