Motivation is a very personal thing. Some people need a big reason, like "I want to be a famous blogger" or "I want to make money from my blog". Other people are motivated by something more simple like "I just want to write something that makes me happy".

I'm not much of a motivator myself, but I do like to read other's blogs and see what they're doing and how they got started. It's always interesting to see what drives them - it can be inspiring or it can be depressing. So here are some of the things that have helped me get going on my own blog:

Having a goal/vision for your site - if you don't have one, you'll never know where you're going or what your goals are. Having an idea in mind gives me focus and keeps me going when things get tough - especially when I'm just starting out!

Writing down everything that inspires you - this is another way of having an idea of where you want to go, but instead of having an image or setting itself up as a goal, it's more like inspiration.
