It\u2019s your reason (or reasons) for doing what you\u2019re doing. It comes from your heart and soul, not your head. And it has to be big\u2014big enough to keep you motivated, bigger than every excuse or fear you could possibly think of.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you\u2019re not sure what your <em>why<\/em> is, notice what makes you feel energized. After all, <b>if you\u2019re not excited about what you\u2019re doing, how on earth do you think you\u2019ll ever be able to stay motivated?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Lots of people have trouble identifying their <em>why<\/em>, so if you do, too, remember you\u2019re not alone! To make it easier, I\u2019m going to ask you some questions in two simple steps that will help you figure it out. To get ready, please take out some sticky notes or a piece of paper and a pen. You\u2019re going to write down your answers to the questions below&#8230; This is an important step that\u2019ll help you immensely, so make sure to do it!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Ready? Let\u2019s go!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Step 1 \u2014 Articulate Your <i>&#8216;Why&#8217;<\/i><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>First, I want you to write down your personal reason (or reasons) for doing what you\u2019re doing (in terms of your career or business).<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Does it bring in a substantial income? Does it make you feel good? Is it your way of living your life\u2019s purpose? Write down all answers that come to mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">(Quick side note here: Even if your biggest motivation is to help others, <b>you can\u2019t forget about yourself.<\/b> Just like everyone else, you deserve to be successful and live a happy and fulfilling life!)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Okay, did you write down at least one answer? If so, great job! You\u2019ve figured out the first <em>why<\/em>\u2014your personal <em>why<\/em>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Now, let\u2019s move on to your second <em>why<\/em>: your reason for helping others. What problem are you solving for them? Why do you want to solve it? Write this down on another sticky note or sheet of paper. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">And GO&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">All done? Good for you!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Now I want you to put all your <em>whys<\/em> somewhere that\u2019s easy to see. We\u2019ll come back to them, but for now, let\u2019s move on to the next step&#8230; articulating your <em>why nots.\u00a0<\/em><\/span><span class=\"s1\">Read on for the next step&#8230; <\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5112\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5112\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5112\" src=\"https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2018\/07\/writing-in-journal-with-coffee-300x225.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2018\/07\/writing-in-journal-with-coffee-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2018\/07\/writing-in-journal-with-coffee-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2018\/07\/writing-in-journal-with-coffee-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2018\/07\/writing-in-journal-with-coffee.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5112\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Write down your personal reason (or reasons) for doing what you\u2019re doing (in terms of your career or business).<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Step 2 \u2014 Articulate Your <i>&#8216;Why Nots&#8217;<\/i><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Secondly, write down why your NOT already doing what you want to be doing in your career or business.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But before you write them down, let me first explain what a &#8220;why not&#8221; is. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A &#8220;why not&#8221; is the reason (or reasons) you\u2019re <i>not<\/i> getting what you want. It comes from your mind rather than your heart. Normally in a form of fear. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For example, you are procrastinating on a project because you have doubts about the research you have done. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Or you aren\u2019t working out to get fit because you feel like you don\u2019t have the time to do it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Now, obviously you have your reasons for why you want a successful professional life, such as providing for your family or making a difference in the world. However, if you\u2019re not as successful as you\u2019d like to be, you most likely have some<em> why nots<\/em> standing in your way.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5242\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5242\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5242\" src=\"https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2018\/04\/writing-in-notepad-300x225.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2018\/04\/writing-in-notepad-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2018\/04\/writing-in-notepad-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2018\/04\/writing-in-notepad-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2018\/04\/writing-in-notepad.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5242\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Write down your &#8220;Why Nots.&#8221; A &#8220;why not&#8221; is the reason (or reasons) you\u2019re not getting what you want.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So how do you stop yourself from getting derailed by <em>why nots<\/em>? <\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>One way is to go back to your <em>whys<\/em>.<\/strong> This is the reason it\u2019s so important to write down your <em>whys<\/em> and put them somewhere easy to see. The constant reminder will keep you on track, plus you\u2019ll have NO excuse for ignoring them!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">On a related note, do you remember how I said at the beginning that your <em>why<\/em> needs to be bigger and stronger than your <em>why not<\/em>? This is really crucial. A bigger <em>why<\/em> will make those <em>why nots<\/em> much easier to ignore&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For example, if your <em>why<\/em> is \u201cfinancial freedom,\u201d it\u2019s easy to understand that your time is much better spent supporting that goal rather than mindlessly scrolling through Facebook. A quick glance at your <em>whys<\/em>, and redirecting yourself will be almost effortless!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Another tip for dealing with the <em>why nots:<\/em> understanding what\u2019s behind them.<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Most of the time, like I mentioned above, they come from a place of <strong>fear<\/strong>. Maybe you\u2019re scared your idea isn\u2019t good enough, you\u2019ll be rejected, or you\u2019ll fail big time (all common fears).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you\u2019ve followed my work at all, you know these are thoughts coming from your fear-based mind, which is just doing its job and <i>trying<\/i> to protect you. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Also be aware that your<b> thoughts create your reality<\/b>, and these fear-based thoughts are trying to keep you in your comfort zone. Just realize that it\u2019s ultimately your choice whether to believe these stories or not. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>YOU \u2014 not your mind \u2014 are in charge of your life, so you have the power to choose what you want to believe.<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So now it\u2019s your turn!

Share with our community in the comments below so you can inspire others!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Your <em>whys<\/em> and <em>why nots<\/em> are two critical steps to closing the gap from where you are now to where you want to be&#8230;<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But these aren\u2019t the only steps you need to take to achieve what you want in your life. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">After years of testing different processes and systems, I finally formulated one step-by-step system that has not only worked for me to achieve every single goal and dream but has also worked for thousands of my students from around the world. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>I teach the full process in my free <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harvekeronline.com\/ulm\/invite\/vb\/green\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201c<i>Ultimate Life Makeover&#8221;<\/i><\/a>\u00a0class, which will help you not only achieve more, but it will show you how to get unstuck and create momentum towards getting everything you want in your life including more happiness, more success, more fulfillment and more life balance.<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I\u2019d love if you would join me as my guest&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.harvekeronline.com\/ulm\/invite\/vb\/green\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Just click here<\/a> and select a FREE class date and time that works best for you and your schedule!
