What’s your box of Cheerios?
Like many, one of the main reasons I started a home business was to become financially free. But that wasn’t my main goal, or WHY.
Back when I was working as a surveyor, the long hours kept me away from being with the important people in life. I missed out on a lot of activities when my two older children were growing up. When my youngest was born, I didn’t want him to go through the same thing.
Being financially free is great, but our goals should be emotionally tied to dreams. Mine, was to be able to spend more time with my kids and wife.
I’m able to have breakfast with my kids in the morning. I can now spend the time helping out at school when needed. I can travel and go to places without having to ask permission from a ‘boss’ to take a day or a few weeks off.
One of the biggest questions we should ask ourselves, is Why are you here?
We all want to achieve things in life, but you must have a goal and put in the work that is needed to get there. Remember a goal without a timeline is just a wish.
How bad to you want it? The success principal that I follow is BE, DO, HAVE.
Be that person that has accomplished that goal. Do what it takes. In the end you HAVE what you most desire. It all starts on why you your here.
Remember these four things to help you get there.
1. Visualize. Know your why.
2.Commitment. Be consistent in what you are doing that gets you closer to your goal.
3.Mastermind with leaders. Follow their steps. They went through the same thing you are going through.
4. Every leader made a decision to place on the top. You should too.
By emotionally tying your why, you will find that way and work hard to reach your goal.
So…..What is your box of Cheerios?
