The solution to your problem isdeveloping a mindset of self motivation.

You need to know why you are doing this in order to know what and how you can go on. YOU,big caps and bold letters are meant as a yell, have to be motivated by YOUR WHY, not that of others.

When I was a young Town Council Member we went on an annual retreat to Flagstaff Arizona. There was a speaker there by the name of Phillip Van Hoosier. He was a former Major league umpire turned motivational speaker and he challenged us that day to find our why.

As he explained you do everything in life for your wife, your kids, your boss, and your God, but what do YOU do for YOU? He said the reason you lack motivation is because you are so busy giving you have stopped taking something for you out of life, out of career, out of business.

Why. Toughest word in any language.

Yes, it is. Especially when we try to decide what we want for ourselves.

Appears my word processor was causing this issue when I pasted straight over. From now on I will paste to Word before copying to training. Thanks for pointing this out.

Its something where we believe in team spirit and family but never seem to think we are in need ourselves. It's easy to put everyone above us and say yes to them even if its a no to us.

Good for you, Andy, for realising yours why.
Not everyone will realise their why because they are busy surviving.
My why is out of this world, more to spiritual.
Hence, lies my dilemma.
God bless you and family, Andy and all the best to you.

Survival is bull poop. You have to decide are you going to just survive or are you going to change your life. Not meaning to be rude or anything but we have been hit hard with mental and physical disabilities, my wife not being able to get a good job for her lack of education etc...

My nervous breakdown definitely put us in survival mode but we had to decide to put her back in school, to let me do this so I can help dig us back out from home where I am stuck most of the time. "We can make excuses or take action." Jim Rohn

How wonderful if life is simple, Andy.
Everything happens for a reason
Anyway, all the best to you.

Thanks for the article it helps to remind yourself why. my why is because I deserve to live the life style after all of the sacrifices I've made for others and I plan to travel the world before I forget why.

Understood. I myself have spent over 14 years giving and not taking in my business. It's now my turn to shine because after all of these years I have decided exactly what I want out of this.
