    The more you earn, the more motivated you get. Am I right?
    A question for those with concrete experience.

    I don't agree with this. i think the free market capitalist system means that competition and self motivation are two of the key foundations of business. You can be at the bottom just starting out and your own motivation and drive can be the difference between success and failure.

    Everyone has to start out at the bottom so are you saying that these people have no motivation

    That's definitely the case for me, the earnings only whet my appetite. For me it's not even the money, it's achieving what I've set out to do, you know? It's providing people with what they wanted and being compensated financially for that, in return. THAT is what gets me up in the morning :)

    But i never over confident coz this will bring my motivation down.

    I would agree with this. When you see that something you've put a lot into starts to work, even if it's like $1... well it really gets me wanting to figure it out more.

    It depends on what you value in life. To some I would certainly say that is true.

    Depends on how you earn your money. Say you won a lottery to get huge sum, you may be motivated to buy more tickets. But if you got money say, by means which you regret doing, you are not going to do it again. So it all depends on how money comes into your hands and what kind of person you are. The general trend is that the more you earn, the more you are motivated

    Nope, when you haven't earned a penny yet you are not absolutely certain about the possibility to _really_ earn online. As money comes, also does motivation.

    I'm earning just like 1 US a day from zero effort. Just 1, but, I am happy with it. Why? because it keeps me motivated. Why? Because I know I have the potential to do what I have done already but occasion 50 and then I would have 50 US a day.

    "more you earn, the more you are motivated" ... yea true but more money more problems also. Just because you have money does that mean everything will be peachy? Only one self would know.... everyone one of us would probably be different.

    "Success" is not necessarily measured financially. I run a nonprofit, noncommercial religious website (signature link #1). It has zero revenue; I fund it myself. And it has 75 to 80 thousand unique visitors a month.

    That keeps me motivated to continue working and funding this site, for the benefit of the niche market that appreciates the free info they are specifically looking for. Call it a public service, my way of "giving back".

    I can't imagine living a life in poverty/not having enough to buy what I need. It's VERY sad, but if I know now I would always be very dependent on my economy, I wouldn't have the will to keep living.

    There should be more people like you. :)

    I thin motivation, is what you get from completing your daily goals, no matter what! Motivation, come from completion or seeing your goals already acquired within your mind!

    Sorry, but I think you've got enough much money for a living and don't worry about it more.
