Why do you want to start your own home based business? What is it going to do for you? If money were no object anymore, what the heck would you being doing with your life?
I have thought a lot about these types of questions over the last 10 years.
My reasons why… Gosh, where to start.. I do feel I have not been challenged for the last 10 years. I have been just getting up and going to work, day in and day out.
I have been having this feeling of not accomplishing something in my life. I have been saying constantly that I am not done, I have more in me and it needs to come out.
I lost my son about 5.5 years ago, I didn’t know the reason why I had to endure that. What was gods plan for me? I didn’t know at the time what the reason was, but now I am starting to get the idea, I was meant for something more, and time is short on this earth. Further emphasis was put on this with my father’s passing this past spring. I was only 39 years young then. Seriously, I should be taking pills by now or something right?
Coming into my daughters 14th year of life I see her growing up and that excites me and makes me sad at the same time. Excited, because I get to share all my life experiences with her and hopefully make her a wiser person because of it. I also am sad because time is going by so fast.
I can’t believe I have been at my job almost 20 years now and still there.. when I said 10 years ago I was going to find a way to get out. I am all about safe and secure for the past 20 years, and I need to now embrace challenge and change more than ever in my life now.
Another reason is my never ending credit card debt. That is a mountain I need to get out from under.. It all started with my last failed entrepreneurial adventure gone wrong. No one could of predicted the downturn in the economy, but I could have responded differently instead of being bummed out for the last 10 years.
I am sorry to say this, but I see people at work being complacent every day. I asked a guy just today even, are you moving forward in your life? His response was “yes, but not very fast”. He tells me we need to talk soon. Yes we do my friend, because I am building something more than just an income here… I am building a legacy of lasting friendships, and personal growth, and yes of course the money.. It seems like it is going to be secondary at the point in time where I become debt free, or as far as I can get without owing stupid bills like credit cards.
I have my whole life ahead of me now, a new wife is going to be here on 11/11/11 and a new start for her and I together. I am so blessed to have such wonderful people in my life now. I wonder what happened to the people I used to talk to all the time. Where did they go? What are they doing? Did they start being complacent on me and can no longer bear to pick up the phone and say hi, or even call back when I say hi to them.
Reasons… I know that is not the end of them, and this list is going to continue to grow over time. What I do know is that I am tired of not doing the things that need to be done for me to get where I want to be in life.
So, Where are you going to be tomorrow? What are your reasons why? Let’s talk soon, it’s never too late!
