Hello all! I am glad to say that this will be my first post for Motive Media's Blog. I have been trapped in my cell for over a year and decided that it was time to crawl out ;)

If you have ever taken on a large project that included multiple phases and multiple people then hopefully you will be able to appreciate this post. Working in new media for over 4 years and having a new media company, you get to experience the ups and downs of business, and the highs and lows of emotions. I could rant about all of the horrible things, but I won't go there. I am going to cover the greatest thing that we (two partners and myself) here at Motive Media have found to be the greatest part of running your own new media business, completion of a project.

Moving through the process of entire project is very stressful and can be draining at some points. Especially, if you have to fill in many roles like; client relations, managing, and obviously production. I think you get the point that I am trying to get across, almost every project has a high stress level that sits on you until the project is completed. We all know that this, at times, can become very hard to deal with.

But nothing compares to the natural high you receive after the completion of a project. You get the first surge when you know the project is done and it has been published. The second surge hits you during your follow-up meeting with your client. But the third and best surge hits you a couple days or even a couple weeks later when you are looking back on the project or you see your project in the public and realize that YOUR COMPANY produced that! Realizing that you built a relationship, made a sell, produced the project, and made the client happy all hits you at once and it is something that can be explained in words.

Well, I hope you enjoyed my first post :) I am off to enjoy a beautiful Saturday in Boise!
