I was really mulling over my thoughts today.
"What motivated me to work online?"
What drove me to conclude that this was the path for me?
What took me from making 6k plus a month as a fitness trainer, and a single father, to deciding that I was going to make it on the internet?
What is my motivation for working online.....it must have been insanity.
Absolutely.
Actually, I realized I was exhausted.
I grew sick of not being able to sleep longer than 3 hours at a time.
I grew weary of the crack of dawn training sessions that, while enjoyable because of my clientele, drained me of what little energy I had to better myself.
I couldn't train in the sport that I loved and wanted to pursue because it was either time or money.
They seemed to elude each other.
I slept in my car between sessions.
I had to spend more time in the gym due to my stretched out schedule than I did at home.
I was jokingly called a gym rat, and it hurt, 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.
I was done.
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.
I quit caring.
People told me I was nuts, and I could see how badly they expected me to fail, but that's the nature of a human being.
I expected that.
Fortunately for me, I've always believed in me when nobody else did, so that didn't deter me one bit.
As a young, little, chubby kid, I learned that giving into bullies remarks doesn't help. 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.
I definitely had less energy for that first month.
Yeah, it was rough.
And at that point I had to see my son less often.
After that first sale though, that first day, I realized that this was real.
I got past the wall, so to speak, in online business.
My very own thinking.
Making money online was now a tangible thing. I had something I could eventually put into my hands and spend, or bathe in naked if I so chose (although 100 pennies on my bed would suck).
It was real, and I was doing what I was supposed to do.
In the end, it's two years later and I'm making a couple years worth of salary spending half the energy.
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 myself, and yours should be yourself.
Nothing external caused me to make the decision that I was fed up.
Nothing had changed. Everything external was as redundant as it had always been.
What changed was the way I saw myself, and my potential.
I thought about how many people told me I couldn't, and decided to tell them otherwise.
I was the designer of my own destiny, and I'd win or lose on my terms.
Fortunately, I proved them all wrong on theirs as well.
Check out a book titled "The New Psycho-Cybernetics."
You can get the book or the DVD, it doesn't matter.
I've read everything out there, and this book managed to open my eyes even further. Something about the way it's written maybe? I don't know, but it's amazing.
Even if you don't buy it, make sure to take from my example, and trust in your ability especially when no one else does.
You're the only thing that you're certain of anyway.
Until next time, keep the pie off your face. - 16089
