Let's be great today

Text
I got this text message from one of my business partners this morning as I was laying in bed, not really feeling ready to start my day. Reading this message was like 200mg of caffeine straight to the brain.

Like most people who work on the Internet all day, I'm very prone to distractions that rob me of my time and motivation. Reading this message made me realize the importance of having someone on your team who motivates you. Instead of laying in bed for an extra hour, stumbling out eventually, and screwing around on Twitter for a while, I was at my desk immediately and coming up with ideas.

And since my new job is about coming up with ideas, I'm going to live or die by my ability to get motivated and creative.

Do you work with someone who motivates you?

If you're an entrepreneur it's in your best interest to work with someone who can get you psyched up to work hard every day. Every day you waste not coming up with new ideas is a day your competition is gaining on you or building an even bigger lead. Or it's one more day you're going to have to spend in the office instead of traveling and having new experiences.

If you're looking for some motivation in your life, feel free to shoot me an email. Tell me what you're working on. Maybe we can motivate each other.
