Use Your Why

Want to give up? I know I do some­times. It’s easy to do. Just quit, you know you want to. Right?

Look, it’s real easy to get over­whelmed with all this infor­ma­tion. They say it’s the infor­ma­tion age and they aren’t kid­ding. But that’s just part of the prob­lem. How long is it going to take start earn­ing money? Or even earn the amount of money you want? Why isn’t any­thing work­ing? What am I sup­posed to do!?

Frus­trat­ing eh? Of course peo­ple tell you to keep on going, “keep on keep­ing on”. And they are right. You have to keep going to suc­ceed. It’s as sim­ple as per­sis­tence and deter­mi­na­tion to suc­ceed. Of course that’s eas­ier said then done so I’ll give you a small but poten­tially pow­er­ful tip.

Why are you work­ing online? Why are you into online mar­ket­ing? Think about this for a minute. For the money? Sure, but dig a bit deeper. Keep dig­ging until you find the real rea­son your doing this. What dri­ves you and moti­vates you. What do you really want out of life. Not the money or pos­ses­sions. Maybe not even the free­dom (although that’s a huge plus!). Think about this and write some of them down. Really nar­row it down. What is the main rea­son your doing all this, what is your why?

Write this down and put it in a vis­i­ble spot for your­self. Some­where you can see it often. When the times get tough remem­ber your why. Remem­ber what your here for and what your doing with your life. There can be some pretty large bumps in the world, and some­times it’s easy to for­get our why. Remind your­self and keep push­ing, and your guar­an­teed success!

What’s my why? Mainly my kids. I want to give them some­thing I didn’t have grow­ing up. I’ve always lived pay­check to pay­check and hon­estly it sucks! So I keep push­ing for two reasons.

One: So that I can pro­vide for my fam­ily, so I can get the things they need.

Two: And prob­a­bly a bit more impor­tantly so I can learn skills that I can then pass on to them. So I can teach them how to be a good per­son and be the best at what they do.

That is my why. So when the going gets tough I think of them and the whole rea­son I’m doing all this and it helps me get through it. Obvi­ously there are plenty of rea­sons to do this, but that’s the one that really pushes me when I need it.

So I leave off with one ques­tion. What is your why?
