Today it is snowing in Indiana, and when I say snowing, I mean it. It has been snowing since midnight and is now 5 PM and is supposed to snow until tomorrow night. This morning, I let my alarm go off, listened to the weather station, and went back to sleep. School has been cancelled for the day. So all of us (except for my 12 year old – who is an early riser) got to sleep in. Even my husband got to sleep in a little bit before he went to work. It was fabulous!
Not only is it snowing non stop, but it is the perfect kind of snowy day too. It is the kind of day where it is warm enough for the kids to bundle up and make snow forts or as they are doing today “snow chairs”, and there is enough snow to do it with.
After I got up for the day, I banged out 4 out of 5 most important things in my office while my kids played downstairs. Then I helped my daughter with some homework. Since then my kids have been playing in the snow with some of the neighbor kids and I even made them some yummy from scratch hot chocolate, which they gobbled down.
Why is this relevant to Internet Marketing?
It’s all about the why.
Everybody works to pay the bills, and because their boss tells them to. But what if you had no boss, how would you stay focused? For me it is all about my kids and my lifestyle. I build my online income because I want to be home with my kids after school. I want to watch them build snow forts while I pound away at the keyboard, and I want to invest the time in my family so that the relationships are what come to the forefront. The why of my family is my driving force. If you are working on an online business, then I challenge you to identify your why. It will make a huge difference in your success.
