Motivation and Dedication – Drive to Success
This post is a part two of my last post about Inspiration – Foundation of Ideas. Why am I writing these posts? Because I believe every person who starts a business online should know these valuable things which can help them make their vision of success come true.
Motivation and Dedication are the most important factor that determines the success of an online business. There are thousands of websites on the world wide web. Only those with motivated and dedicated owners tend to stand out among their industry.
All the webistes that are already at the top didn’t just get to the top for no reason. The owners and developers behind it worked hard. They were motivated and dedicated to their business. They all had their own goals. Which led them to be successful as an online businessman.
Many people enter the online business thinking it is very easy to make money online. How hard can it be? You just launch a website and put ads on it, and it will make money. WRONG. That is not how it works. You have to put all your hard work in the website to make it to that level so it is worthy enough for people.
I remember when I started out not knowing a single thing about photoshop. Reading every online tutorial that I could. Messing around on my own and keeping a track of what I do. Now I don’t consider myself a photoshop god, but I am decent with it and can fulfill my needs. Same thing goes with when I started out IDK. Ofcourse I didn’t work on the scripting end that much because the script was available to me, but I modified a whole lot of the site to make it work the way I wanted to make it work. It took alot of planning and time before I had the site completed. Then I decided to redesign it and add more features to it. Which took me over 2 months. Which is nothing compared to what Shoemoney did with his ring tone website. It took him four years to code the entire thing and make it work perfect in php.
This make the point clear that it does require alot of hard work. You need to be motivated and dedicated to be a successful online businessman. Treat your website like a job if you want it to be successful. A job that you like to do and not bored with, so you don’t slack of.
Good luck with your online businesses.
Hey, I am Syed Balkhi, The guy who is behind Balkhis Inc. I entered the industry back in 2002 not knowing a single thing. I barely spoke English at that time. In the past six years, my language barrier has been eliminated. Aside from English, now I also speak html, and php. Along with the languages I have also managed to master a few arts. Art of web-designing started when I first entered. Messing around with photoshop, I learned how to create my first web design. Now I founded a web designing firm Uzzz Productions. After running numerous amount of websites in various niche, I have mastered the art of web-development. Now I am compiling a resource of what I already know, and what I am learning on this blog. This resource is to help me if I ever need a guide to look back to, and it is help my fellow webmasters.
It took me about 4 months before my blog started to profit. What had keep me motivate was google analytics & adsense.
Weird huh?
I always have a target visitor a day and each month and when I reached it, I became more motivated.
Plus, every weekend, I make it appoint to write entries for my site. I even have a chacklist of what things to write and such

Thats a great story. I think reading about others success is a big motivator for me to try something different too.
adsense is the motivation for many people. I’ve seen people almost give up blogging if their Adsense accounts were suspended!
You have truly explained how i kind of started out.
I think motivation is something that is necessary to do anything whether its full time blogging or getting that six pack. It takes motivation and an attitude of achieving success that leads to results.
