What's your BIG picture?

[incomeathomemom]

 The title ask it all in one question.   What legacy would you like to leave for your children? How would you like to be financial set before your children are realize the struggle mama and daddy is having? How would you like to be able to say yes to your children, rather than I don't have enough money?

I want to answer these questions, so you can know this is what I asked myself.  I want to leave a legacy not only that my kids can live off but also my grand kids and their children!!!!!(sound crazy, IT CAN BE DONE)!!!!!!!! I would have love to found something that would have had me financial set before my kids reach the age of understanding everything.  I hated telling my children, Mama don't have enough to buy that hunny. 

One night, I was up till about 4 in the morning thinking.  My husband was laying next to me sleep, my boys were in there room sleep and I was up doing my nightly reading.  I was reading Think and Grow Rich(my favorite Personal Development Book).  I realize, even though combined, our household was bringing in $65,000 a year, we were not financial set. I asked myself why, and the answer to that question was so simple. Yeah we were making 60k to 65k a year but what would we do if one of us lost our job, or one of us passed away.  That would take 30k to 35k away from the house and how would we support our family with that. The next day I talked to my husband about my thoughts and he agreed with me. We sat down and tried to think of some ways we could get financially set.

Honestly, I couldn't think of one way we could do that.  I began to look for work from home(scammed over 5 times).  I began looking to start my own business(wanted thousands and thousands of dollars but couldn't gaurantee I make the money back, nor set my family to financial freedom).  So, I gave up and stuck to Corporate America. I guess it was meant for me to find something, because about a month later as I was walking into Wal-Mart, a man walked up to me(I did not want him to say NOTHING to me and guess what he didn't) he simply handed me a flier and I stuffed it in my purse. About 2 weeks later, my boss ticked me off so bad I went digging for that flier. When I found it, I listen to a overview call and contact the man that gave me the flier. I loved this business from day one but I lost track of my BIG picture.

I wasn't working the business because I wanted to set my family to financial freedom(like I did in the beginning) I was working to get away from my JOB. That was a good WHY to do the business but it wasn't good enough to get me to where I wanted to be.  So it got me into a position where I could walk away from my job. I was happy I could walk away from my job but I couldn't figure out why I wasn't progressing with the company.  I had to realize, I reach the goal I set so its time to set another one. I reached that goal to, so what do that mean. Time for another one, so I had to ask myself, why am I reaching these goals, but yet to set my family to financial freedom? Answer: I wasn't focused on that, I was only focused on reaching short reachable goals. I set my vision to be a multi 6 figure income earner by 2012 and I am on track to reaching that goal. I fired my Corporate America Boss and started working from home full time the summer of 2008. 

The purpose of this journal is for me to inspire moms to look at the big picture rather than looking at the right now. Most moms I talk to on here and bring into business with me from here say they want to work from home so they can be home with their children. That is a awesome WHY but when you come home with them, what's next? Plan your BIG picture and it will give you the determination to work your business and get to where you want to be!!!!!

You want to talk more about setting a big picture, message me, leave a comment, or e-mail me. If you are not looking to work from home or if you already work from home but you want to know more about painting the BIG picture for you and your family, please contact me. If you want to know more about the business I have been doing since 2004, don't hesitate to ask!!!!!!!!!
