​Finding Your Real Why!

 

 

Why Some People Win and Others Quit Has Nothing to Do with Skill,

and Everything to Do with WHY.

“When the ‘why’ is strong enough, the 'how' becomes easy.” Jim Rohn

​

Let’s be honest, most people say they want success, but few are willing to fight for it. Why? Because they don’t have a real reason to fight. 

​​

​So here’s the truth:

Until you discover your real WHY, you’ll always struggle to follow through.
But once you do? You become unstoppable.

You need a WHY that hits your heart, not just your head.  

​

 

 STEP 1: WRITE DOWN THE BASICS

​

Start with the surface stuff, even if it’s small. What do you want right now?

​

• I want to travel more

• I want extra income

• I want to quit my job

• I want to pay off debt

• I want time with my kids

• I want to stop stressing about money

​

STEP 2: DIG DEEPER — 3 LEVELS DOWN

​Take each of your answers and ask this question:

​

“Why is that important to me?”

​

Example:

​

I want extra income.....
➡ Why is that important?
→ Because I’m tired of living paycheck to paycheck
➡ Why is that important?
→ Because I don’t sleep at night knowing one emergency could wreck us
➡ Why is that important?
→ Because I promised myself my kids would never grow up scared like I did

​

 THAT'S YOUR REAL WHY.
The first answer was just a want. The third answer is fuel.

​

 

STEP 3: ADD EMOTION

 

Write it like a mission, not a to-do list.

 

Weak WHY:  “I want to make more money.”
Strong WHY:  “I want to break the cycle of poverty in my family. I want to look my kids in the eyes and know I did something that gave them choices I never had.”

 

Your WHY should make you feel something. It might make you emotional. That’s a good sign. It means you’ve found the TRUTH behind the truth.

 

STEP 4: PICTURE THE COST OF NOT CHANGING​

 

Ask yourself:

• What happens if I don’t take this seriously?

• What will my life look like in 5 years if nothing changes?

• Will my kids live the same stressed life I’m living?

• Will I look back with regret?

Get honest with yourself. This will add urgency and help you stay focused.

​

 STEP 5: WRITE YOUR WHY IN 2 VERSIONS

​

• Short Version (1 sentence you can say daily)

• Long Version (a full paragraph you can read when you need strength)

​

Example — Short Version:
I’m doing this to buy back my freedom and break generational limits.

Example — Long Version:
I’m doing this because I want my children to grow up with security and choices. I’m tired of watching life pass by while I trade hours for dollars. I want to travel, live free, and build something that lets me leave a legacy. This business is the vehicle, and I will do whatever it takes.

​

 STEP 6: SHARE IT WITH YOUR MENTOR

 

Say it out loud. When you speak it, it becomes real. Now someone can help hold you accountable when the excitement fades. If you’re serious, message your mentor with this: “I just finished my WHY. Want to hear it?” 

​

 STEP 7: POST IT WHERE YOU SEE IT DAILY

​

​​

​​

 

 

 

 

Remind yourself WHY you started. Motivation fades. Vision sustains.

​

STEP 8: PROVE YOUR WHY WITH ACTION

 

If your WHY is strong, it should show up in your habits.

​

• Are you on the Zooms?

• Are you practicing the invite so you can say it with POWER, and are you inviting people daily?

• Are you posting content and creating your launch story?

• Are you following through?

​

If not, go back and strengthen your WHY.

​

 RECAP: YOUR 8-STEP PLAN

​

1. Start with surface wants

2. Ask “Why is this important to me?” 3x

3. Add emotion

4. Picture the cost of not changing

5. Write your WHY (short + long)

6. Share it with a mentor

7. Post it everywhere

8. Prove it with action

​

This business will test you. It will stretch you. It will reveal who you are and what you really want, but with the right WHY, you’ll keep going no matter what! Your WHY is your anchor, it’s your power source, and when it’s real enough, you’ll lift the weight. You’ll run through the fire and you’ll build the life you were meant to live.
