What's Your Motivation?

Hey guys, this is something I've been thinking about a lot today, what's your motivation to make money online?

I wanted to share a bit of mine here, one of the reasons why I'm doing this is because I'm planning on getting a family started within the next 2 years here. It's a long story, but I should be married within the next 2 years. I want to be financially stable for when that time comes, I do well with my normal job, but I am dead set on having a good online income within that time.

But that's NOT the motivation that I was going to mention here, the motivation that I've been thinking about is much more vain. Do you ever set goals for yourself?

I have one. It's a Nissan 300zx

My goal is, once I make my first $10,000 online, I'll buy myself one of these cars. Why? First off I need a car, second off, I have the money, but I would rather invest it back into my online business. I figure it's a nice goal to keep me motivated though.

So what about you guys? What keeps you motivated?
