Why do We We do what We We do?

I know every single one of us has a different reason or why We We're doing this.

One of my main reasons is I really want to travel and I really want to not have to worry about coming back right away because of a job.

There's a couple of countries that I would love to visit I have only seen in movies.

There's a lot of reasons the drive us to do what We We're doing, sometimes fear motivates us.

Sometimes freedom lack of it or wanting more of it motivates us.

Sometimes people doubting us motivates us Spurs us on to prove them wrong including proving to ourselves that We We can achieve this great thing. Like they say the best Revenge is success.

So no matter why We We're doing what We We're doing the fact is We We're all here for our own specific reasons, and those reasons are valuable to us to the point that We We keep learning and implementing all these great things that We We are being taught here at wealthy affiliate.

And anybody that's a part of this group especially premium members know that this group is so incredibly outfitted with every single thing a person could ever want to know about making money online.

I've never seen such a great resource anywhere. That in its own right makes this group so unique that who wouldn't want to shout it from the rooftops, that's why when I'm talking with people one-on-one about wealthy affiliate and my affiliation with it. what its done for me and what its taught me and helped me to achieve.

Makes it really easy to basically sell it to people, but sometimes it seems so incredible the old its too good to be true question comes. Which my first knee-jerk reaction makes me see red because I know firsthand because I'm a part of the group that what they've said is insulting.

Because anybody that's took the training, watched videos, implemented all the things that are taught and new things being taught every single day and week and month knows that this group is specifically designed to create successful people. So when somebody approaches the realism of it with so its too good to be true. It's almost like they've insulted your mother, and nobody wants to hear somebody insult their mother.

Which brings me back to my original point of this post is why We We do this. I'm sure many here would like to be millionaires. I'm sure some people wouldn't want to be millionaires maybe they just want to be able to be comfortable, have more time with their children and family and loved ones, spend time with relatives who are reaching the age of more constant medical care, or you're just starting to build your family, and you want to take some lavish awesome vacations and show them the fruits of your labor.

Whatever reason it is they're all great reasons, part of the reason I'm posting this is that I recently had a conversation with somebody who more or less insulted me in the fact that I shouldn't be wasting my time with something like this even if it works.

That is like the most redundant statement that I've ever heard and its spurred me to basically combat this person which brought an ugly side of Me out, and anybody that knows me knows I don't like to raise my voice, I'm a very peaceful person and that's just my approach on things. That's not the way I used to be when I was younger, but now that I'm older I just don't have time for all that ruffled feather nonsense.

Well to make a long story short that person won't be signing up with me as an affiliate, maybe down the road they may change their mind. But personally I wouldn't care if I ever spoke to this person again because the way they came at me was not only condescending, snarky, insulting, and just plain ole disrespectful.

And another thing I learned is the reason I started doing this has actually evolved into something else and I'm sure that many of you may feel the same way or have experienced a similar occurrence.

In the back that are goals change, our Focus changes, what's important in the beginning kind of changes temperance of dimension in the fact that it no longer holds as much weight as growth happens when you're building your business and you learned what it takes to actually build a business.

To me I look at it like somebody that has never swung a hammer before handle boards Nails screw guns saws, then they start to build a house and they soon learned that owies happen, first you get blisters, then if you continue to work those blisters turn into calluses, then you get layers on those calluses then swinging that hammer and handling that saw on that wood and nails and screws no longer is the same as when you start it. You become seasoned in what you're doing.

This might be a strange analogy to some I can't help but see things the way I see them to me they make sense but some others they may not, so my apologies if you can't understand the point that I'm trying to make in this post.

Primarily what I'm talking about is growth, perseverance, believe, focus, elbow grease, which in some language is called Sweat Equity, and then ultimately results.

All this will happen when you start to learn and run your own business, there is going to be day it absolutely sucks and you want to just walk away and put your foot through your computer or whatever doesn't matter what you're doing there's always going to be day that aren't going to be the sun shining on your buttocks.

But what defines a person who is successful, against a person who is not, is the person who is successful perseveres through all the stupid, ugly, not fun crap, that you're going to deal with when building a business. All the opposition that you're going to experience when building a business, there are going to be people who think you're just absolutely stupid, and wasting your time trying to blow smoke bubbles through a pipe dream.

