Ask Me Why
Network Marketing is tough, challenging and most of all extremely fun. So many people come into the business but never succeed. they let a few no’s from family and friends stop them from fulfilling their dreams of financial freedom or what other goals they might have.
You need a strong why to make it in this business. Man! Your why has got to make you cry!! I meant to break the english to make my point. When you don’t feel like making those calls, go to your why. When people come at you with the constant bombardment of negativity, go to your why. Oh and when someone gets MIA, go to your why! If your reason for going through the constant struggles of building your home based business is stronger than your why, you will definitely make it through without quitting your business.
I can give you one word that best describe my reason for starting a home based business and that word is FREEDOM! That’s right, this word is so powerful to me and it gives me chills every time I think about what it will be like to finally experience freedom. Even though freedom is one word, it comes in several forms. I want freedom of fulfilling someone else’s dream as an employee. Freedom from missing my family in the evenings, holidays and weekends. Free from the fear of a layoff.
I want to be free from being someone’s time. I’m tired of punching in and out at a job. I want to see my family and friends without worrying about how many vacation days I have. My dad had a stroke (he is doing fine now) and it tore my heart when I realize that I do not have the money or vacation time to see him. That day my why got stronger.
Now let’s get into the money. In order for me to have the previous freedoms, I need to have financial freedom. If I had another income source, I wouldn’t have to worry about taking vacations, I can just go and see a sick loved one and spend as long as I want with that person. I can put money into college for my son and invest more of my money. I don’t have to worry about the politics of the current healthcare debate because I would be able to afford my own.
Home business owners old and new, I strongly demand that you write a strong why. When you do, publish it, blog it, post it in your office and your refrigerator. Read it everyday so you will be reminded of what you need to do to get through your challenges. Because there will be challenges. Nothing comes easy. I don’t care if you hear that at a local business opportunity meeting or webinar, it is not going to be easy. So get out there and arm yourself with your why and build your business.
