Let me ask you something personal….
Why are you doing this?
Why do you want to make money…
Have your own business….
And be an entrepreneur?
Do you want more money, a side or second income?
Do you know most people are one medical emergency away from complete financial disaster?
Research shows the majority of Americans don't have $1,000 in their bank account. That's terrifying, and a great reason to start a business…..get out debt…..and build some cash reserves.
Or maybe it's more than money for you?
Maybe you feel like you're spending too much time away from your family missing the best years of your kids lives?
Or maybe your marriage or relationship is suffering because of bills stacking up, or you're growing apart because you don't see each other enough because you're always working?
Or maybe you're nearing retirement and fear you just don't have enough saved?
If any of those are true for you, the only thing I'd say is…
Don't be in denial like most people and wait until it's too late.
Don't wait until you or a family member has that medical emergency….
Don't wait until your kids tell you they miss you, or start misbehaving and there's no way to turn back time….
Don't wait until your spouse says "I can't do this anymore"....
Don't wait until you're too elderly to work and you're forced to live a quality of life way below what you ever imagined.
I asked myself these same questions many years ago when I started my online business at the exact same place you are right now.
Was I doing it for the money? The big houses and the fancy cars? Or so I could travel all over the world and live like a rockstar?
When I dug deep I started to think back on my life. I thought about being homeless in my mid-twenties... struggling with a crippling addiction that was going to kill me if I didn't get help... and crawling up on my dad's doorstep asking him to help me save my life.
I thought about him letting me sleep on his couch and taking me to construction jobs with him, paying me out of his own pocket.
I thought about sitting up for hours at night on his old desktop computer after we got home from the job site looking for ways to make money online.
My Mom, my Wife… there's been several people who've helped me along the way that I'd love to give back to and make their life better in some way... if I could.
Once I knew WHY I wanted to become successful…
I then made the decision to become successful….
And I made a commitment I was not going to stop until I did it.
Guess what? I did do it….
And one day after overhearing my dad mention he wished he didn't have to drive around his old rust bucket truck anymore, I surprised him with the gift of a brand new truck…
You can watch the clip of me surprising him in this video
Then… someone who didn't have car insurance crashed into my Moms car and put her in a financially difficult place, so one day I took her to the car lot and relieved her of that burden by putting her in a brand new car.
I put a picture of the car in this video
Now, I don't know what motivates you, and what's going to push you when times get hard.
When you run into challenges and start to question whether this "having your own business thing" is really worth it.
Because I'm here to tell you it will test you.
It will show you what you're made of.
It will be a challenge.
Because if you want to be successful in business you're going to have to face those challenges.
But now, you don't have to face them alone.
Watch this video and while it's playing really think about WHY you're doing this.
It's your time,
Dave Sharpe
