You don't know how amazing it feels to actually be in control of your own destiny.
I'm a true believer in the fact that as humans, we have the great opportunity to create our own happiness.
For some people, I understand that this is more difficult than it is for others.
Nevertheless, on Tuesday afternoon of October 22nd, 2012, I realized that I was the reason for my past failures, and I am the reason for my future success.
Today, I want to tell you what motivates me to succeed.
I thought about doing a top 5 or top 10 list, but for this, I wanted to free write.
I feel like this should be from the heart, and that's what I'm doing to make it out to be.
#1.
She Doesn't Even Know It Yet.
If she ever reads this article, then she does.
But her name is Jimmie.
Of course, behind every successful man, there is a woman who he's fighting for, and this same woman who's pushing him to succeed.
She may not know it yet, but she means more to me than she could probably imagine.
Truth is, we're taking things slow, which is totally cool with me.
As I always tell her, she's worth it.
Jimmie is one of the huge reasons I'm up writing at 11:30 at night.
Normally, I would be in bed.
Although she doesn't know it, I want to give both her and her son the best life possible.
They're both a huge reason for my motivation to succeed.
#2.
Living the Lifestyle I want to Live.
This is a pretty generic answer, right? I don't much care about waking up early, nor do I care about going to bed early.
Those things don't bother me.
When I say I want to live the lifestyle I want to live, that just means that I want to be able to go to the movies, play a round of golf, or take my girlfriend, (and son) to the beach without having to worry about money.
Doesn't everyone want this? This is a huge factor that comes to my mind.
Just when I'm about to shut down the computer for the night, I say, "Keep fighting.
For Jimmie.
For her son.
For the lifestyle that you want to have.

Kaanapali Alii.
I've been there once, and it's always going to hold a strong place in my memory.
Truth is, I would really love to go there again.
In fact, mark my words, as I've said it here first.
I'm going to own a condo at the Kaanapali Alii, and nothing is going to stop me from making that come true.
This is a huge motivating factor, because I absolutely love Hawaii.
I met amazing people when I went, and I would love to be able to go to the Kaanapali Alii every summer.
I met this cool dude named, DJ when I last went.
His family was awesome, and I'd also love to see them again.
Another motivation pusher that pushes me to succeed.
#4.
Seeing my Friends and Family.
If I had the time and the money, I would go to Seattle to see my boy, Jules.
I would travel to Florida to see my buddy, Ryan and Alain.
There is so much that I would do if I just had the money and the time to do it.
Money freedom and time freedom will lead you to a happy life.
The ability to see my family and friends on demand would make me one of the happiest guys alive.
#5.
Saying, "I did it!" Finally, the ability to say that you took something from the ground up, and made yourself successful would be an absolutely incredible feeling.
I can picture it now, but I know that it takes time.
I'll get there, and when I do, I'm going to say, "I did it!" Then, I'll probably go shopping, party with friends, and take a nice vacation to the Kaanapali Alii.
When it comes to Internet Marketing, these are the 5 things that motivate me to succeed.
In no particular order, if you were wondering.
I hope that you will also lead a successful life.
If you believe in yourself, have a good plan of action, and take action on that plan, I truly believe that you can turn your dreams into a reality.
