Have you got to the point in your life where who are fed up with the daily grind, getting up early, rushing to get ready to pursue a career that you no longer enjoy, while all the time, your family are growing up around you?
Your family become removed and remote as you spend less and less time with them. But if anyone asks you why you do what you do, the answer is the same - "I am making these sacrifices for the people I love - They just don't realize it" Is that really the case? Is this what life is all about? Are you really fulfilled? How long more do you plan to do this? Is this just conforming to a standard whereby you will give the best years of your life to your career for a faceless corporation?
Recently, I quizzed a person about his values in the highest order. He promptly told me that his top three values were Family, Health and Success in that order. He told me that he worked on average 80 hours per week and he did that because he wanted to provide for his family.
It was then pointed out to the man that his family felt neglected and unloved. The shock was visible on his face. Who then was he working for? What was his real motivation? At what point was he going to do something for himself? His children wanted him to spend time with them and not substitute time with material things that they had no value in?
This was a real "aha" moment for him. He began to question his true motivations and look at why he did what he did.
After much deliberation he announced that he was merely living his life as other people expected him to lead it and did not actually question it himself. Until Now.
Over the following 2 months, this person began to assess his true motivations. He wanted to spend time with his family. He wanted to travel and he wanted to pursue other interests while he still could. But to do this he needed money. and he could see no other way than working his corporate job for long hours every day.
He really needed to think outside the box and this new awareness had really caused him some anxious moments. He became determined to make a change and began to look around for answers.
He started to look on line and was blown away by the multitude of business opportunities that existed online. He began to do some research. He began a 3 month long education process on what opportunities really exists for someone of his skills. All the time he told himself "a business working from home can make me a very good income and I will be able to spend more time with my family - I can be there for them and be part of their lives"
Within 2 months he had found an online business in a niche that he was interested in, one that he understood and one in which he felt there was a growing market place.
He sought out people who had already achieved what he sought. He consulted with them and learned from them. He spoke to people in similar business. He worked on mindset. he drew out his dream chart which did not feature him in a cubicle for 10 hours per day.
It took him 8 weeks to get an online business up and running, generating leads and orders. " months later he handed in his letter of resignation to his boss.
