Interviews
For me, interviews with successful people (and they don’t even need to be all that successful) are incredibly motivating. Reading about the paths to success and even failure help you to get you motivated to continue down whatever paths you’re striving for.
- Interview with Maren Kate from EscapingThe9to5.com (My 4-Hour Workweek)
- Interview with Bradley Nordstrom (Jonathan Volk’s blog) – Warning: You may laugh instead of become motivated.

Quotes
“Focus on being productive instead of busy.” – Tim Ferriss
“Being overwhelmed is often as unproductive as doing nothing, and is far more unpleasant. Being selective – doing less – is the path of the productive. Focus on the important few and ignore the rest.” – Tim Ferriss

Eric, I really like the Tim Ferriss quotes that you have.
One of my motivation is to check my Amazon and Adsense Income on regular basis.
Sometimes it’s kind of distracting and disappointing though.
