WHY focus

My wife works from home all the time. She runs our business from here and has done so, very successfully, for the last 28 or so years. It's provided us a lot of security financially over the years although has also been a lot of effort, on her part. I don't know many people who work harder than my wife Faith.

Being home, working from home, myself these past 7 to 8 weeks has given me the opportunity to see her routine a little more closely over longer periods of time and I've been really impressed with how she operates...She is focused!

I knew she was focused already, however seeing it all come together over weeks...It's pretty impressive.

The thing is, she's not just running our business including the client-contact, taxation reporting, banking and all the other things, but she runs the entire household, is present for her mum who is still having cancer-related medical visits on a regular basis. She looks after our cats, herself with her looks and well-being through yoga and stuff like that and she looks after me!...She's a dynamo.

We talk about it a lot, how we manage to maintain the focus we do, not just with our jobs, but in life generally, and we both believe it's possible because of our...

WHY

Our WHY is our reason.

And if that reason is powerful enough, important enough and compelling enough then all of the actions and attitudes we need to make things happen, focus included, will happen as best it can, with passion, vigour, ownership and responsibility.

We have many reasons, many WHY's, in our life and and an over-arching one as well. I won't go into them here, however they are the reason we do what we do, are able to do so in fact.

I do what I can to make Faith's day easier, in the last couple of months, and always really, just as she does what she can for me. We're a team, a unit. We focus on our WHY and simply get after all of those things required to reach our goals.

I'm curious about what motivates people, more from the aspect of possibly being able to learn from others; Maybe something different I can steal and use comes along you know? So please, if you wish to, let me know below about how you keep focussed, what motivates you to push forward, work hard at a thing, apply effort and the right attitude. Don't worry, your motivational secrets will be safe with me. What's your strategy?
