I was really mulling over my thoughts today.
"What motivated me to work online?"
How did I decide that THIS is what I'm going to do?
What clicked in me that made me go from a physical trainer that made over $1500 a week, and a single father at that, to an online entrepreneur?
What is my motivation for working online.....it must have been insanity.
Clearly.
Actually, I realized I was exhausted.
I hadn't had a good night's sleep that I could remember in the longest while.
I grew tired of the training sessions at dawn that, while enjoyable because I was so selective with who I trained, killed any chance of me having energy to work on myself later.
I couldn't train in the sport that I loved and wanted to pursue because it was either time or money.
Never quite enough of either.
I had to sleep in my car.
I was forced to spend more time at the gym due to my stretched schedule than at home.
I would jokingly be called a gym rat, and it stung badly, because I felt like a slave.
When I could get away and see my son, even for a little bit, even those moments were miserable. I loved my son and adored being around him, but he had already taken his first steps without me. He cried for his MOTHER when he was cranky. And he refused to sleep in my arms. It broke my heart.
Enough was enough.
I informed my clients that I was finished with training. I only had a few weeks left and that was it.
I would no longer fear the consequences for the luxury of security. I was going to see my son grow up no matter if I made a fortune online or if I didn't.
Fear lost its hold on me.
Of course, everyone thought I was crazy, and I could see in their eyes how disbelieving they were when I told them what I was going to do, but that's people.
I expected that.
Fortunately, I've always had belief in myself when nobody else would, so I kept on keeping on.
From a young age as a little chubby kid, I learned that listening the bullies doesn't help you any. It just makes you want to eat more pie.
I listened to the rare individual that encouraged me, however. One of those people happened to be a guy that started off by selling hosting in his apartment, and turned it into a million dollar a year business. He was proof enough that this was possible.
Obviously, I had less energy for that first month.
Yeah, it was hard.
And yes, I saw my son even less frequently.
After that first day and making a sale, I realized how real this was.
I got past the wall, so to speak, in online business.
My very own thinking.
Making money was now a tangible thing. I had something I could spend.
It was real, and I was doing what I was supposed to do.
Now, it's two years later, and I'm making a few years worth of salary and sleeping in as long as I want.
I still work just as hard as ever, but only after a night's sleep, and only because I want to.
So, what is my motivation for working online?
My motivation for working online is me, as it should be for all of us.
It wasn't the outside forces that caused me to decide enough was enough.
Nothing had changed. Everything external was as redundant as it had always been.
What changed was the way I saw my own potential, and how I was wasting it away.
I remembered how many people, authority figures, in my formative years had doubted me, and I would prove them wrong.
I was the person in charge here, and I'd fail or be successful on my own terms.
Fortunately, I proved them all wrong on theirs as well.
I recommend you pick up a book called "New Psycho-Cybernetics" You can get the book from Amazon.
I have both the book and the DVD set, but it doesn't matter which you pick up. Hell, get them both if you want.
I've read every book out there, and this is the definitive manual for using the full potential of your mind. It's not really New-Age either, it's been around since the 60s ( I think it may be older), so I don't think it qualifies. I promise you that you'll thank me for this.
Even if you don't get it, take what you can from my example, and remember to believe in yourself ESPECIALLY when no one else does.
You're the only thing you know about for sure anyway.
Until we meet again, keep the pie off your face.
