I have a question for you.
And to be fair, I’ll answer it for you first.
Why do you want to work an online business?
What made you search initially and ultimately get started?
My reasons might seem a bit foolish, girly, a bit lazy even.
Doesn’t matter – because my ‘why’ drives me to do bigger and better things with each new day.
You want to read my foolish why?
Only if you promise to leave me yours in the comments. Promise?
Ok, here goes:
Why does Melanie Milletics work to build a large and growing list of subscribers who may, or may not join her home based business???
My motivation?
Family, Food, Fun. In that order.
I build a list of people who are either currently in a home based business or looking to start one because it pays very well and I have lots of time with my Family to eat excellent food and have a ton of fun!
I wake up when my kids burst into our room in the morning. Never an alarm clock.
I feed their little bellies the best organic, wholesome foods that I can provide.
I DANCE 3 times a week. Wild crazy latin/african dance class called Zumba (not your average Zumba, I assure you).
I see my children off to school and walk in the sun to pick them up.
I make a wholesome sit down dinner – every night.
I sleep when I want… We travel ALOT – my kids have seen more of the world than most.
I work with awesome entrepreneurs from all over the world and make excellent money.
I am so very thankful for this lifestyle!
One day I will have a full estate with sprawling ‘forest gardens’.
My children will do exactly what they are destined to do as they will have true wealth behind their ambitions.
Generating my LIST has been the single most important factor that allows me to live life on my terms.
If it wasn’t for my list, I’d still be a high school science teacher…yuck! (no offence to those of you who LOVE teaching!)
Pretty simple huh? I’ll bet your goals are much bigger. You probably have some great aspirations to give a ton of money to charity, or buy that Porsche. Good for you! Tell me WHY you set out to earn in your Home Based Business.

Hi, Melanie…
Read your email and would be glad to share with you my “reason” for building an online business. Great question.
All the best to you and those you love,
Lee
–My Network Marketing Business Personal Mission Statement–
I want to achieve financial wellness
for the purupose of freeing my wife and I to:
Live the way God wants us to live.
Serve those He wants us to serve.
Give how He wants us to give.
And enjoy life as mch as possible under the direction of his
gracious and tender care.
I like to be in control of my day. I work a lot, but can stop at anytime to do other things. I get a great deal of satisfaction from teaching people something new that could positively impact their lives. Money may not buy happiness, but it sure does buy a lot of freedom. Freedom buys tons of happiness. So, I guess my why is freedom from having a rigid schedule and being able to help people.
Melanie,
Why internet marketing?
My friends and family ask me that all the time!
I want to control my day, and my financial destiny. Freedom comes from “doing your own thing” and I know I won’t be happy working for someone else anymore.
I also love the idea of getting over fears and negativity, and teaching others to do the same.
Thanks for the continuing motivation. You DO make a difference out here!
Why internet Marketing?
Because I want to be in control my life.
Stop living pay cheque to pay cheque.
Be able to travel the world.
Help those less fortunate.
Be financially free.
The internet is the one of the most powerful tools in the world. Master internet sales and marekting, and gain every possible profitable opportunity out there.
A 24 hour 7 day a week cash flow machine. get that right! flow that cash into bigger and better businesses. amass that wealth. the comfortable unknown wealthy!
Hi Mel, Harold Hernandez here.
Why do I want to work an online business?
What made you search initially and ultimately get started?
My reasons span over a lifetime and I will do my best to capsulate them here. I don’t want to bore you (or anyone else for that matter) with a long drawn out life story. I mean EVERYONE has a story….
Why does Harold Hernandez want to build a large and growing list of friends who may, or may not join his home based business???
The answer is simple really…
I grew up relatively poor in the South Bay area of California, never tasting a steak until I was 19 years old.
I watched many of my neighbors die due to drug addiction or gang violence. Many others would go on to live their lives in prison.
I experienced firsthand the pains of not having any food in the house and trying to study in school on an empty stomach.
I saw many, many children have it much worse than I did. Parents addicted to drugs and regular beatings of their children. I will never forget these things.
I made a decision to never be poor and to get my hinny out of there ASAP. I left home at 13 years of age and never looked back.
I developed an insane work ethic. I have never worked a “normal” work week and am not sure what “normal” actually is.
I am so very thankful for my childhood and the lessons I learned!
Internet marketing and list building allow me to continue to work any and all hours I choose. It has allowed me to make friends all over the world, while pursuing my ultimate dream: to have more time with my family while driving a BMW. I know this sounds like a paradox but hear me out;
There Is A Big Difference Between Working For Yourself And Working For Someone Else.
It can be summed up in one word – FREEDOM. The freedom to live my dreams….
I want to be able to help others achieve their dreams in the face of all adversity. I want to spend time with my grandson; I really missed my children’s lives while working all the time. I want to spend as much time as I can with my wife whether working or pleasure. I have spent a lifetime away from her while working for someone else.
I Am The Most Blessed Man on Earth, to Have such a Wonderful Wife, and The Love and Respect of My Children!
Internet marketing has allowed me to live life on life’s terms, along with the freedom to have choices.
Timing…..if wew’re not effecting change ………….we’ll be the result of change.
See you soon!

