Does seeking moksha only for myself work, or should I think of others too?

Moksha for all, not just for self

Two kings of the Ikshvaku line performed tapasya (austere practice): Bhagirath for his ancestors' moksha, Trishanku for his own. Tapasya for the good of all brings the Ganga, while tapasya for self alone leaves only the Karmanasha.

If you act with a wish for your own personal moksha, that 'I should cross over, I should go to heaven', then what is left of your effort is the Karmanasha.
