Motivation

There are so many reasons that effect whether you do something or you don’t and a big factor, if not the biggest, is motivation to do it. What creates motivation and how can we hold onto it. I’ve never heard of someone being too motivated at a task. It’s always a lack of motivation. If there is a lack of something then there is obviously at one point a normal state, but with motivation I can’t seem to find that state. It’s always very motivated or not at all.

Let’s take this blog for example. My goal when starting this blog was to have at least one post-a-day on it and here we are going on a month with not a single thing written. Why is that? It’s not that I don’t have things to write about, have time to do them, and certainly not because I’ve given up the entire idea of having this blog. The problem lies in the simple fact that my interests have been elsewhere.

I’m at a fantastic point in my life where I can say that I am very much creating my own fate. I am building a company surrounded by all that I love and I’m working with fantastic people who, just like me, can’t seem to get enough of it. We have a true passion for what we are doing and I think that translates well in what we do with each step of building this company.

The hardest part for me is being patient. Some things require time, but as anyone can tell you I’m more of a man of action which is hardly the best approach. I think that if I can keep up the motivation of myself and my team we will continue to create, develop, and progress at the fantastic speed we have come to expect from our company.

I will get more and more into this blog as things become more transparent about what I do and what my company is all about, but until then you’ll have to excuse the lack of posts by the comfort of knowing some exciting ones will be coming shortly.

Thanks for reading.
