Share Your Goals and Dream to Inspire Others
I want you to get into a playful mode for a few minutes. Forget about all your problems and all the things that are worrying you in your life at the moment. Just let go and play!
As you're reading this post, start to drift off into your imagination for a second and begin to think about all the things you want in your life. What are the reasons you are doing this for? Why are you breaking your back trying to make money online? What will having more money actually give you and what are you ultimately striving for?
How will having more money make you feel?
Will it give you more recognition, respect, happiness, connection, growth, and significance?
Most people think that the reason they are doing what they are doing is to earn more money. They think that by having more money, it will satisfy certain needs and give them certain feelings. Money is definitely a motivator in what we do, but it's not the be all and end all in our lives. Therefore you need to find the feelings that having more money will give you.
Most people's ultimate goal is to be happy and they think having lots of money will make them happy. Unfortunately this is very rarely the case.
You often see people at the top of their game, who have all the money, all the possessions and all the fame they could ever need and are still not happy!
People like Elvis Presley, Britney Spears, footballer players, pop stars and movie stars who, even when they reach the top of their field still can't find the happiness, connection, and significance they strive for. They are always seeking to find pleasures externally rather than internally, and turn to alcohol and drugs which causes their downfall.
For me, contribution and empowering other people makes me happy and because I focus on helping other people achieve their goals and dreams I earn a very good income.
I can then take that income and spend more time doing the things I love rather than having to go to work EVERY DAY.
The things I love are:
- Learning/ Growing
- Empowering and helping others
- Playing the guitar
- Spending time with my friends and family
- Travelling and seeing the world
- Sports – running and martial arts
There are many other things I love to do.
I want you to really think about the things YOU LOVE TO DO. If you had more time and money what would you do? Where would you go? What places would you visit? Who would you help? Why would you do it?
At the bottom of this post I want you to WRITE DOWN the REASONS you are working hard on your MLM and Internet Business. Why are you doing it? What will it give you when you reach your goal?
By taking action and putting this down on paper, it will bring it to your awareness. It will also show other people that you are a REAL PERSON with REAL FEELINGS and not just a stalker who reads blog posts and doesn't contribute.
I honestly believe that if you DONT make it your focus to help other people in this industry, you WILL NOT SUCCEED. Our industry is about empowering people and giving them the tools they need to become successful.

Hi Gavin,
great post as always.
I think the reason I have embarked on this journey is partly for the security of another income source, and partly to push my self to do other things with my life that I othewise would not have contemplated, and get out of my comfort zone trying something completly different.
Of course the byproduct of knowing if you have made it and been successful, is the money,

Travel
Wine tatse.
Ride in a sports car.

Gavin,
This really was a superb post and video.
It is not about the money, it is helping friends and people get what they want.
That is what getting up in the morning is all about!
I love to inspire, motivate, and reach out to people.

I am doing this for a number of reasons I guess. First of all I have helped friends and family to the best of my ability.
Due to illness I had to take an early retirement that I was not at all prepared to do mainly because of finances, but mostly because I have not been in the position to help others as I use too.
Right now I am deeply in dept and I'm more than suffering because of it. I am taking a lot of medication that has been the biggest burden on my having too much of anything to spare.
I don't feel the victim though, we have to take what we are given and be thankful for it.
I thank God every day for the friends and the family that I have and the happiness they still bring into my life.
My goal is to be able to get out of dept and be able to help my friends and family that need a life as much as I do.
Gavin you are an inspiration and I feel rich just listening to you talk.
May God bless you and yours.

Hi Gavin,
First I must say what an amazing young man you are to have the vision that you have.
My WHY for doing this business:
1. as a retiree, I want to have more money at the end of the of the month than bills.
2. after I accomplish that, then I can help my own family, friends, and especially young kids that I work with everyday.
Empowering others is the only way we should feel good about wanting to earn more money than we need.
Thanks for all you do,
rebecca

Wow Gavin! You've got it . So empowering.
OK so here are a few of my reasons for doing what I am doing.
1. To stop sabotaging my success and re-gain my self believe as a baby boomer. To believe that mature people really do have alot of expereince to offer the world.
2. Why do I get up in the morning? Well I am so full of gratitude for what I now have. I live in a beautiful place, have great health, a good brain and so I can get out there and help other people who are not so fortunate or who have no self belief.
3. To see other people succeed as i did when teaching children is the most wonderful feeling. Now I would like to see people taking their first Internet steps and be able to empower them.
You've really stopped me in my tracks which was long overdue.
I could go on but thanks and I hope this may help someone.

