So the main reason I am writing this article is to acknowledge you guys on making it happen out there and for just taking control of your lives.

Seriously remember why you wanted to be free from it all?

This article is just to show appreciation and maybe a tad bit of some good 'ole fashion motivation.

How many times did you want to absolutely quit?

.....BUT

You looked at your wife, husband, kids, boyfriend, girlfriend (long term gfs and bfs of course), your dog, cat, or fish...

And said I can't do it. I can't give up.

Because if I give up what will this person (or cat) have?

I was reading a story some time back a few years ago about a very rich person (I cannot remember the name for the life of me) but the rich person died and had no one to leave the estates and money too.

Until that day the cat became the richest cat in the world. It's funny that you can leave animals to receive money, cars, real estate, etc. and only have a life span of about 9 years-maybe more depending on the animal's health.

I don't know what this story has to do with me talking about giving up and motivation, I thought it would be a good story to share!

Anyways so I was talking about motivation and one of the things that really keeps me motivated is the one word that I hear all the successful people say:

What Is Your WHY?

My motivation supplies me everyday and it is not the kind of motivation that you might think that would keep me going.

If you don't have a strong enough WHY, I swear to you you will not find true happiness.

Don't get me wrong! You may be the happiest person ever! You may laugh at jokes, make jokes, and probably be the mark of someone else's joke (but in a good way)...you'll feel like did I do everything that I sought out to achieve?

That's how you keep track of yourself. Like for example for years, I never had a goal.

And since I was in school, I was just coasting through life. I was never into that high school BS and quite frankly I found college easier, but in any case. I started hating school because I constantly see how many people were just so daggone unhappy and it's not like they seemed to want to change their fates because of fear....

I always knew I wanted to control my destiny and I needed to break the habits of a typical person that works at a job-equipped with "Job Mentality". I hate it.

I hate the job mentality. i hate that a lot of people don't even realize they are living someone else's dream(s).

Which leads me to my final statement and the clue about what motivates me. It goes like this:

"If you don't follow your own dreams, someone will gladly replace it with theirs."

And that's a job buddy. You'll always be a servant not a master.

Because The only reason why you know 401K is because that's what they've told you all your life.

Sorry but there are other investment vehicles out there that are way better than 401K to this day I don't have one nor do I advise it for those serious about money.

You've been told to go to school and get good grades all your life and that's what you know because you've been told this all your life.

However, if you pursue let's say marketing in college. You learn more about marketing in a month than a freshman-all-the-way-to-senior level college student combined!

I bet you can give an hour class right now on just teaching keywords and keyword research and how it applies to the outside world today. Look at market basket.

So my final statement has turned into more lines than expected...

The next ones will be better...

I think I should write a book....(hmm)
