What Really Matters to You?

I had the most wonderful day yesterday away from my desk and as a result, I've been struggling to settle back into my routine this morning.

My Mom treated me to a networking breakfast and it was wonderful to be out at a stunning venue and meet a whole bunch of lively, inspirational, likeminded women, each with their own entrepreneurial pursuits.

The Fisherman and the Businessman

And this morning a beautiful story by Paulo Coelho popped into my head.

And once it was there, I couldn't get it out of my head until I had shared it with all of you.

If you've never read this very special story, I would encourage you to do so.

1 Minute Read: The Fisherman and The Businessman by Paulo Coelho

It's a story about perspective.

It's a story about what it takes to be successful and how much success can take from you.

It's a story about finding true meaning in life.

It's a story that reminds me what I'm doing this all for... and how much I have to celebrate and be grateful for.

I already have an amazing life with an amazing family. I have health. I have happiness. We have a lovely home in a beautiful part of the globe.

So why do I want be be an online success?

I have my own very special, very personal reasons for growing my own online empire. As I'm sure you do too. I will share three of them with you:

For my Husband

I see myself retiring my husband in a year two, I see him enjoying his life as much as I do, being home with us as much as he likes, being able to share in the magical experiences we have every day.

This is my happy. This is what matters to me. This is why I am doing this.

This is why I am doing the Super Affiliate Challenge. This is why I am working towards passive, income.

For my Parents

I see myself helping my brother to ensure my Dad's comfort in Frail Care and I see myself helping my Mother relish her "retirement years". I see my Mom and I taking on new challenges together as well as enjoying more leisure time together. I see my Mom going on adventures, travelling the country or the globe if she likes, seeing old friends and making new one's.

This is my happy. This is what matters to me. This is why I am doing this.

This is why I want to make money online sooner rather than later.

For my Audience

I take great pleasure in uplifting, supporting, encouraging and empowering women. I see myself doing more and more of this as I grow my online empire.

This is my happy. This is what matters to me. This is the legacy I wish to leave. This is why I am doing this.

This is why I am building websites for and about women. This is why I feature inspirational women on my sites. This is why I provide inspiration, support and help to women whenever I can.

And so today, I'm taking a moment to keep my eye on the prize.

By looking at what I want to achieve in the end, I can be mindful of how I am going about achieving it. Because if I'm so busy being busy building an empire, I might just miss all the delights along the way, I might miss the people I could help or the people who really matter to me. I might miss the plot.
