Have you ever heard the old adage that unless you know the “why” for doing a business of your own, then you probably won’t do the “how?”
In other words, when you are clear on the “why”, the “how” becomes clear; and you will be much more compelled to take the action steps needed to be a success.
But how many of us really have taken the time to do some goal setting and write down that why?
Most likely, one of the first “homework assignments” you received in your “48 hour” training was to write down your goals, right? Did you do it?
Here are some stats, where do you fall?
It’s been researched and determined that only 3% of all people write down their goals and this 3% is more successful than those who don’t. You might be aware of the study done on a Harvard University class which found that only 3% of that class had written down their goals for the future. Twenty years later that 3% controlled over 97% of the entire wealth earned by the surviving members of that class!
So, if you understand that this is an important step to your success, why haven’t you done it?
Have you been too focused on the “how” first? Without the “why” being crystal clear, success with the rest will allude you. Here is some insight into developing your why –

Jackie, thanks for the wonderful post. I agree that establishing your “Why” is crucial to your success in network marketing and any business. My “Why” has three parts: (1) I want to be able to have my children attend any college of their choice regardless of cost(2)I want to be able to provide my mother and in-laws with a monthly income that gurantees their comfort and (3) I want to have the money and time freedom that allows me to travel whenever I want to wherever I want.

Great article and video Jackie – I have to agree with you 100%…
In all the years I have known you I didn’t realize our why was so much alike…ha
I do have to say that for me personally keeping that WHY on my dream board right behind my computer where I see it daily pushes me to take those daily actions steps even when I am not in the mood. It helps me to realize that I am working for something so important and gives me the motivation to keep going…Like you said with network marketing it is up to US to continue!
Knowing your WHY is the one of the KEYS to success!
Thanks again –
