Live to work or work to live?

What do you want from your life?

Everybody wants something even if its just to get to know you. Many people will take time others will want money. Sometimes the people who say they don’t want anything are the ones who try to take the most without you even realising. Unfortunately with network marketing or MLM or whatever name they give it the end often seems to be the same you end up paying.

There is a system we use for root casue analysis but it also works when you are not sure whether you should be doing something or not. All you have to do is ask yourself why.

Seems easy but try it on something. For example why am I here? To do my job. Why am I doing this job? to get money? Why do I want the money? To spend?

Why spend money? to live.

Sometimes though you get to a point when you realise the reason you are doing what you are doing is something you can no longer do becasue you don’t have the time.

Heres an example from my life I actually did do this one and changed what I was doing as a result.

I was spending all my spare time on line learning and promoting web sites, as a result I was neglecting my family, my 3 sons.

I was on a training session when they said to ask yourself why 5 times and you will get to the answer. Now 5 is just an arbritrary number and depends really on how detailed you are before you move on.

So I asked myself why am I doing this? To make money to support my children

Why am I doing it this way? Because I can

In asking myself the why questions why online marketing

why this product?

and so on I came to realise that by working hard on line to give myself more time at home with my family that I was actually achieveing the opposite of what I was attempting to achieve.

I wasn’t spending any time at all with my children, every waking moment I was obsessed with social networking and posting to my blog and the result was; nothing, not a penny and all the time I had lost would never come back it was just wasted.

I know how to make money on line but not through network marketing, nor MLM, I don’t like the idea of convincing people to do what I’m doing just so that I can make a commission on what they pay

Instead I have decided to focus on sales, I know it doesn’t suit many people or rather the thought of it doesn’t.  We are all selling the only difference is what we choose to sell.

If you are intereted in how I make money in the UK let me know maybe you can too.

I have made my choice to spend less time making money on line. Not that I’m reducing my income I’m just not doing the tings that don’t make money any more unless I really want to.
