Competition and reaching beyond your limits is what really motivates me to remain on the success and still leveling after each day.
Money is a great motivator, but what gets me focused is realizing the incredible amount of flexibility that I have with a web-based business. I can work anywhere, set my own hours, and still have plenty of time left for my family.
Yes and No, I do not deny that money* plays a vital role in my IM Journey, heck why should I devote without earnings, no? Basically, what is my true goal is to test water in IM as I am relatively new to this industry. Genuinely, believe or not, my main motive is to provide free* advice to my targeted niche and do not force anyone to click nor spread advertorials. Though money* is the underlying factor, my belief is as long as I am able to provide quality content and impart my knowledge (doing my fair share), I like to earn a little respect in this field.

When I started my business, I had two goals. 1. To be able to make first world money no matter where I was. I enjoy traveling and being tethered to one area because of a job chafes me. 2. I wanted to be able to make money while drinking a beer in a bar. I never liked the idea of trading time for money. Make your money work for you. I realized a while ago that if someone gave me a million dollars, I would never need another penny because, if invested properly, you'd never have to touch the initial investment ($1,000,000 at 5% interest in $4,000/mo. I can live on that easily). What motivates me is freedom. Money can provide that freedom or it can make you a slave. It's your choice.
I'm motivated by helping other people - I actually work as a CPA coach and I'm glad when I see new people earning money which they could not before, but then they are able to, thanks to the help I provided them. I've already had my own success, now I just want to see other people succeed as well
It's good to have money but it's not all. I like to help people and I also like IM. It's nice to work your own hours and to be your own boss.
Money can never be the motivation - I doubt if it can actually motivate even those that claim that it is a motivation. Money is the means to follow up the motivation with actions. Suppose you are motivated to start a food business. The money is the means - the motivation lies elsewhere. I agree Internet Marketing has good money but there are platforms that are much more financially rewarding than Internet Marketing. If money had been the real motivation, people would have killed themselves off in the process long ago For me, the motivation lies in the new opportunities that the medium throws up regularly. I am also highly motivated by the need to stay with the current times and the fear of ending up sending telegrams at the time of emails.
Money, is what motivates me to try harder every day, to make a better future and earn more money currently.
Of course, MONEY is important. But apart from that there are such think like Freedom, Passion to work and Risk taking ability motivates me.
