I was really mulling over my thoughts today.
"What motivated me to work online?"
What drove me to conclude that this was the path for me?
What took me from making 6k plus a month as a fitness trainer, and a single father, to deciding that I was going to make it on the internet?
What was that motivation for working online...it must have been lunacy.
Clearly.
In reality, I was fed up.
I grew sick of not being able to sleep longer than 3 hours at a time.
I grew weary of the crack of dawn training sessions that, while enjoyable because of my clientele, drained me of what little energy I had to better myself.
I could never train in the sport that I was so passionate about and focused on pursuing because it was always time or money.
They seemed to elude each other.
I had to sleep in my car.
I was forced to spend more time at the gym due to my stretched schedule than at home.
I was jokingly called a gym rat, and it hurt, because I felt like a slave.
When I could get away and see my son, even for a little bit, even those moments were miserable. I loved my son and adored being around him, but he had already taken his first steps without me. He cried for his MOTHER when he was cranky. And he refused to sleep in my arms. It broke my heart.
I was done.
I let my clients know I only had a few weeks left to train them.
What was bound to happen was going to happen, but I was determined to see my child grow up.
Fear lost its hold on me.
Of course, everyone thought I was crazy, and I could see in their eyes how disbelieving they were when I told them what I was going to do, but that's people.
They did exactly as I figured they would.
Fortunately, I've always had belief in myself when nobody else would, so I kept on keeping on.
Since I was a young, chubby, adolescent, I realized that taking the bullies' remarks to heart never helps, it just makes you want more pie.
I did listen to the very few individuals that told me to keep going. To, "See what happens." One of those friends is an individual that started off selling hosting from his apartment, and turned it into a million dollar a year business. His black card was all the proof I needed that this was possible.
Obviously, I had less energy for that first month.
It was difficult.
And at that point I had to see my son less often.
After that first sale though, that first day, I realized that this was real.
I got past the biggest obstacle in any real online business.
My very own thinking.
Making money was now a tangible thing. I had something I could spend.
It was real, and I was doing what I was supposed to do.
Now, it's two years later, and I'm making a few years worth of salary and sleeping in as long as I want.
I still work as long, but it's because I love it, and because my son likes playing on the, "'puda," as he says.
So, what is my motivation for working online?
My motivation for working online is me, as it should be for all of us.
It wasn't anything on the outside that caused me to decide that I had had enough.
Nothing was different. Things were as boring and exhausting as ever.
What changed were my self beliefs.
I re-evaluated the opinions of authority figures in my childhood and formative years, and told them to f*ck off (in my head of course).
I was the designer of my own destiny, and I'd win or lose on my terms.
Although, I proved the naysayers incorrect on their terms as well.
I recommend a book called "The New Psycho-Cybernetics." You can get it at any bookstore.
I have both the book and the DVD set, but it doesn't matter which you pick up. Hell, get them both if you want.
I've read every book out there, and this is the definitive manual for using the full potential of your mind. It's not really New-Age either, it's been around since the 60s ( I think it may be older), so I don't think it qualifies. I promise you that you'll thank me for this.
Even if you don't get it, take what you can from my example, and remember to believe in yourself ESPECIALLY when no one else does.
You're the only thing you're sure of anyway.
Until next time, keep the pie off your face.