But they don't have your vision. They don't have the building blocks that you've been given here at Wealthy Affiliate, so they can't possibly know what you're looking at and the fact that you know, that you know, that you know. its's only a matter of time if you keep plugging away and doing the things that you've learned here that you will be successful. You may even become a millionaire!!

For some people the word millionaire actually strikes a cord of fear, Because people look at a millionaire as something that's unobtainable.

I like to look at it like when I was a kid like $0.50 was a lot of money, so when I got fifty cents it was like somebody handed me a gold bar. Well the older you get the amount gets bigger and bigger as far, as what is determined as accumulation that would make you rich quote on quote.

So the word millionaire is thrown around like the one-eyed Jack in a used Casino deck. But if you can make $10, you can make $100, and if you can make $100, you can make $1,000, and if you can make $1,000, then you can make $10,000, and if you can make $10,000, you can make $50,000, if you can make $50,000, you can also make a hundred thousand dollars.

You see how that works We We all have to start from somewhere, when you became premium here you had to make a decision to spend some of your money so that you could have access to all the training, that's called a trade, you traded a certain amount of money because, you believe that your ROI which is return on investment would supersede what you spent to learn. Some it was 19 Something summer was almost $50, either way you're learning to make way more than that.

So back to the scenario when I was a little kid and somebody handed me $0.50, that was a lot of freaking money for me, and of course like any little kid I wanted to run to the store and spend it all on candy.

So nowadays if somebody hand you $0.50 they're kind of like. Okay thanks?

But if somebody handed you $5,000 your eyebrows would perk up, you may smile, and definitely will thank them and your whole Persona will change from that moment on.

Isn't it funny how a different amount of money can affect you in different ways, so like I said before if you can make a dollar all the way down scale you can make 10,000 I was in a hundred thousand some even a million-dollar, the only thing standing in the way of that is how long it takes to do that. Well wealthy affiliate has the recipe and teaches you how to stir it in the bowl to make a fantastic millionaire cake.

Freaking exciting We We all have the potential to become millionaires, We We are all training to better our monetary situation that's for sure, whether We We're happy making $500 a month $20,000 $50,000. Wealthy affiliate makes it possible. This group will train you not only to use skills to get what you want out of life money-wise, but will also teach you how to think like somebody who has matured along with their money.

It's very important, one quick story and then I'm going to close this post.

About 20 years ago I was working as a tattoo artist in a tattoo parlor, and one night this lady comes through with this guy both young kids, they were both wanting tattoos. Simple enough right well I soon found out that this young lady was a recent lottery winner I think she won something like 19 million-dollars. Which wow that's awesome congratulations, I bet you feel lucky.

Anyways she chose a design that you wanted me to tattoo, the particular price for that design was $65.

I told her that will cost $65, she looked at me really weird and said don't know who I am? And because I recently learned who she was I said yes you're the young lady who won the jackpot. And she nodded and says yes that's me and I said that's awesome. She was wondering why I didn't charge her more money because she had so much. I told her the price is 65 why would I charge you more money just because, you have a lot of money. She couldn't understand that.

That right there showed me that she was immature with having that kind of money. I mean she went out and bought a Humvee in which those are really nice, and she decided to have the wheelbase widened on the Humvee, they already come with a fairly wide wheel base so to me it didn't make any sense other than the fact that she could just spend money on every little whim that she chose.

Anyways the point I'm trying to make is its very important for your maturity level to grow right along with your money level. If you're like a young child in your mind and somebody hands you a million-dollars you're going to piss that money away on just stupid crap just like me when I was handed $0.50 as a child. because, you have freedom that you never had before. But if you're mature and realize the true value of what that million-dollars could grow into, a lifetime of income, you learn how to invest, you learn how to broaden your horizons as far, as making multiple streams of income, so that million-dollars becomes 20 million-dollars or a hundred million dollars.

Bottom line We We're all doing this because We We want to make more money, a lot of us are sick and tired of being sick and tired, and sick and tired of being broke. Or looked down upon because We We don't have, or are able to do things that others can.

Whatever it is bottom line is its money and wanting a lot of money isn't greedy its practical. So the answer to the beginning of this post why do We We do what We We do? A simple answer would be the money. A person can doctor it up with all kinds of other scenarios and reasons and fancy talk but it boils down to We We simply want more money.

Thanks for reading appreciate any feedback, or comments.

We are all a team We We all help each other that's what makes this so successful.
