We all have reasons why...

It's what drives us, gets us focused and working so hard!

So in today's question, while we're not trying to get too personal...

What fires you up?

.
What keeps you focused on growing your business and / or what inspires you to keep on, keeping on?

Looking forward to reading these answers :)

This may sound cheesy, but waking up ALIVE; fires me up. No matter how bad things are. Only one time in my life at a much younger age that I felt that death was a better alternative. I was very depressed, but it was momentary. Oh yes and my Knicks won last night! I’m frickin stoked!!

I hear that man, dark paths can be awful.

Good Knicks...I've always maintained that a strong Knicks team is great for the NBA.

And I was a huge John Starks fan LOL

Not that cheesy to be grateful for waking up each day with another chance to live your life. I think at one time or another we all experience the darkness and depression to some degree. I know I have. Not fun stuff. I don't really follow sports but Congratulations on your Knicks winning. If they didn't beat the Milwaukee Bucks. LOL

So I'm an idiot...

I already asked this question earlier this week...I think I'm losing it lol

It was more of a poke into your reasons why...

So here's mine.

Family fires me up. It's my reason why. And why I have no plan B at all....I'm all in on this online business stuff LOL

What keeps me fired 🔥 up is being a computer student and also know what I to be which self-employed I don't have to depend on any government job or public job being able to manipulate my business where and whenever I want, is my boss and most important to prove to others in my country that you don't have to do illegal things to have money, you can get good cash steady for you know your way online.
I always tell them " I don't need no frauds 😎, I don't need no.... Drama when PO PO calls".
Like it or not am already a boss on my own✌.

Zig Ziglar is amazing I would recommend any of his books, also his audiobooks are amazing, as they are like attending one of his shows, and the manner in which he speaks is very entertaining to listen to. The information contained therein so vital for what we do here. Lately, @jongolson has me hooked on Brian Tracy 😀

You can find any of Zig Ziglar and Brian Tracy's books on Audible, Amazon, eBay, and many other places on the internet. For example https://www.ebay.com/itm/143516689508?epid=135575&hash=item216a42e464:g:B1UAAOSwnPBf~w8f

My Why and What fires me up is knowing that I get to get up each day and do what I want or need to do for my family and business. Like this week we were able to just pick up and take off for a couple of days to get my Dad down to his condo in Chicago. I was able to still work from there on my schedule. Not having to ask for time off from a jerk boss who doesn't care about me, my life or my family. It's very motivating for me.

Lisa, you got that right. Working a job for a living is definitely the pits. Self employment is a life of freedom :-)

Chris, that's because with working a job all you're doing is helping the owner of that business get wealthier! You're never really going to get anything from it more than a paycheck. It's not like when our parents were working and the companies at least paid for the insurance and other benefits. That's long gone. I mean if you're okay with that then that's fine. But I'd rather work my butt off for myself than for someone else. And truth be told, I'm not a good employee anyway. LOL😀

The funny thing is except for Restaurants I have normally had jobs that paid full benefits even 410K. No matter how great the job usually within about four months it would turn into boring work. I absolutely hate being bored, plus the money was never that good. It only took less than 6 months for eBay to surpass my Walmart wages but I held on to it for another year just to be sure, then I put in my two weeks, talk about shocked expressions lol

The reason I got fired from my corporate job is because after a couple of years of being really good at cataloging books they shoved me into a supervisory position. I was told I didn't have a choice and I made the mistake of using the company's Employee Assistance Program to try and get my job back the way it was. Never trust anything provided by the company. I was put on anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds. I wasn't anxious or depressed. I was PISSED OFF because I didn't want to have direct reports. There is so much more to this story. But in every job I ever held there was a honey moon period and then it went to hell in hand cart.
The day I got fired was pretty entertaining, for me' anyway. There was shock and awe because I wouldn't react to them and only answered there questions with yes, no or shoulder shrug. I went full on passive aggressive. LOL

That was actually one of the questions on my job interview I had last week.
As a Spa Therapist is the people! And making them feel happy, relaxed, and better!
Online is no different, is the people too! Helping them to the best of my ability so we can be successful together :)

My why? Have to bring my boy's homework to show all my why:

IMG_20210517_103108.jpg

Forgive my fancy drawings but this was fun and yes my family is my Why ❤
Even though I haven't got the opportunity to explain what I'm doing online, I will one day!

Edit: lol just noticed that I replied to hivebuzz instead of the post. oh well 😂

hehe, I'll try to be around as I can, depends on the place if has a signal or not...sometimes spas are underground.
My old workplace I even had wifi and during my lunchtime, I would watch the webinars' replays lol
Taking notes or even working on content for CTP Blueprint. Good times!
But I know the feeling, it is a bittersweet feeling but I will do my best to be present anyway :)

Knowing that for the first time in a long time that I am on the right path. I am finally building things that can help people learn how to be successful entrepreneurs themselves. It's been extremely humbling to work with such a diverse group on a global scale. Leaving Apple last year was the best choice I have ever made for myself. The fact that my money continues to grow on a daily basis and that I am going to have something to be able to pass on to my kids without government intervention is really what drives me... Building a legacy!

until you actually got the job and started working there, lol. Trust me, you are probably better off doing what you are doing and being free! LOL. I mean it wasn't terrible, they had me for 8 years, just didn't appreciate me. Thought there was more opportunity than there actually is. They like to use people for what they can get out of them and not pay them any extra or really what they are worth unless you are in the development world, which I was not.

Building a legacy is a very compelling reason for success. John D. Rockefeller at one time was the richest man in America, was making $182 a minute, and owned Standard Oil. Even though he died in 1937 almost a hundred years ago, and we are still studying his work :-)

Since I am now retired from my full-time job, I have found that fires me up is having a since of purpose. I had not found anything meaningful (other than my family/friends) to keep my mind occupied. I have seen so many people start wasting away after they retired. I did not want to be one of those people.

I love learning and also sharing what I have learned from my years of living. Being retired, I am on a fixed income. ClickTrackProfit, CTPTalk and the hive platform has provided me the means of keeping my mind fully engaged, learning new things while earning at the same time. I look forward to my days of getting online, learning about crypto and online business.

I understand how one retires from an industry. I retired from the Marine Corps after only 16 years. I retired from IT after 9 years. Never have I ever retired from life. There is always something new over the horizon, and I think that is what you are experiencing.
Let me say that I am so happy you found the ctp community :-)

Family & Friends Fire Me Up

When I have accomplished my goals, this will position me to help those in need. Right now if my Brother needed a $5,000 loan I could not do it. This is a serious financial impairment. Even though I am self-employed, I still live paycheck to paycheck.

I think most people are in a similar boat and want to be in a better position. Together as a community, we are helping each other get better and achieve our goals. Maybe next year at this time, you will be in a better position to have the ability if it is needed to make a loan. One step at a time. Progress makes it happen.
