This morning I was sitting here drinking my coffee and contemplating what to write about.  I started thinking about who some of my biggest motivators have been over the years, and also about those I have learned from.

Many people in our business want to be lone rangers and try to master everything on their own.  Although in theory it would be great to know everything there is to know about our business, it just isn't practical.  One of the most important principals in any business is to "surround yourself with successful people".  I have written about this before, but I cannot stress the importance of it.

If it weren't for the people I have surrounded myself with in life, I would not have achieved the success I have to this point.

And you don't necessarily have to befriend several successful people.  You can learn from others successes by reading blogs, books, or just doing simple research on the internet. Since this blog topic is that of motivation, I want to share one of the blogs I regularly read that motivates me.  This would be Mark Cubans personal blog.  Sure, the guy is a billionaire which is great.  But he was not born into it.  He started out in computers and IT busting his ass just like many of us.

Below is a link to his success and motivation posts over the past few years.  Contained in these posts are some real gems.  This is kind of a lengthy read, but well worth it.  There is no better way to start a week than by reading Mark Cubans story.  If these posts don't motivate you, I don't know what will.
