What Inspires You To Be Home Business Owner?
Many Dream Of Having A Successful Home Business, Few DO!
Looking back 12 years I was working night shift on a forklift for Nestle. Shortly after starting with Nestle I had stumbled into a Home business opportunity with a website hosting company. I stumbled upon the opportunity in my off time while enjoying my new computer and the internet.
I worked this hosting reseller program and followed the example of the top reseller and copied what he did and ended up on the first page of the search engines for some key terms. Within 6 months I had matched what I was making at Nestle and had started leasing my own servers thereby leaving the reseller part behind and cutting out the middle man.
I had 5 to 10 people signing up per day and, being very excited by this, I had shared my success with many of my co-workers on my night shift job. One guy I told said, ” Man You are living my dream”. I told him no, I am living my dream. YOU have to live your own!
I had more than just one “WHY”. I worked night shift with mandatory overtime on Saturdays. I lived in a single wide trailer with my wonderful wife, 2 kids and a large black Labrador. Every birthday and Christmas the house got smaller with clutter. Just short of 1 year with Nestle I retired to run the Hosting Business full time. we bought a nice 3 bedroom colonial with a large yard. Life was good.

Now 12 years later my WHY is Back! I lost probably half of my clients over the last 2 years due in part to the economy with many just shutting down their website or flat out going out of business. Some I lost to extremely low cost competitors and because of my overhead I could not afford to lower prices to compete. I still have a solid client base that is very loyal because of the personal service I provide but I am back on a Night shift Job in a warehouse!
My wife had been laid off from her job of 21 years and now the Hosting business income just wasn’t enough. At 47 years old now Night shift is worse than I remembered it! I feel blessed however, that I have found a very refreshing Network Marketing company with a unique product and teamwork that is unlike any I have ever experienced in other ventures into the network marketing I had made.
I again see light at the end of the tunnel and will be retired again by age 50. This time for good!
Everyone I work with at the warehouse is miserable. Yet very few will ever do anything to change their life and break free of the Employee attitude they were raised to believe was the only way! Four of the 5 people in my department are on medication for depression! I can not and will not sentence myself to this fate. In my mind my destiny is clear and will be fulfilled!

Man Tim you are an awesome writer! That was great once again! I love the quote, “I’m living my dream. YOU have to live your own.” So simple but so impactful. People are quick to say you are doing well but I think are scared to become successful themselves. One again my friend, great read!

Thanks for the nice comment Dionyos, and yes you are correct although probably they are scared they will fail. To much brainwashing while growing up has them believing they can’t succeed on their own!
Hello Tim, What an inspiring story. Your why is essential to your success and only you can live your dream. Thanks, Andrew Gallop

Thank you Andrew for the thoughtful comment!
Tim, thank you for sharing your heart and soul with us. It is so true. People are afraid to believe in their dreams.
My why is my 84 year old mother who loves her 5th wheel camper more than senior housing. My job is retire early and take her out in the boat… in the bay.
Thank You Laura for sharing your why. I have faith that you will succeed!
Tim, that was a killer post. It was real and from the heart, and makes a phenomenal point: We have to have a “WHY,” without it people will quit on the first hard day.
My “Why” would take pages to recount, but I’ll sum it up with 2 words: Konan and Rhythm. Those are my kids, and if giving the best for your family isn’t enough of a why, I don’t know what the Hell is. Rip it up Tim!

Tim, congrats on making things happen for yourself. I am currently in the same boat. Warehouse work which is touchy. If you breathe in the wrong direction you’re history. I have a freebie website for computer repair but hardly ever any customers. That and SEO and social networking are about the only skills I have that can make me any money but have failed to thus far. I am now out of work and I would love to run my own business of some kind. Please give me some advice. I don’t know how I’m gonna make the bills and I have mouths to feed.
Hello Tom,
At the time you replied I did not have an answer for you that was easily duplicatible. Empower Network is currently helping people from all walks of life make money. People who have never been able to make a dime online have started making money. If you have not already heard about it and joined, I suggest you do. Just 25 bucks to get started and the first person you refer breaks you even.
