Why I do this...

in #business7 years ago (edited)

Why do I read so many success books? Why do I make so many success posts? Why do I wake up at 5 am every morning? Why do I write down goals every day? Why do I want to run a billion dollar business? Why do I want to own Millions in real estate? Why do I want to be a millionaire? Why do I want to influence? Why do I love what I do? Why do I strive to be great? Why do I get so frustrated when I cant please everyone?

Its not as simple as it may seem. Its actually funny because in school (Elementary — College) I was an UN-inspired jack-weed. I was ON the football team, but I didn't care. I went to class, but I didn't strive for amazing grades that others wanted. I goofed off, and had a lot of laughs and showed no signs of any entrepreneurial tendency's.
But then all of a sudden, i have this immense, untamed DRIVE to become something. Become a legend. I want to have my name talked about long after im gone. I want to change millions of lives. I want to change millions of businesses. I am working 12–15 hour days and I LOVE IT!!!

So why? First off you probably think that im just greedy and want a bunch of money, thats fine. Refer to my OPINIONS blog if you think that :) Thats not really the case though. I have an incredible urge in me to give back. I've been very blessed over my 23 years with the family i was born into, the opportunities i have had, the drive my parents had (have) to give me and my sister a great life. Because of that I want to give back. I would love to be the one to pay off my church’s debt. I would love to be the one to buy my mom a Rolls. I want my parents to retire and know that the business is going to keep growing exponentially.
I would love to be the one to pay off my Church’s debt.
I also want to be able to provide 100% for my family. I dont want to live paycheck to paycheck. I want my wife to be able to stay at home, play with kids, and not have to worry about where our next meal is coming from. I want to be able to take care of my kids without worrying where the money will come from. I want constant flows of income to grow and grow so that when my son(s) come to me in 20 or so years and need $1000 for something, that will be NOTHING.
Ultimately, over everything, providing for my family is #1. Everything else is pretty much pointless. DONE>
