Why knowing your “WHY” is important? You must know your “WHY” so you’ll know how to handle the things that come up in life. It can help with questions like:
• Why deal with traffic in the morning?
• Why come in early and work late?
• Why deal with certain clients?
• Why introduce your business to people on a daily basis?
• Why work and plan over the weekend?
My personal mission statement is You must be absolutely clear about your goal and be relentless in your pursuit of your WHY and reading your WHY card for the first seven minutes upon rising is the secret to cementing your WHY into your heart. In turn, this will direct your actions as you progress through your day. You will begin to see yourself handling some of your challenges a little differently because you know WHY. You will not be afraid to deal with the challenges as you proceed toward your WHY. An example of a WHY card is:
I will deal with all the challenges of today because my WHY is to spend more time with my family, provide for my children’s education, have the finances needed to take regular family vacations, and be a mentor to my kids. I will be able to donate a percentage of my earnings to my church or favorite non-profit organization. I will be a successful entrepreneur and build an ethical, profitable business for me and my family.
I challenge you to re-evaluate where you are today and where you wish to be 5 years from now. Then, decide to take action and write a personal WHY card that you will read daily. Write the vision and make it plain on tablets that he may run who reads it. The vision is yet for an appointed time but in the end, it will not lie.
Would you accept the challenge and write a WHY card?
This step will totally empower your life.
