Here is a follow-up to my blog from June 5th - <a target="_new" href="http://affiliate-blogs.5staraffiliateprograms.com/2005/06/06/internet-marketing-success-motivation/">Motivation Gone Wild - Internet Marketing Success Starts Within!</a> I blogged about some motivational resources for affiliates and managers that work alone from home and often feel isolated. <strong> I posed the question "How do you stay Motivated when you work alone?" to some forums after I wrote the blog. </strong>I thought some of you would be interested in the great feedback and ideas that were posted. Many said they were motivated by the money but these thought filled posts contain some other jewels as well.
Here is a big long 2 page thread of ideas, including some GREAT motivational quotes from the <a target="_new" href="http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?t=270000"> SitePoint Affiliate Forum</a>. Duskwalker said: "Motivation is the key in our business. These forums usually keep me motivated; from reading success stories to learning great techniques. Personally I have two pages filled with quotes that I like, and I read them from time to time." A couple of the good quote he posted were: "Create like a god, command like a king, work like a slave." -Constatin Brancusi and "Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you." -Carl Sandburg
<blockquote>One of my favorites was from stephfoster at DigitalPoint: "When I found out my son was going to need surgery, I was very grateful to be working at home. As he is going to be continuing to have appointments for the next three month at least, twice weekly at first, then once a week, I find myself even more grateful. Can you imagine trying to cope with that many appointments with a job? It would take a very patient and flexible manager. Thanks to affiliate marketing, I don't need one!" Here are the rest of the replies and comments from other affiliate marketers over at <a target="_new" href="http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=17940"> DigitalPoint</a></blockquote>
