What is your key motivator?

12 replies
Hey Warriors, it's been a while but I'm back!

Before diving back into this amazing world of Internet Marketing, I'm doing a little research on what motivates you guys or gals to work towards your dreams?

I do believe everyone has one key motivator that drives them forward to achieve success.

What is yours?

It could be a person, an event or anything imaginable.

I look forward to hearing from you, Joe Crosbie

    It's difficult to pinpoint but for me I envision what I could potentially be missing out on if I don't take action now.

      My family - and people around me. I really enjoy my job itself - and what I treat it with is just pure diligence. Most of them are lifestyle businesses, so I tend to have that "make a difference" factor in them. It's amazing when people come back and share all of their positive experiences.

      Fire me a pm if you have a question. I build businesses and provide consulting. I do not do finance/money/internet marketing niches. Fitness, self-improvement and various others are welcome.

    I have a very large family who I am close with. I am one of those people who can genuinely feel what others are feeling. So for me, the more people I have around me who are living a stress free life and who are fulfilling all their dreams, will make my life that much more satisfying .

    My goals are to develop a business model that I can apply to everyone of my family members past experiences or knowledge to what that have going on now. Weather it be an ebook, information guide or a product. Even if I am only able to provide them with some relief to the wage slavery most of us have fallen victim to... I will go on to lead a better life for myself.

    After the majority of my family members are taken care of I will then proceed to help my good friends start to live a better life, then the general population. The idea being I should eventually have this huge bubble of uplifting, motivating and successful people in my life that we can all thrive off!

    The one thing keeping me going is that people are doing this more and more around the world.. Im not trying to achieve the impossible, just trying to build my path to an already standing destination.

      The fact that life is too short. Now is the time to take action and pursue our dreams. Who knows what tomorrow may bring. We need to make the most of life, do our best and never have any regrets.

      Also I think about the fact that we live in the time of the internet where there is abundant information and endless opportunities and it will be such a shame not taking action being aware of that fact.

        It used to be "To make money on the internet" It has changed to "To be a better person" When I made that change in my motivation the money started coming naturally.

    My immediate and extended family is my motivation; I want to keep them happy.
    Another big motivation is that I want to buy a flat in Chelsea area of London [that is quite expensive and posh area in London] and I have promised to myself that I won't stop working hard until I buy a flat in Chelsea.
    Fingers cross for me please ..............

    My prime motivator is my own desire to experience perfect happiness and my desire to help others also experience perfect happiness. I feel more happy when I see others experiencing happiness.

  • Joe, it's clear to me that the number one motivator for me is "results". Results implies intelligent action to achieve a reasonable outcome. I use the reward results provides in the way of using my talent to create $ dollar $ sales in my paypal account.

    When those kinds of results are registered, no matter how small the sale, each new buyer represents a positive step forward adding to the over all monthly totals racked up on account. I smile. I feel motivated. And that's key.

    Although I'm quite young, my key motivator is the realization that I'm going to die some day. My time here is limited, so I'm doing as much as I can while I am still alive. Recently I found out that Steve Jobs' key motivator was similar:

    For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
