BEAUTY KLINIC

I was really mulling over my thoughts today.

“What drove me to work online?”

How did I come to the decision that I was going to do this?

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.

Absolutely.

Actually, I decided that I was tired.

I grew sick of not being able to sleep longer than 3 hours at a time.

I grew tired of the training sessions at dawn that, while enjoyable because I was so selective with who I trained, killed any chance of me having energy to work on myself later.

I could never train in the sport that I was so passionate about and focused on pursuing because it was always time or money.

Never quite enough of either.

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 would jokingly be called a gym rat, and it stung badly, because I felt like a slave.

When I could see my son, I was miserable. I loved being with him, but the fact that he had already taken his first steps without me, and cried for his mother when he was cranky broke my heart.

Enough was enough.

I let my clients know I only had a few weeks left to train them.

Whatever happened was going to happen. But I was going to see my son grow up whether I made a fortune online, or worked at McDonald’s.

I didn’t care.

Everyone thought I was out of my mind, and I knew how little they believed in me, but that’s what people do.

I didn’t expect any less from them.

Thankfully, I’ve always believed in myself when nobody else had, so I kept pushing.

From a young age as a little chubby kid, I learned that listening the bullies doesn’t help you any. It just makes you want to eat more pie.

I listened to the rare individual that encouraged me, however. One of those people happened to be a guy that started off by selling hosting in his apartment, and turned it into a million dollar a year business. He was proof enough that this was possible.

Yeah, I had less energy for that first month.

It was difficult.

And, I had to see my son less.

After that first sale though, that first day, I realized that this was real.

I got past the biggest obstacle of any real business online.

My way of thinking.

Making money was now a tangible thing. I had something I could spend.

It was real, and I knew 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 just as hard as ever, but only after a night’s sleep, and only because I want to.

So, in conclusion, what’s my motivation for working online?

My motivation for working online is me, as it should be for all of us.

Nothing external caused me to make the decision that I was fed up.

Nothing was different. Things were as boring and exhausting as ever.

What changed were my self beliefs.

I thought about how many people told me I couldn’t, and decided to tell them otherwise.

I was the designer of my own destiny, and I’d win or lose on my terms.

Surprisingly, I proved them wrong on their terms as well.

Check out a book titled “The New Psycho-Cybernetics.”

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 everything out there, and this book managed to open my eyes even further. Something about the way it’s written maybe? I don’t know, but it’s amazing.

If you don’t get it, take what you will from my example, and always believe in your own abilities, especially when no one else does.

You’re the only thing you’re sure of anyway.

So, until next time, keep the pie off your face.
