Do you have a business you love?
My son told me yesterday that he did not want to grow up because he didn't
want to have to work - it was "NO FUN". I asked him why he thought that and he
gave me a few reasons from things he had seen in other people. I asked him
"what about Mommy?" To which he replied "That's not work, you like what you
do."
Those words were music to my ears. Not to mention a teachable moment in
time. I told him, that if he wanted to have choices when he grew up, choices
about what he could do, where he could work, what field he could work in and the
choice to do something he LOVES, he would actually have to do the "hard part" up
front. Learn as much as he can now.
I want my son to LOVE what he does, so much so that it does not seem like
work.
So, think about it again. Do you love what you do?
If not, why not? Take a few minutes to meditate on that question.
- Is it because you just haven't found something that strikes your fancy, but
you will know it when you see it?
- Is it because you really don't believe that it is true you can make money
from home - that only the lucky few are able?
- Is it because you are still looking for the "one, best, absolutely
ground-breaking" business out there that no one else knows about and will make
you money instantly?
- Is it because you just can't pull the lever and make the commitment to
creating an income from home?
- Is it because you don't have the skills yet?
If yes, why? Take a few minutes to meditate on this question.
- What do you love about it?
- Do you love the work or just the money you can make?
- Do you vomit that love all over everyone around you?
- Or, are you a secret agent afraid to tell anyone what you do?
- Do you love it enough to learn how to make Yourself marketable?
I hope you are finding the tools you need to turn your "no" into a "yes".
I will be giving you even more
And if you already say "yes" - I hope I am giving you the tools you need to
make it even better!
Now, let's find something that inspires you to say "Work, what's
that?"
I say.. "If you can tell the difference between work and play, you aren't doing one of them right"
Either make work more fun, switch to something you'd rather be doing, or find a way to profit from your passion.
Life too short to waste time doing things you hate to do.
One more tip: If you have chosen to sacrifice for family or future, do what you have chosen to do and REJOICE.. you ARE doing what you want to do
