Set goals

When you are learning the piano, especially if you are learning alone with a home study course then you have to set yourself some fairly rigid goals as a way to really advance. You will be better off making both long and short term goals. The short term goals might be the mastering of a certain piece or the perfection of a certain chord progression. Repeat the piece multiple times every day until the time comes that you are satisfied with it. A longer term goal would be for instance, to attain a certain level of playing, to pass an exam or to get to a level where you are able to accompany a singer or other instrumentalist. It is usually enough motivation to have your goals and the setting of deadlines and time limits is not normally necessary.

If you don't concentrate too much on your mistakes and errors then it will get a lot easier to move forward, the mistakes you make will either go away on their own or in the case of repetitive ones they will force you to practice them until they no longer exist.
