Materializing ideas keeps me going.
If you're like me, you have no motivation to get writing. You just sit at a blank page, knowing that you have to crank out a blog post, or a proposal, or a newsletter. Then, all of a sudden, you're struck with a good idea, and you start writing. You're excited and you write with passion.
The possibility of financial freedom 🙏
The first thing that motivates me to work harder is setting goals. To achieve any goal, you need to work hard, but working hard without goal is like sailing a boat without a compass, you will never reach the destination.
Family, children, parents - I need to prove them wrong that I am only limited to what they know
