I had 18 credit hours this semester, so balancing my business and school work/exams/social life/etc. was quite a challenge. But it's the summer now so I'm going with my online business full throttle now
I am a great motivator...well so I am told, stop pouting everyone! pick up your feet and get yer money back from corporate america! ten hut!
What motivates me is when you develop some project and then you get some prospects that use your service/software, and then, they convert into customers. Money is good motivator, but I admin, it's not money that motivate me most. I think it's the community that uses your service. It's the feeling that your are doing something useful for people.
I was waiting for the bus one day, and this young lady said to me. Why don't you sit down? I said, because I don't have a butt. Yes I have worked my butt off.
Money is not the best motivation... you can get used to it too quickly and then when times get tough... you get the idea. I too have problems with *daily* motivation. Every now and again I get motivated and do tonnes of work, but on a day-to-day basis it's tough. DP and other forums can be a time waster, be careful. I like to limit my forum reading to about 30 minutes (unless I'm selling/buying or really need to solve an important problem). I'm going to try "Feng Shui" to help me focus my energy and see if I can't improve my work/living space and harmonize a bit... no, I'm not a wacko.
