What motivates you? For me it has always been the desire to be innovative. I love the “eureka” moment when I envision a project in a totally new way. The core design may be something that’s been done before… adequately. But when I turn the thing around and around in my mind, I suddenly see a brand new and highly improved object.

As an artist, as well as a lover of antiques and collectibles, I sometimes think that this method of inspiration is the “shabby chic” of design. Giving new life to what was old, tired, and maybe even trash!

At each step of my career, I continue to be motivated by a deep desire to innovate, to create more great things. Sometimes I am inspired by a particular material or media, and I become motivated even before knowing exactly what I will design. This applies to new digital tools as well. Sometimes, in the learning curve of new artistic tools, I find immediate inspiration when I see how a technique will fit a future project. This is such a huge motivator for me, that the new tool becomes a new project, and often overrides other things I am working on.

Creativity comes from your inspiration. And that is the core of motivation. When you are intensely inspired, the urge to DO is overwhelming, and in such a positive way. This article goes further in describing how to recognize and use your motivation.

Keeping Motivated Is Key To Your Blogging Success For 09!

Wow! Here we are in 2009 and I’m well on my way with creating more graphic templates for my money making blog! In case you don’t know who I am, my name is Albert Hallado and I’m a full time blogger.

One of the king reasons I want to talk about blogging is that I believe it is so important because of the significant amount of revenue that I have generated using my wordpress blog. I don’t say that to brag, but I humbly explain this to my students and followers simply so I can motivate them to do the same.

Whether it’s losing a job or dealing with the financial stress of not having money to support my family, I’ve had my share of hardships. Through it all, I managed through my faith in God and my loving family to be consistent in blogging at least twice a week for the past year or so.

Whether it was losing two jobs and the financial difficulties that followed, I’ve gone through my share of tough times. I didn’t know how I was going to feed my family, let alone pay for the health care that I now was without.

Yes, even now when times are bleak in the world, even with negativity swirling around in every corner this great world, my family and I have managed to develop a simple plan of keeping focus and being consistent by blogging just two times a week.

Look for whatever it is that pushes you everyday, that makes you get out of bed when you don’t feel like it, or what causes you to do things that you do everyday, to help motivate yourself in being consistent with your online business.

Yes, life is tough, and it’s not always sunshine and rainbows. People are losing their jobs at a high rate, never seen since the great depression. But what I am about to say, may change your life. It did for me and my journey has just began.

Find what is positive in your life and use that as a motivation tool to began your journey to making your online business successful. For me, it was my family. You see, my kids only see the good in me and they are always so happy. Maybe it is because they are so young, but it has made me realize is that this is why I blog!

Nothing good happens overnight, so be patient and be consistent. Focus on the things that you have control of, and put aside the things that you do not.

Everything good and worthwhile happens over time, so be persistent in your efforts. Stay focused and use what is good in your life as an engine to make you more successful in 2009!

Folks, I hope this will help some of you who need motivation, or to someone who can use encouragement in these tough times.

Here’s to your success in 2009!
