How To Get Staying Power
“People always tell their goals.
Fine. You need goals.
But your WHY is a big, big, big reason that will keep you going.
Where’s your fire? What do you LOVE? What do you HATE? What is really important to you? What do you really want? What situation in life do you want to get out of so it never, ever, EVER happens again?
It’s not goals. It’s not money, either.
Your real WHY is never money.
It’s about who YOU really are.
Your driving factor must be WAY more than money.
It’s something you want…or something you want to get away from. Better yet, BOTH. If your “WHY” is a 70% and you come up against an obstacle that’s a 72%, you’re gone. You’ll drop out, disappear.
But when your WHY is a 99.9%, then you’re here to stay and be successful.
Why are you on this planet? In one form or another, you’re here to change lives. Touch lives, and help people. What were you meant to do?”
This is the beginning of Michael Dlouhy’s explanation on the importance of you having a strong WHY the ebook, Success In 10 Steps. The entire section can be found on pages 23-29 in the free ebook. (Follow the link in the sidebar to the right.)
Most people in Network Marketing want to know every tip and trick to being successful in their business. Understanding fully about your WHY is one of the most important steps anyone can take.
One of the most common misunderstandings is confusing the difference between a WHY and a GOAL. Think of a WHY as a PURPOSE.
Think of the question: ‘Why Do You Go To Work?’
Your GOAL is to make money.
Your WHY, or your PURPOSE is to pay your bills or provide for your family.
GOALS give you the way to achieve your PURPOSE, or your WHY.
When working on writing out your WHY, you will find it takes time to refine it. At first, it is very common to write down money related GOALS.
As you work through this stage, ask yourself this question: “What is the money going to bring me?”
I may want to make $10K a month (my GOAL), but what will that bring me (my PURPOSE)?
My PURPOSE, or my WHY is to spend more time with my family (e.g. travel)?
See the difference?
If you’d like to learn more about writing out your WHY and your GOALS, you are welcome to download the ebook to read more of what Michael teaches.
