What's YOUR Drive For Making Money Online?

Hello All,

You wake up. You get to your computer. You check your email. You check Facebook. And then you head on down to the Warrior Forum.

I have been living on this forum for years. It was like I was drawn to it, and to the people that live here too. We come from all walks of life. Every nationality and color. All types of personalities and experiences. All of us all brought together to this one spot. This one moment in time.

What's your drive for making money online?

Although I have had fantasies of financial bliss, having wealth beyond imagination, being able to doing anything I wanted, anytime it pleased me, in reality making money was always intertwined with time and freedom.

Money. Time. Freedom.

Do I want mansions? Yachts? Expensive cars? Sure. Maybe. But what I want more than anything is time and freedom. Time to be able to live my life exactly how I want to.

My Dad is 65 years old and still works 10 hour days, 5-6 days a week. He has given his company a large chunk of his life. He's been with them for over 40 years. But is it worth it? I see the lines on his face. I hear the sadness in his voice. He has "provided" and done a fantastic job at it. But has he lived?

I worry with my children. I want them to do well in school. To learn as much as they can. But I want them to think for themselves. I don't want them to be trained to be employees. I want them to be creators. My children see me plugging away at the computer, "working" for a bit and then taking a break and playing. I remember my Dad leaving when it was dark, coming back home when it was dark again. I have no memories of my dad playing. No memories of him sitting on the floor, playing a game or two or three.

What drives you to want to succeed with internet marketing?

I'm not very handy. People seem to think I'm lazy. Not going out an getting a "real job". But all I can do is smile. When my kids are not in school, they are with me. I hustle online because I love taking my kids to school. I don't just pull up to the curb and drop them off like the other parents who are in a rush to their REAL JOBS. I park a little further away. I get out of the car, and walk hand in hand with my son and daughter. Talking in those few precious moments before school. I tell them to make the most of every moment. To have fun. To care about others. To learn something really cool to tell me about later.

I then lean down. Give them both big hugs. Say my "I love you"s. Watch them run off to be with their friends. And I wonder what they say about me when kids ask "what does your Dad do? what's his job?".

When my daughter was born, I knew instantly the job that I wanted. It was to be Daddy. And you'd think it would be an easy job to have. And it is, for the most part. But I do deal with the negative looks from friends and family. Especially my Dad. Who thinks I have wasted my potential. I could have been a doctor or a lawyer. And I did start down that path. But then I saw my newborn baby girl. And I couldn't miss her growing up.

I hustle online so that I can capture all of those beautiful moments. Moments that I would miss if I were at a REAL JOB in a cubicle and suit somewhere.

So my drive for making money online comes from that. Seeing the beauty and miracles of watching my children grow.

What's your motivation?
