Before we begin, it's important to clarify just exactly what is a 'why'.
Your WHY is what motivates you and your reason for why you have chosen to change your life and choose the path you are on.
It's critical to document your WHY on paper because you will find yourself needing to remind yourself WHY you started this journey in the first place.
· When you first begin your journey, you will want to have a real clear picture of where you are going and WHY you want to get there.
· When everything in your life is out of balance and seems like you're walking in a whirlwind, you'll want to remember your WHY.
· When feelings of despair and defeat begin to rear their ugly head it will be critical to remember WHY you started this journey in the first place!
· When you look around and everyone else seems to be succeeding and you don't feel like you've got what it takes.....you'll want to pull out your WHY and read it and believe you can achieve it!
· When you put your best foot forward and have very little to show for it, you'll want to remember WHY you're striving so hard and keep dreaming.
Now the real fun begins as we walk though how to develop your WHY!
There are two very important aspects of developing your WHY and it's important to really give it some thought to create a solid foundation.
1. What is your MOTIVATION?
2. WHY have you chosen your particular business?
What is your MOTIVATION? What made you decide you want to work at home? Many of us just want to start our own home based business for some very basic reasons. Perhaps you want to pay down your credit card debt, sign your kids up for activities, have some extra spending money, put your kids in private school or just have fun being able to have extra spending money you can call your own.
Basically, these are your goals and your goals are very important in developing your WHY.
I always suggest taking some time to figure out which goals are the most important and begin setting milestones for yourself. Remember, success doesn't happen overnight. If anyone promises you big bucks in a hurry, you might need to consider running the other way because folks, it just doesn't happen that way! This is real work!
Okay, so let's move on to why you have chosen to work at home and the particular business you have decided to join!
I can not express this any more clearly. It's important that you choose something that you believe in and are passionate about. When things may not go as planned, you have to fall back on your belief in what you are doing and love it!
Here's a good start:
1. Are the products affordable?
2. Do you love the products?
3. Are there a variety of ways to earn an income?
4. Is there an established system or forum of people that help each other?
5. Is there a relatively low start up cost so others will want to partner with you?
6. Can you make money with this program?
Stay on track and keep focused! Regardless of where you are at in your business you will always want to remember WHY you started working at home and never allow anyone or any circumstance to rob you of your dream. Stay on track and work towards winning the race!
Every business is going to have it's ups and downs. When times get tough, pull out the piece of paper you wrote your WHY down on and read it out loud. Share your WHY with someone close to you who will encourage you to continue on the path that will lead you to success. Give a copy of your WHY to your mentor and have them hold you accountable when you may be discouraged.
Working at home is a real business for those of us who choose to take it seriously. Hold your head up high and be proud of what you do and thankful that you've been blessed to be able to dream past the 9-5 corporate mentality and have the motivation to pursue the freedom of your dreams!
