Get motivated and find your "He" factor

When you’re creating your “vision board” or your “wish wall” or whatever name you’ve given your particular visual motivator, what are you really thinking about? What things do you evoke in your mind to really motivate you in the depths of your soul?

I’d bet next week’s paycheck, (oh that’s right, I don’t work for anyone else), ninety percent of people, including you, use tangible objects most of the time. Perhaps personal cars, personal mansions, personal wealth can be used.

The things that motivate one person can be so markedly different from another’s that it really boggles the mind. And these two individuals may be of the same race, age group, religious background, gender, neighborhood, or possibly even the same blood family.

Our motivators really are defined by our life experiences, don’t you think? Give that some deep thought. Rarely are they personal motivations about things we can touch, feel, or ride. You will realize most of the time, motivators are much more personal than that.

I remember that many years ago, I was still married to my first wife, and my youngest son was not yet born. We actually lived in an apartment at the time and my first son was 5 or 6 years old, and he was very impressionable like all children at that age, especially a son who watches daddy’s every move.

Now, I had been smoking since I was 15 years old, a terrible habit and addiction I picked up from friends to keep me calm and fit into the day. I had terrible allergy problems and stomach problems since I was about 12 years old. Of course, the nicotine only exacerbated those problems, but I continued with the addiction nonetheless.

Of course my wife was a smoker too, because rarely do non-smokers and smokers get married for life, it’s just not the norm or practice for that matter. We certainly weren’t wealthy at the time, so we struggled like many other young couples to do the math, but that didn’t stop us either.

We had always wanted to quit smoking. We really hated it… the expense, the rotten smell of our clothes, our hair, our breath, our cars, not to mention slowly killing each other. We had tried and tried and tried to quit this nasty habit or addiction as it is really known.

We had even quit smoking once in a little over 2 years, but one night out with friends, we had a beer and said “hey we’re over this addiction, surely we can just have one or two while we’re out and about”. fun.” That my friend is a powerful addiction…we started over the next day.

Our quest to get this hideous monster off our backs had spanned so many years and so many failed attempts, it was just sickening. At one point, I remember wrestling with my conscience and thinking, “David, how weak are you, man?” “Can’t you find a way to stop”? “This is killing you and it will kill your family very soon!”

Those matches I had with my third person didn’t work either, trying to shame me into giving up… please! I had tried the doctor who prescribed the nicotine gums, the patches, even the subliminal cassette tapes. And for those of you who don’t know what a cassette tape is, stop reading this article immediately, it’s for mature audiences only.

Seriously folks, if it was available, my wife and I had tried it, but to no avail. It was literally killing us. I even had a special lung test that measured lung capacity and capacity and I already had 15% that I could never get back even if I had quit the day I found out.

And then it happened. That moment. That “it” I talk about in my writings. Now we had the sense to start smoking outside after having my son. And one night, he was smoking outside in the stairwell, and my Son was looking for me, I could hear my wife inside tell him that I was outside smoking a cigarette and then he ran up the steps, Daddy, Daddy…

I said “yeah son what do you need buddy”? And I will never forget that look and what she said. You know what people talk about when they have an epiphany? Well, that’s what it was, no doubt. This certainly wasn’t what I originally wanted to ask myself, but at that age attention can go from one thing to another very quickly.

He said, “Dad, when I grow up and I’m 18 and smoking, blah blah blah blah blah. Now of course he didn’t say blah, but it’s been so long I can’t remember the context of what he said and it doesn’t really matter.

You see, that day, I found the “it” for myself in terms of giving up this nasty addiction of my own. The “it” that would prevent me from smoking a cigarette in my life again. Although I was never able to quit smoking for myself or my own health, I certainly could to save my Son’s health. He already imagined himself a smoker and I was not going to contribute more to that.

If he had continued, he would have been a smoker well into his adult life and that was something he was not willing to burden him or his future health with. He knew that life is hard enough without me healing his young life that way; therefore, I never touched another cigarette in my life.

Your network marketing or MLM business should be no different. You absolutely have to have an “it” moment, otherwise you will most likely find a reason not to continue in business like 97% of people who come in do, especially if you are currently working that other JOB that can. do not stay!

You literally have to be committed and motivated enough to crawl through broken glass to get to Your Success… that “It” for you!
