Know Your WHY
Whether you are in a Network Marketing Business or not, knowing your WHY is important. Your WHY is what pushes you to the next level. Your WHY should be so big that when you scream it to the world people look at you like you are crazy. Because after all - you have to be a little crazy to push yourself to
DREAM BIGGER right?
When I first heard of the concept of creating "Your WHY" I was so confused. I was lost. The only thing I could think of was "ok I want to have more money." I did not see the big picture- I really didn't understand what creating "Your WHY" was.
It wasn't until one of my business partners sat down with me and did this exercise that I truly understood what my WHY was.
I want you to really think about these next questions. Try these exercises with one of your friends or team members. Keep in mind your answers do not have to be like mine. Be honest with yourself! Really think about your answers.
Use this exercise to help you build Your WHY
1. What do you want to do?
Jamie Leigh: I want to be able to work from home. I also want to go on more vacations and to be able to travel around the world with out any restrictions.
2. What do you want to have?
Jamie Leigh: I want to have more time. I want to be able to go where I want where I want with out any worries. I want to be able to live my life with out any limitations- I don't want to answer to a "boss" and ask for time off or to come in late or leave early. I want to have the freedom to live my life to the fullest.
3. What do you want to be?
Jamie Leigh: I want to be successful. Not just financially but in all aspects of life. I want to be a great mom, friend, sister, wife and team leader. I want to inspire my friends- family and team that they can achieve what they set out to accomplish. I want them to say "because of you - I didn't give up"
Once you have your answers make sure to write them down. We will use these later to create Your WHY.
Now this next exercise I am not going to lie- I cried, and to be honest I know as I start typing it out I will be crying too. So go ahead go grab some tissues and come back.
The Towers
My business partner and friend Kat did this with me one day and it really opened my eyes to what I want in life. Remember this is me being raw- being honest with myself and with you. So I really hope that when you do this that you are honest as well.
I want you to close your eyes for a moment. I want you to picture that you are on top of the tallest building in the world.( Dubi) For those of you that don't know this building is 163 stories tall- 2,723 feet tall. Now for me this is very hard to picture. One of my biggest fears is heights. So immediately as I am picturing that I am on top of this building my hands start to sweat. And to be completely honest they are sweating as we speak.
Now as you can see in the picture there is a mirror tower right next to it. I want you to picture that there is a 2x4 piece of wood that is connecting the two buildings. It is a cloudy , windy afternoon and traffic is heavy. They are offering you $1000 if you cross that piece of wood to the other building. Would you do it?
My answer was NO. I am too scared and it's not enough money to risk my life. I mean I could fall! Plus like I said I am too scared.
Now I want you to picture that you are on top of that same building. The only difference is now it is raining really hard, it's dark and very windy. You can hardly see one foot in front of you. The buildings are swaying back and forth due to the wind.
They are offering you $100,000 to cross that 2x4 piece of wood. Would you do it?
My answer again was NO way!!!! It is not worth it to risk my life.
Same scenario. Imagine you are on top of that building. Now it is snowing. The wind is blowing and the buildings are both swaying. You can not see in front of you. But instead of money on the other side- it is Corbin ( for those of you that don't know me. Corbin is my world. He is my nephew who I just adore) and he is about to fall. Would you cross that 2x4. And before Kat could finish her sentence I screamed OMG OF COURSE!!!!!
With out a hesitation I would have crossed that 2x4. I did not let my FEAR or what ever obstacle that could get in my way detour me from getting to my end goal- saving my nephew.
Now I know that this is a bit extreme but when you look at it this way it really helps you to see what is important. To me- family is my number 1. I will do anything for my family. The money doesn't matter to me. Now of course money does help and it is a great perk but what is important to me is family.
I want you to use this exercise in your everyday life. Know your FEARS and use those to help you get to your main goal. Don't let what scares you stop you from achieving your dreams. Don't let your negative thoughts get in your way! Know what you want and do anything and everything to get you where you want to be.
It is said that your Dreams come right after you face your FEAR!
So now lets put this all together to create Your WHY.
Here is my WHY for joining Monat Global.
I joined Monat so I could have freedom. I want to be able to live a life of happiness. To me happiness is being successful- not just in my business but also in my personal life.
I have always wanted to become a Mom. This is something that is hard for us as I suffer from PCOS. I have been doing fertility treatments for 2 years with no luck and the next step is expensive. Monat will be my vehicle to allow us to start our family and to cover the bills of our treatments. Monat will allow me to work from home and raise our family. I also want to be able to buy a house on the beach for my family. I want to be able to go on vacations and travel the world all while working my business from the comfort of my phone.
