Remember why!

Knowing why you started your home business is essential in getting started, but remembering why you started your home business is the key to staying motivated.  Sometimes our businesses don’t grow as fast as we thought they would, and we can get discouraged and want to give up.  When we feel like quitting, we have to remember why we started down this road in the first place. 

I started with Ignite with the goal of building my business to the point where I can live off its income, so that I can focus on my real passion, my Biblical counseling ministry.  I want to be able to offer my counseling services for free.  The only way I will be able to do that is to generate an income elsewhere.  My grand vision is to generate enough income to be able to support other Biblical ministry and missionaries by teaching them to build their own Ignite business as well as donating funds to solid ministries. 

When I get tired or discouraged, I review my why, pray, and get refocused on Jesus building Ignite through me.  I get excited when I think of what God can do for me with Ignite, and then what He can do through me with the excess funds He provides me.  I don’t want to accumulate lots of stuff; I want to send as much ahead as possible by reinvesting it into building the Kingdom of God.  I don’t mean to sound super spiritual; I just get excited about being able to give big to Jesus. 

So, what is your why?  Don’t compare it to mine; that’s not my point.  You have to know why you started your business, and you have to remember it every day.  Your why is what will direct your business goals and strategies.  If you haven’t already, sit down and write out your why, and then post it where you will see it.  Never lose sight of your WHY!