Everybody’s reason is different and we need to listen for a person’s reason for joining mlm and building their list. Motivation works best if it comes from within not without.
And my reason? My hope is that people will be more healthy and wealthy by using products that I am proud to promote. Helping others in that way will help me to achieve my desire of travel and helping my family and others through my wealth.
This couldn’t have come at a better time! I have been considering my career options closely and I know this is what I want to do. The fact that I am in a short holding pattern just cements my belief that this is the opportunity I’ve been waiting for.
My motivation is simple;
Live a healthy, wholesome life, teach my children to not sweat the small stuff and inspire others to live similarly. (I’d also like to learn to spell better but spell check is making that really hard
Wrapped up in my goal is the need to fill my philanthropic mania and teach kids that they have the amazingly unique and exciting task to save this earth. They get to clean up the mess and they will effect change more than any other generation since the industrial revolution.
I love MM and the inspiration that oozes out of her and aspire to inspire much the way that she does!
Onward!
Jacquie
Melanie,
1.Family leads my list of reasons, though I refer to my mom and sisters when I say that as I am single. I want to be in a better position to help my mother first of all. I’d also like to be able to help my siblings if they should ever need it.
2. Time and financial freedom. I want to be able to do what I want when I want with whomever I want to do it with. Tied to this is my desire for freedom from a day job so I can focus totally on acting (my true first love).
3. More travel.
4. To prepare for my senior years financially.
I can think of more, but these head the list.

My Why -
For my Family
For Financial Future
Life is short so live life with full intentions.
Melanie – Thank you for sharing, here are my goals in short:
To provide for my family.
To use my talents and abilities to help others.
To bring a group of people to a place of financial independence.
Zig Ziglar said it best:
“If you just help enough other people get what they want, you will always get what you want”
It’s going to be FUN!
Here is only part of my why – posted on facebook:
Jeffrey Heinichen: There is nothing better than having all 7 children home at one time, one home from Cambodia, one coming from LA, one coming from Boston, one taking time off from moving to Miami University for Senior year, and one taking time off from High School soccer, plus the two little ones at home. Wow, that is a lot of children. Yea Heinichen kids.
Hi Melanie,
Thanks for the “jolt.”
My why is to achieve financial freedom, allowing me to replenish one retirement fund and replace another enabling me to purchase what I need and want, to donate to charities, and to assist others in the process. Helping others to help themselves to achieve their needs and wants is my optimal mission.
May God continued to bless you with much peace and prosperity.
Andra
Hey Melanie! My ‘why’ is very much the same. I’m doing this for my family….so that we can enjoy our lives and have wonderful opportunities.
I love what Lee Wise posted above!!
Thanks for all you do!

Q…Tell me WHY you set out to earn in your Home Based Business…
My wife and I want to help more people in what we do here as full time missionaries in the country of Japan…Money is a great tool and working online can give you that increase, freedom and time to do more, help more, give more or do just about anything that you feel you need to do.
Take Care
