    The desire to help as many people as possible. Money is simply one tangible result of the effort put forward.

    The friendly and kind members on my forum motivate me to make it as good as possible. Sometimes, I get really unmotivated because I seem to have a drop in new members and post. But, the members there is the reason to get motivated because they are awesome.

    I'm motivated by creating something that is useful and interesting for the users. And if it pays bills, that is good too :)

    At the end of the day, if I learned something new and profound, I feel very happy with the days work.

    Taking a deep breath, enjoying the moment, a glass of wine, my family, and my art.

    Altruism - the knowledge that there is no greater purpose than service to others in my life.

    The trap of the 9/5, and the feeling of stagnancy I know I would get from not pursuing my dreams and my goals in life. Knowing that I can actualize my own dreams through hard work and stand above the norm or the status quo.

    There's so much to life and I just can't spend it sitting in an office. The fear of "not living," to me, is enough to motivate me to live, if that makes sense.

    networking with "like minded" people is definitely #1 remedy to get back on track
    I found hard to talk to people that are not in a business when you need support and motivation. You should talk to people that are able to understand you as they most likely have been there and know what you are talking about

    Gotta agree, having someone who shares your problems, and your solutions, and who can help you decide what you need to do next can be a great motivator.

    Of course, being dead broke and about to get kicked out of your house is a pretty good motivator too.. :)

    Some people are motivated by fear, some by love and others by pain... Thus is the internets PRON industry driven... :)

    Ambition is my key, I wanna be rich and acquire big responsibilities some day, thats why I've been planning to develop several sites by next year which includes an arcade site, a rapidshare site, a webhosting/design site and my main site. Meanwhile, I'm selling domains as well, for now. :x Learning to be superman.

    Well, I listed 100 things that motivate (or help me get more done) here.

    But one big motivator is:

    "begin with the end in mind"

    If you get demotivated on all the small things... you might forget the big things: the reasons why you started doing it in the first place. It can be money, freedom, happiness, fame... whatever it is you want - but if you keep in mind your BIG goal - then you can find motivation from it in hard times.

    I'm not motivated by money (however, it's a nice bonus).
    I'm motivated by my Niche(s) :)
    (Martial Arts and Assyrianism)
