But I just can't get motivated to work. Have 2 E Books I could write and make money, could do the review site and even have a little part time job I do here from home. More for the fun than the money. I could turn it into a real business. But without the need to earn money, I just can't get going and stay going.
I always wondered why people like Dave Sullivan, David Gold and Paul Raymond stated motivated to work hard when they obviously had so much money and no need to work.
So if you don't have to work how do you stay motivated?
I'm going to watch TV. While you guys figure it out for me.  |
It's really quite simple. People like Sullivan and Gold, both of whom are wildly successful from a financial perspective, largely tend to be driven by things other than money. Despite all the shit you like to talk about how badass you are, a casual glance at your website indicates that you don't really care about the quality of your work. Had you been more focused on quality and less focused on a paycheck for all these years, you probably would have made less money overall, but would likely be making more money and be less bored today.
