What is your greatest motivation to succeed?
For me it's:
the people who don't believe in me
the poeple who do believe in me
the money
bragging rights
the recognition
the people who wonder what i do on the computer all day
the self esteem
the money

All the above and boredom is also a motivator
For me its the people who don't think you can actually make good money from the web and because I just love doing it.
I also forgot to add getting a new iPod becuase my one was broken so I got a refund in cash and then lost the cash.
I'd have to agree with these and add having the freedom to do what I want to do when I want to do it without having to ask some boss for a day off or being limited to a set number of vacation days.Originally Posted by Giles

Getting to do what I want to do when I want to do it: Priceless.

I just want to be the best at everything, thats what keeps me rolling
And I don't mean I just want to do better then everyone else, for the sake of "beating" them, but I want to do the best that I can possible do.
Yes that is definitely a bonus, making spare of the minute decisions on what to do that day.Originally Posted by KLB
Earning more than my friends who work at supermarkets and fast food restaraunts. Now that is pretty priceless.
I hate to say it, but right now, I'm largely motivated by the money. I don't like being that way, but you live long enough without enough of it, you will get really tired of it, not out of greed or anything, but just because you're tired of stressing over finances. Maybe money can't buy happiness, but it sure makes it a lot easier to find happiness.
My second big motivating factor is the ability to do work from home while I can stay around the house and take care of / raise / play with my kid. Throw in the fact that I would have a hard tiem getting anywhere else to work due to my eyesight and there you have it.
For me it is partly for financial freedom, and partly the desire to be a successful self made business man. I know I can do it, and I won't be satisified until I have done it.

My motivation is to be able to work from home (for myself) and support both myself and my wife (and any kids that happen to show up!). That would kick bottom.
