This is more important than all of the training in the world... WHAT IS YOUR WHY?
Write it down... make it clear... you need to always remember WHY you started a business and WHY you are going to work hard and WHY you will not quit when it gets tough!
If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious or unfulfilled, it is because you most likely don’t have a clear understanding of your “why”.?
People who have a sense of purpose are often seen as being unstoppable. They are capable of shaping their lives in the ways they want. When you become laser-focused on your goals, you will have no question about what you are getting up each and every day to accomplish.
It infuses you with passion for your goals.
When you know your purpose in life, you are more deeply committed to pursuing your goals. The idea behind this is that you will never have to settle for less than what you want in life. The chances are slim that your ultimate goal is to work for someone else or be someone's assistant. You probably want to create your own way. This goal will be fueled by your passion.
It keeps you focused on your goals.
When you’ve identified your life’s purpose, it’s easier to focus on what truly matters. You’ll be better equipped to avoid distractions in order to achieve your vision. You’ll practice this trait in the workplace, at home, and in social settings.
Knowing your “Why” means understanding why you do the things you do. It’s the reason you do the things you do. The reason why you MUST. The drive that motivates you to get to work each morning and take care of business.

For many, their why comes from necessity. You have to pay the bills and support your family. It comes from a sense of obligation to do what needs to be done without regard for your own wants and desires. This is where many of us get lost from time to time. We forget that we have dreams and a passion for the things we love.
Why do you work so hard? Why do you get up early and stay up late? Who is it all for? Are you doing it to make someone proud? Maybe you’re doing it all to give your family a better life than you experienced. We all have different reasons, and if you dig deep you will soon understand your WHY.
Your ‘WHY’ and your job DO NOT have to be linked. It’s possible you don’t currently LOVE your job, but you do it for your WHY – You work hard and sacrifice for your WHY.
