Why do you do what you do, everyday?

What is your why?


That's my favorite motivational speaker. I love his energy and all of his speeches. You can tell he feels everything he says.

What is your why?

Don't feel obligated to read mine. I'm interested in hearing why other people wake up every morning and work. It's not only for the money, it's deeper than that because there's a long period of time in internet marketing where you have to work every day and you don't see a single cent.

My why: I have a BIG family. Nobody in my family is rich, and if they are, they're not close to us so I wouldn't consider them family. I've never had everything I wanted growing up. I would go outside and see some kids no their brand new bikes, and I was still riding around on a scooter or roller blades. However, I never complained. One of my "why's" is to have everything that I've never had as a child and to give my family (when I get one) everything that my parents weren't able to give me. And to also give my parents everything they were never able to have.

I will be the first to admit that I messed up in High School. And I'm not bragging but I'm REALLY smart compared to a lot of people my age. Through it all, everybody used to always speak on the bad that I did. My grandma, however, would always acknowledge that one A, even if I did get 5 F's (never happened, by the way. I wasn't THAT bad Just an example). So another "why" is for my grandma. She passed away last month, and she was one of the very few people, through all my rebellious days that told me that she sees what even I don't see in myself. She knew that I was capable of anything.

      One of my own as well. To do what I want, when I want, and not have to worry about how to afford it.

    wow that was a really great video. Simple, but to the point.

    well for me when it comes to this internet business my Why is to be able to work from the comfort of my home so I can set my own hours and don't have to answer to no one else especially as the Workplace has a lot of backbiting and back stabbers...

    I also want to be able to one day be a good provider for my family when I get married and have children....

    Those are some of my why's

      Yeah! All of his videos are under 10 minutes. He has excellent delivery and the only Motivational Speaker I know that can get me pumped to go do some work in 3 minutes or less. lol

      I also share some of the same "why's" with you. Also, I'm still very young, but doing great for my age and plan to be doing a whole lot better within the next couple of months. Working on a big project at the moment that should take off soon enough. I would love to be able to be a "stay at home dad" for my family, and maybe even retire my parents so they can enjoy life before it's too late.

    I do what I do to:
    have fun
    make money
    feel satisfaction

    Those 3 seem to be all the inspiration I need, and the fact I
    enjoy what I do, and make enough money in the 20-25 hours I spend in IM
    each week to pay the bills, gives me the freedom to do some other
    things I enjoy as well.

    Voracious pursuit of my full potential so that at the end of my life I can be proud that I went for it, no matter the outcome. That includes being the best father I can be, brother, son, friend and successful Internet Marketer. Anything less and I'm coasting, which is unacceptable!

      because i don't want to have to go into an office and sit ever again.

      because i like having goals to accomplish otherwise i wouldn't have much to do and life would be kind of boring

      because i really like making money

      it is a great satisfaction to be able to rub success in a couple of jerks faces.

    1. Find the value of your daily activities or tasks even for the smallest one.
    2. Try to give added value for them.