Hi Judith,
Great to see you stopping by. I couldn't access your blog as yet, guessing that hostgator still haven't fixed it.
It's great when you read a motivating blog post/ article. It really makes you think, doesn't it?
It happens to me every so often… and really makes me think about why I'm doing what I'm doing.
Speak soon,
Thanks
Gavin

Hello Gavin I've the eleven day course and I find things very interesting already I say this because I've been trying to setup a home base business for quite sometime now and haven't had any luck at it.Over the pass couple of years I've bought just about every program out there on how to make money online and nothing has worked. And now that my job is no longer existing I've got to find away to help support the other half of my household before we lose it.Watching your video's and reading all the information you send me I find you a lot more professional than the rest,first of all I'm brand new at this and all the other guys out there promise to teach you how to build this & that until they get your money and then you can't get anyone to help you do anything so far with you I already know how to start building a list. So I guess what I'm asking is can you teach me how to build a blog and to get a url so that I can get a link to send someone to Please.

Hi there Gavin,
I appreciate the fact that you encourage others to write about what they want out of life. Shows that you care.
I started this journey just a couple of months ago, not knowing what to expect due to my insignificant knowledge of the internet and network marketing in general. Well, I have no words to describe what I have discovered thus far and the world of opportunities that now lies before me…
I probably want most of the things that the majority of people want:
Financial security, freedom to do whatever I want, when I want to, provide my family and friends with the best things in life…and so on…but along with all of that, I now feel the need to help as many people as I possibly can achieve their dreams too. And all of this I got just from realizing the potential of what you teach!
It's amazing how my outlook on my life has changed just from that bit of kowledge (the bit I know so far..)
Anyway…Thank you sooooooooooo much for caring.
Your friend in Vallarta,

Hi Gavin,
In 2006 I retired from teaching. A few years before that I started thinking what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. So I came up with this idea after a long search.
Find a business where I could help others and at the same time enjoy every day the way I wanted too.
I enjoy
1. long walks
2.having a lovely conversation over breakfast, lunch or dinner with team mates or family and friends
3.Reading and discussing books.
4.coaching others to their success level and personal self development
5. listening to different styles of music
6. Traveling world wide
7. Writing
8. Hosting a talk show
9. My own daily self discovery
Gavin,you're such a creative, exceptional, extraordinary Young Man.
Every single time I read your posts or programs, it's amazing how on target you are.
I liked you the moment we met and talked. It was instant friendship and kinship.
You are so correct, when you say working with a team a person gets more done and faster.
I came into Network Marketing in 1992 for an extra $300 a month.
What I like most about this business, is that I'm in business for myself not by myself.
I was hungry to find and work with a team of like minded people.
What I got was Self Discovery and a great chance to help those people who were willing to do what others weren't willing to do, to get what others would never have.
It's no longer about money.
The pure energy that comes when some one lights up to learn they are more than who they think they are. That they can have a goal and obtain it.
That they are more powerful than they ever imagined.
Now that's Success!
To be able to lead people on their road to success.
Nothing beats Success, Nothing ! What a feeling.
Cheers Your Friend

Hey Gavin I have always appreciated your help! Recently I launched my age (14) and a video proof of me making good money online and I started advertisising it and all I had to say is WOW. I use gdi and I recently signed up for gdi premium and I have to say with that program I am bringing in an extra $2k weekly. That's not including the $10k weekly I get from ID. When I started out I had no clue where to start and I found you. You have given me the motivation to continue and follow my dreams… 2 months into it it's like I hit the lotto!
Thanks so much.

Hi Gavin
My reason for doing this is I want to help people with pets who are sick or injured who can't afford to pay there vet bill. I struggle to cope with new people as I been hurt a lot and recently lost my two boys, one of my best friends, the man I loved and also another friend. I now have a terminal disease and because of limited time I have I decided to setup a social network for people with pets in australia. Which will incorporate a lot of thing as well as people can contribute to help others financially with there pets. I eventually will be using my business to also to setup a foundation for these types of people. This is my reason for doing my business.
Take Care
Annette
