WHY do you do this? What is your motivation?

I just read a blog post about motivation and setting out your reasons why we do this.

It really made me think about my motivation.

I always say it's for my family, more disposable cash to spend on them, which it is. To work my own hours to help with childcare for my granchildren. That is also true.

But after really thinking about it, I know the real reason I do this and what keeps driving me forwards.

The real reason? The challenge! I love a challenge and I love learning new things. I justify the time spent saying its for the familys future but I do it because I love it.

So what is your motivation?

Hello! For me personally, the motivation to earn extra money is simple ... I love extreme sports and travel. Alas, in the modern world it is an expensive pleasure

Sounds good. If it was just for money without a reason its not as good a motivator. The travel and sports being the ultimate motivator (something you love) will keep you going through the ups and downs.
All the best to you.

God forbid, just do not fall on a paraglider and a motorcycle, there were enough of them))))
Thank you for your wishes!

Hi! My motivation is two-fold. I want to write posts that people want to read. It would also be nice to make some money as I do not have a lot of that.

I think most have more than one reason Fran. It's the main one that keeps us powering through.
Thank you for commenting.

Hi Linda.
My motivation is to retire at the same time as my husband. I want out of the rat race I am in at work. It's my driving force.
Wanda

Thant sounds like an excellent motivation Wanda, though I suspect you may 'retire' earlier and work from home.

Certainly hope so! All the best.
Wanda

Linda, In my case my motivation is having a better life to enjoy with my family and traveling around the world.

Great motivation Gilberto. All the best to you.

Hi Linda, I love the challenge and want to make a few dollars!

It is a great challenge, with extra cash as a reward. Great motivator Tim.
Thank you for commenting.

My motivation is the same as yours. It is the personal challenge and I love learning new things and helping others at the same time.
Michelle

That's great Michelle. It keeps us pushing forward even when most have long since given up.
Thank you for commenting.

Hi Linda,
My motivation is accomplishment. I feel everyday I learn something. I may be able to help someone and everyday my knowledge grows a bit more. The friendship here is another motivator for me.

Best wishes,

Michael

A great motivator Michael as is friendship.
All the best to you and thank you for commenting.

Linda 103 - Ditto, I feel the same way. Wish you the best.

Thank you Edward, nice to know. All the best to you too.

To help others less knowledgeable than myself. (that's of course if there are any).

Derek

That's a great motivator Derek. Methinks you have much knowledge to help others.

LOL, Linda, I am the opposite of you.
I do not like challenges but I like to learn.
As for my motivation...erm...lol...can't think of any at the moment.

Liking to learn is good Chang, it keeps us curious and the brain working.
Oh dear, you will have to work on the motivation part, lol.
