While I was talking with one of my colleagues today we were dicussing what lit the fire in our bellies. Not just encouraged you to say "Meh, I don't like this, I should really do something about it", but the real fire. When it feels like a Volcano has erupted deep in your gut and you feel the fire burning and driving you forward, pushing you to do something, to get up off your a$$ and make waves.
I thought it would be interesting to hear from people as I'm such we all have different motivations and desires.
For me it was when my wife became pregnant with our second child, just a month ago. I was pretty fed up with what I was doing, I travel about 60 minutes to work each way and don't get to spend as much time with my family as I would like. I decided when she told me that enough was enough, my family deserves better than this, I want to be around as much as I can and spend time with my Son and baby number 2.
That was it, just a explosion in my head and from then I have been working 11 hours days and have learn't to build a website and learnt about marketing and Google AdWords (@Andy Black posts have been incredible) and I'm just about to start getting phase two going.
So, whats your story?
