What is your "why"?

Tweet

Now, I know that we all are in business, whether it be online or offline, to make money. But what most people don't know is that can't be your only reason to be in business. It simply isn't a strong enough argument to have against struggling through the first stages of getting your business out there. You have to have a reason, a burning desire to be in business. For me, the reason is twofold. First, I want to be able to watch my kids grow up, not pay someone else to do it for me. I have to provide for my kids, sometimes by myself being a single parent, but for me its not worth it to have someone steal my child's precious moments away from me. I view online business as a way to alleviate that problem. I can earn money without having to go to a traditional workplace, and miss out on my kids childhood. I can set my own hours to work, so that I can be there for my children when they truly need it. I can take off from working my business and not have to report to someone as to the reason why. Second, in searching for the right opportunity these past four years, I've seen that all the big names were names of men. I know that its not only men that do online business, so why is it that there are no women's names alongside of Ewen Chia, Robert Puddy, and Santa Sal? I want to be one of the first well-known female internet marketers. I plan to do this by learning everything I can about internet marketing, and then using that information not to sell to others, but to help them. So, what is your "why"? What keeps you fighting to earn an income online? Why haven't you given up on your vision? And don't feel bad if you don't have one on the top of your mind. You can use discussion as a chance to dig deep down in your soul, and realize what your "why" truly is. It took another person to ask me this very same question for me to realize mine!
