Motivation

The key to entrepreneurship other than having the stomach to risk it all - is motivation. The problem of course is how to stay motivated in a non-entrepreneurial climate such as Washington DC. While there is no clear cut answer to this, what follows are a couple ideas that may help:
1. Join a business network (preferably related to entrepreneurship) - there aren't a huge number in the area, but even one is better than none - just getting together with like minded people can take you a long way toward entrepreneurial success
2. Start a working group - there's alot to be said for having a group of folks who regularly come together to bounce ideas off one another and try new things
3. Start a blog - sounds sort of funny but really - taking the time to record and document what's on your mind whether 1 person reads it (you) or whether 100 people read it has an affect on your motivation
4. Tell a friend your plan - this set's into play a sense of accountability - none of us really wants to fail to do what we say when a friend knows all about it

Hopefully these 4 tips may help you get your own motivation going - see you at the startup!
