What Is Your Reason For Wanting Money?
One of the things that a lot of people
tend to forget about when on their quest to
make money online is the underlying reason
for them wanting to make money.
I came to realize that even though my goal
with my business is to actually make money
and generate an income, that’s not reason
enough for me.
Many people think that just making money
online is going to make them happy, but
I’m sure you’ll also agree that the money
itself isn’t the answer to happiness … it’s
the means to some other end goal that we seek.
For me, the main motivation for me when I got
started was simply trying to earn enough
money to from month without feel like a foot
was on my throat.
Then when I married my wife Jean,my focus
shifted to trying to provide a good life for
the both of us.
To us (having both come from modest backgrounds)
that meant simple things like not having to
count every penny when we went grocery shopping,
and being able to afford a short holiday 2-3 times
a year.
So even though all this time I was trying to make
money, I was really trying to achieve something
else that was more important.
I don’t know about you, but for me it’s much
harder to get motivated to earn XX amount of
dollars, than it is to get motivated to make sure
we have a nice house to live in, and free time
to spend with each other.
When I focus on the “WHY” behind what I do, it
becomes much easier for me to get motivated and do
what I need to do.
And I’ve found I have much greater success when
my goal is a real, tangible goal, rather than some
number on a bank statement.
So what’s the point of my rambling?
I guess I really want you to step back and take a
look at WHY you want to make money online – what
is your main motivation other than just “money”.
For me, it helps me to have something real to
focus on and work towards, something I can visualize.
So ask yourself … “why are you doing this?”
Is it so you can spend more free time at home and
less time at the office?
Is it so you can treat your husband/wife or whoever
to a nice dinner out?
Is it so you can spoil your kids, or even grandkids?
It doesn’t matter what it is, but try and take the
time to figure it out.
Once you do that, you may find it becomes a lot
easier to stay motivated and work towards that goal.
And whenever you find yourself doubting yourself
(which trust me, happens to everyone) it’s a lot
easier to push on when you can see your end goal in
mind, and know that you can reach it if you just
keep working towards it.
To YOUR Success,

Sometimes just having it written down is an
important first step to taking it from just “an idea”
to making it something real.
