What's Your Why
With out a why there will be no sustained action. Most people don't just get a job because they like having one. They have a why, paying bills, mortgage, car payment, and so on... To be successful and do what others are not willing, your why has to be big enough to keep you motivated. To keep you going either through pleasure of what you will gain, or pain of what you will loose if you don't. If your why does not instill action in you, get a bigger why.

What IS your why, James?
James,
How about sharing your why with us. What gets you up everyday to face the world? I wouldn't ask if I had not already shared mine. You can go to my profile and scroll down in my About Me section. You'll find my WHY there.
Best,
RICK
Follow up on What's My Why
My why is to not have to make choices based on time or money. Whether I can take the time away from work or if I can afford it. It is in our reach now with our business and soon my wife and I will no longer be held to a job. I also enjoy helping others to define and reach their personal goals. I also want to leave something more for my children. When my kids were young it seemed as though I was always working. Six to seven days a week in my main job and quite often a part time job as well. I missed out on so much when the kids were growing. I don't want my children to have to do the same. Living and Loving it. Thanks for your interest, Jim
What's My Why?
G'day James,
I developed my Why a year or so ago and eventhough life circumstances have changed a bit for me, most of this Why is still true.
My why is to build a multi-million dollar business that will retire myself from 15 years of Seismic. I’m building this business over the next 2-5 years which will give me the time freedom so that I get the chance to spend a large majority of my time with my family; my beautiful wife Noi and our 3 lovely daughters Namfon, Sharlene and Jessica. This will allow me to become more involved to help my wife mold our 3 daughters into champion young adults.
Over the past 15 years I’ve truly missed a major part of their growth. I have decided; Enough is Enough. The time is now, and this business is the vehicle to allow me to return home and be with the people I love the most.
I’m taking personal responsibility to make this happen and in the process, I will ensure that my beautiful wife Noi and our three lovely daughters Namfon, Sharlene and Jessica never have to work for anyone, never have to join the rat-race by becoming a professional slave.
I see myself connecting with Champions all around the world, developing long term relationships and helping each other earn their Financial Freedom. We’re building this business touching thousands of peoples’ lives and helping them earn financial freedom.
We’re continually shattering the defeatist attitude that suggests that we’re only building a down-line to make money from. ……. Well, firstly; I’m not building a down-line at all. We’re actually building a team of champions. And secondly; We’re not building a down-line to make money from …… We’re building a team of champions to help set them financially free and win the race.
Champions are winners in life and the race that everyone competes in is the race that everyone was born into, which is the Rat Race. Winners earn the gift of financial freedom.
We’re building this business, touching thousands of peoples’ lives and helping them earn financial freedom.
I am continually pleased to watch my monthly tithing donation increase with time and the children that we’re continually helping makes the whole struggle to financial freedom worth it, even more so.
I will be writing a personal cheque for $100,000 in December 2012 to Princess Margaret Hospital for Children (Subiaco, Western Australia); in celebration and thanks for releasing me as a champion from out of a coma ….. for I was once in a coma under their care.

Cheers,
Steve
PS. I won't state it here, but the so called "life circumstance" that I mentioned before is touched on briefly in my profile. But I'm still focussed as ever. Even more so now.
PPS. Thankyou for asking to hear my Why James.
