What is Your Why?

By Jacob Gray

So, what is your “why”?  Why do you do what you do, whatever it is that you do?  Please tell me that it is more than about making money.  Sure, we need money to survive and it is great to have nice things, but if it just about the money then you will ultimately feel very empty.

To live a truly meaningful life, you must have “why” that is greater than yourself.  One that is worth working hard for, one that you focus on every day, one that keeps you going.

Personally, I have two “whys”.  Knowing what I know about what it takes to be a successful home-based entrepreneur, I without a doubt believe that I have something of incredible value to offer others.  Thus, that is why I am on a true mission to empower others and shows them the way to success.  Because if I can help someone become successful then they will do the same, and so forth, and we all are creating real change.

And a lot of people right now need a positive change.  Rampant unemployment, mounting debt, no savings, no cash flow, record-high job dissatisfaction.  People are hungry for a working and proven vehicle, a platform for a secure and thriving home-based business.

It’s all about breaking the bonds and becoming free.

My other “why” is my family.  I love my family dearly and know they deserve so much.  My parents have worked hard all of their lives.  Do I really want to see them work until they are of retirement age?  Of course not!  (Unless, they want to…)

So it also a goal of mine to plan for their early retirement.  Plus, with the way things are going, by the time they retire there might not be any Social Security left!  Which is fine, because I strongly believe in relying on yourself and not others, especially the government.

In what you do, do you have people thanking you on a regular basis?  Do you go to sleep at night knowing that you have truly helped others?  If not yet, are you working toward living a more fulfilling life?

We must become agents of change.

  1. Jacob,

    Great reasons WHY. Too many people don’t have their definite purpose or goals in mind when they set out to achieve success, and until they realize these exact goals, they will find it difficult to achieve.

    Good Stuff Jacob!
