A Bottle of Motivation Please

Every once in awhile I write a serious post. This is one of them. To me, motivation is extremely important if you want to be successful. I'm not talking about temporary motivation like alcohol gives you to do stupid things including run through cars, wrestle geese, snowmobile over a fence that is clearly too high to jump and the list goes on. I'm talking about permanent motivation that will allow you to live how you want. We all have different opinions on what a happy life means. Here's my mini story:

I graduated college and landed a corporate job. You know what I did most of the time? I tried to think of all the ways to paint my cubicle red with my own blood. The corporate BS and politics was enough for me. "Goodbye," I said. I was making decent money. Well I started a business instead and cut my yearly salary in half. Motivation to stay away from the corporate world kept me going and now I do what I want when I want. It was hard work, but motivation kept me moving. Here are a few things I did when working on a Friday night instead of dominating beer pong.

1. Visited a travel site and looked at deals. I looked at trips to Tahiti, Hawaii, Italy, California, Cruises and so on. I wanted to be able to visit places when I wanted. My corporate job gave me 2 weeks a year. Eff that. I want go somewhere every other month. If I want to work in a different country for a few months I can. Try doing that in a corporate job.

2. Looked online for Aston Martin's. I love these cars more than my body needs water.

3. Looked at pictures of infinity pools. What would be cooler than going in your backyard and relaxing in your infinity pool overlooking the ocean with a glass of wine? Good wine. Not the $9.99 gallon of wine.

4. MOST IMPORTANTLY. Being able to help others accomplish their dreams. All the materialistic things are fun to have, but being able to change others lives is just sweet. If they deserve it that is. If you read my post about bad drivers, those people deserve shit.

What motivates you? There is one quote that I live by. "If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary." That is the most simple saying that speaks the truth. Hopefully this post motivates someone to stop playing Call of Duty for an hour and think of a cool business to start. Or if you are motivated to reach level 70 that's okay too.
