First Things First

If you are not making any money with your networking or affiliate marketing there is one person to blame!

YOU

We hear about the WHY!

Every one tells you you have to have a WHY! and you HAVE to write it down. It's OK if your why changes as you go along but you have to have a GOOD ONE.
Your real why is NEVER money. BEWARE OF GREED AND EGO!
When your WHY is 70 % and you come up to an obstacle that is 72 % Ninety.your gone. Ninety nine percent give up...QUIT!

If your WHY is 99% you are here to stay.

I don't know about you but this was really hard for me. Definite of Purpose. I mean what even is that?

I had no idea WHY I was putting myself through all the effort. I just wanted something...but I didn't really know what or WHY.

Sit down and write out as much as you can and discover who you really are. What makes you tic?

Here are some questions that have helped me to define my WHY and I hope they will help you too.

What do you love?

What do you Hate?

What is important to you?

What do you REALLY want.

What situation do you want to get out of so it never happens again?

Why are you here?

How many hours do you work?

What do you love about your job?

How do you like the people you work with?

What do you hate about your job?

What do you do with your free time?

If you had a 2 mo. vacation and all the money you needed...where would you go and what would you do?

If you had all the money you needed what would you do?

What Huge problem would go away if you had all the time in the world?

What would you do?

Other than money ..what are your looking for?

What would it mean?

What scares you to death?

What does your family mean to you?

What would it mean to be able to help change people lives?

Who would you help?

What do you want for your own personal growth?

What do you wan to accomplish in your lifetime?

What are your 3 BIGGEST reasons to be successful?

A really nailed down WHY is so powerful that once you have it Booms! Your here to stay. Take some time do some reflecting and NAIL your WHY! You can go back and look at it from time to time and change it as needed...but DON'T skip this step! It's the most important one you will ever take.

Get this done....and I'll see you at the top!
