For me, achieving job satisfaction and acquiring new knowledge are my greatest sources of motivation.
Getting economic and time freedom doing what I like.
@joanduarte That makes sense. Economic and time freedom are certainly important goals that can motivate us to work harder. For me, I find that a combination of both financial motivation and a sense of accomplishment helps drive me to work harder.

@manas_sharma So how does this affect your productivity and living conditions?
@oymen_baydin To be honest. I do get really tired and stressed sometimes, but I know it's also a phase. When you start something new, you have many hurdles - but things do settle down eventually.

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.
