    For me I just like to stay bussy on a project. I like to be submerged in a business plan, having something to dream about, look forward to.

    Put yourself in the same situation as Mr Money Maker, that's the best inspiration you could possibly get. Undoubtedly he didn't set out to get rich with that first tool chest; he set out to make sure he could afford to eat. There is no better inspiration than personal desperation.

    If you don't want to make yourself incredibly poor, try thinking about stories like Mr Money Maker's, think about how hard it would be to climb out of that situation and then dedicate yourself to living comfortably.

    From personal experience anything that focuses me on getting rich tends to skew my outlook and lead me directly to the poor house. My best successes have come from just trying to live comfortably and that to me is inspiration in itself.

    Don't need additional motivation. I love what I do (being an entrepreneur) and the businesses I choose to get involved in and that alone is motivation itself. You don't need motivation to watch TV or to out and have fun with your friends. You simply enjoy those things and do them because they make you feel good. Business should be the same way.

    I often have people ask me how I can remain so motivated inspite of many personnal tragedies that have come my way over the years. I don't really know the answer. I do know that I stay in the positive and never sit around and feel sorry for myself. I tend to see each hurtle as a challenge and I love challenges. I have been broke more than my share of times in this life. Never seems to affect me. I always have fun. On the negative side I have found that durring successful periods I tend to get bored and start looking for something new. Kind of like chaseing a woman and then once you catch her loosing interest. I wished I understould more of that part about myself to want to change it. Steve

    What inspires me?

    Money and Success itself. You can't have one without the other.

    I got great plans not only for myself and my family and Money is my only vehicle to achieving them.

    Money can not only buy things...it can make things happen the way you want them to happen, unless God intervenes.

    Surround yourself with successful business people.
    Attend networking functions.
    Stay in the trenches.
    Get mentors: Jim Rohn, Tony Robbins, Zig Ziglar, etc.
    Read Books!
    there are tons of way to stay motivated, inspired and empowered.

    Write a story about yourself in present tense as if it were already true. What would you life be like? Hopefully that's all you need to stay inspired!

    nice i like ur blog, it's a similar concept to mine. if u don't mind i'd like to use some of the stuff u have it on ..feel free to do the same with mine. I stay motivated by reading of ppl who started from humble roots like many of us and fought through an insane amount of failures and setbacks to finally reach the top. i also like reading about ppl who are very successful who still work like animals, sometimes regular ppl do have small achievements and sit back and relax when guys like Trump are up everyday at 5:30 Am planning out his next deal.

    I agree with mthomas here! That's a super great question muzamilsa and the answer won't be the same for everyone b/c we all perceive inspiration differently.

    But I do think it starts with belief! Even when you are having doubts and low periods in your business and you feel like you want to chuck it all, you focus on your belief that you will find success and this is your foundation to help you to continue to move forward.

    I also look to others who have found success in things they are passionate about and listen to them. I particularly like Will Smith's 'Wisdom' and Gary Vaynerchuck's 'Do what you love...no excuses!' - you can find the videos on youtube.

    They both came from humble beginnings and their PASSIONS drove them and from those passions came consistent actions and as a result success followed.

    Good luck!
    P.S. And to answer your second questin, YES, I am passionate about my business!

    Your words are so inspiring. Truly, a person who is inspired and motivated will reach his goal faster than a person without inspiration.
