Ask Yourself Why
1. Why
Why is so important because it is where you should begin before you start doing anything. Why am I going to this school? Why am I starting this business? Why should I go for this trip? Why is a reference point and you can always reflect back when things do not go your way. Your why should be Strong and have some Emotion attached to it. If you have a weak Why do not expect to succeed because when you hit the slightest bump you will quit what you started.
2. Why Not
Why Not is the next question because this is where you define your goals and get a clear picture of what you intent to do. If you have clear goals and time line to accomplish your project then Why Not is easy. If you are not clear on what you want to pursue or how to then Why Not is not possible.
3. Why Not You
This is where the emotional element kicks in Big time. Why Not You simply means that if other people can succeed and accomplish their goals you too can do the same. This requires inner or self reflection to know yourself.
4. Why Not Now
The past is gone and we cannot do anything about it. The future is not promised to anyone. We live in the present and the time to start is now. Do not wait to have all the pieces together to start. If you have the Why, Why Not and Why Not You then it is time to start working on your dreams.
So tell me what are you going to do about your why?

Great post! But don’t get me started on the why. I have to think this one over, I am sure this will make sense once I figure it out the “whys”.
I agree 100 percent! When we finally decide to be successful, and the Internet can help make that happen, then it’s ONLY a matter of “do you believe”, and “what are you willing to give.”
All it take’s is commitment.

Stephanie I’m sure it will all make sense to you one day.
Yes Walter I agree with this. ‘it’s ONLY a matter of “do you believe”, and “what are you willing to give.”
All it take’s is commitment.’
Everyone should have their ‘why’ to push them towards success! Thanks for the valuable information Sandi. Keep it coming:)
GREAT POST SANDI !!! I COULDN’T AGREE WITH YOU MORE !!!
Love this Sandi. So many people just stop at “Why” and never get to the meat and potatoes of it that you’ve laid out so beautifully here. The layers of the Why questions are what make it so powerful; when you truly get to the end of that series of questions (if you’ve been honest) then it’s sort of impossible to crawl back into the shell of ignorance that you may have lived before you started your entrepreneurial journey.
These questions really allow us (if we let them) to pursue our passion authentically.
This is awesome Sandi. Thank you for sharing it!
Cheers,
