Why I Became An Entrepreneur

Any good coach or mentor, from one of our Internet Business Coaches, to every mentor and coach I've ever had start at the same place.

Your "Why"

Why do you want to commit your time, money, focus and blood, sweat and tears to being successful online?

Only you know the answer for yourself, but I'll share with you my why.

I grew up on a farm in small town Iowa. And in the 1980's farming was not a good profession to be in and my parents struggled financially.

And I saw what that financial struggle caused… the constant conflict, frustration, stress, arguments and more. It eventually lead to them losing the farm and getting divorced. In fact, research has shown that financial challenges is the #1 cause of divorce.

I also saw my mom having to take a second job working every week night and being away from us kids and my dad.

And I experienced life as a child growing up in that environment. Seeing what it did to my parents and also as a child knowing we couldn't afford the things I saw everybody else around me taking for granted.

Ever since then I knew I never wanted that for myself and the family I would have as an adult. I wanted to provide myself and my family with the financial security and freedom I didn't see around me growing up.

And, somehow, I knew the solution was to take control of my future by having my own business.

I even started my first business when I was 13 years old, selling used golf balls out of the backyard of our farm!

The local community golf course just expanded and several holes ran through the woods behind our house, the perfect opportunity for a motivated entrepreneur. Every night I would walk through the thorn bushes and head high weeds in oppressing heat and humidity to pick up all the golf balls hit into the woods or into the pond they created. Then clean them up, and get them ready to be sold the next day.

I even started outsourcing… by hiring my little brother to be the sales man. He was the cute little kid that wouldn't let anybody go past our stand without asking them to buy golf balls. (I was way too shy to go within 100 yards of the golf stand, so good thing I had my brother to partner with!!)

It was also my first time to "test and track" by tracking which balls were the best sellers so I could price them higher, while also only putting out a limited number of those balls to create scarcity. Not to mention the buy 4 get 1 free special and more.

In total we sold more than $2,000 each summer in used golf balls we got for free with just a little "elbow grease" to go find them.

At one time I even created a plan to collect balls from lakes on other golf courses and turn my little operation into a nationwide used golf ball empire.

Fast forward to today. The one thing that drove me in my early years after college, when I was struggling to figure out this online business stuff, was my unshakable reason why I wanted to be successful.

I was willing to do whatever it took and make any sacrifice I needed to create the success and financial security for myself and the family I wanted to have.

Yeah, being able to buy a really nice car, living in a great house, owning a dream vacation home on the water, getting to travel around the world, wearing fancy clothes and all the other "bling" that success provides is "nice"… but not motivating over the long-term.

Whatever your WHY is will be unique to you.

Mine may resonate with you, especially if you already have a spouse and children.

Or for you it may be your burning desire to fire your boss, leave behind the office hell, and mind-numbing and meaningless job you're stuck in.

Or maybe its allowing your spouse to quit their job and stay home and raise the kids.

Or maybe making enough money to save for your future retirement.

Or to put your kids through college and have the experience and opportunity that was never possible for yourself.

One thing I do know…

In today's economic environment where job security can disappear overnight, your entire lifetime of investments can vanish before you can say bailout, and the only job you may find available despite your excellent resume is asking somebody if "you want fries with that."

It's never been more important to take control of your financial future and security.

If you agree, here's the best recommendation - get a mentor or coach.

There are only two options I can recommend. The first is where I turned to be coached at Strategic Coach (and yes, the very first session was about the "why", where I wanted to be in the future.) However they will only accept you if you are making at least half a million a year in net income. Most likely that is not going to work for you - if it does then go for it.

Your other option…

We have an amazing team of business success coaches who will first work with you to discover that laser focused, burning WHY that will give you the energy and motivation to move mountains to achieve your success.

Here's a secret, something nobody ever mentions, are you listening… if you find yourself not motivated, or procrastinating, or avoiding taking action on your business or not seeing any results… then you either don't have your "why" yet or you are following an effective system to build a business.

When you discover that why inside of you, coupled with a system that let's you achieve your why, you will find yourself always motivated, always excited and always making progress every day because your success now has the highest level of meaning possible to you.

Then, your Nitro Blueprint coach will provide you the guidance, accountability, encouragement, experience, problem solving and creative thinking as you build your online business so your WHY happens faster and with much less frustration than trying to go through your journey isolated and on your own.

And, because you read my story and have the same dedication to your success as I have, I want to do something really special for you.
