Nothing happens without a reason.
I don't care how talented you are... how many connections you
have... how great you are at marketing or business or commerce...
if you don't have a REASON to succeed, then you won't ever do what
it takes to get where you want to go.
We're ALL like this, too.
You, me and everyone else.
When I was getting started I had to find my "why."
Luckily, it was pretty easy.
I hated my daily commute to work.
I hated working for some idiot who wasn't even qualified to pour
water out of a boot while I did all the real work and he took all
the credit.
I hated not seeing my family very often.
I hated the long hours.
The frustration.
The money worries.
The Sunday night insomnia.
I also wanted more out of life.
Financial security.
Freedom to do what I want whenever I wanted without having to raise
my hand and ask permission.
And to leave a legacy for my kids.
Those were some of my whys.
You may even share some of them, but it doesn't matter what mine
are... what matters is what are YOUR reasons why for wanting to
succeed?
Make a list.
Get worked up about it.
Get ANGRY about it.
And then you will almost certainly automatically start taking the
right steps to achieve those goals and get out of the situation
you're in.
Simple?
Yep.
But it's one of the most powerful exercises you can do.
