Greetings Blog Family,
I wanted to talk to you about your Why. The reasons you are pursuing your goals and dreams like you are. The reasons you are willing to take on all of the challenges and roadblocks that come with pursing your dreams.
Is this something that you have thought about? If not, maybe you should consider. The “why” has been a powerful motivator of people for a long time. It is our desires, our goals, our dreams, how we envision life as should be. It is what we are willing to work day and night for.
This line of thinking came to me as I was watching the Manny Pacquiao and Oscar De La Hoya fight last week. Manny dominated the favorite De La Bumya as I like to call him. It was obvious to me after the first 3 rounds that it was only a matter of time before Manny stopped him.
The 9th round was it. Oscar did not come out of the corner after the 9th round. He did not go down in the fight, but he was a beat man. It was only a matter of time before he got really embarrassed, knocked down, and out.
So, in order to preserve Oscars’ legacy, they decided to stay in the corner for the 9th round. That was the best decision because at that rate, he could have seriously gotten hurt. But they didn’t want Oscar to have to give up his legacy of never being knocked down and out in a fight, but that was in serious jeopardy.
Anyway, watch the video to discover why I think Manny Pacquiao destroyed Oscar De La Bumya. It is this reason that you must develop inside of you to maximize your potential. Will you?
I love the Video! a persons “why” is really the only thing that separates a winner from the rest of masses. Great Champions, like Phelps, Woods, Jordan… Pacquiao, I mean these people would not be where they are if it was not for their strong “why”. Thanks for the video man!

Yo Freddie!
I’m not gonna lie man, I called that fight too on my facebook page. Pacquiao nailed it!
But yeah man, great content and honestly this is something I have been thinking a lot about lately “the Why” You should always know what you want to get out of something before you step into the ring, so to speak.

Great video man, keep that up !
It’s very important to know your own “why” and make sure it’s something your passionate about. Personally, my reason to work non-stop is to better my own life, so I can grow as a person, but also spiritually.
You’re “why” is great too, a lot of love goes into your work when you’re doing it for your family. I’m always thankful for the opportunities that come up in work, and take it on whole heartedly.
With the unique opportunities that arise from the Internet, we must remember we all evolve when we help each other get to where we want to be.

@ Wynter – Well said. There are some unique opportunities in the Wild Wild West of the Internet. Everyday is something different and helping people get where they want to go is great. A win win for all parties involved.
Your why of a better life for yourself is a good one especially when it is goes beyond monetary and into spiritually and personally.
Good stuff and thanks for the comment.
Hey Freddie, definitely one of your best video so far! My personal “why”, what drives me is simply that I want to go full time by the time I finish school in about a year. Simple as that, but it motivates me enough to sleep 4 hours per night! hehe
Ben Tremblays last blog post..The business mindset
@ Ben – That is definitely a great goal. Whatever works for you! And if that is what got you going enough to only sleep 4 hours a night, then you seem to be motivated my friend. I know you got the “chops” to make this happen. (Can you tell who I have been watching? LOL)
Nah, can’t tell who you’ve been watching…But I know you are going to KILLLLLL IT and CRUSSSHHH IT my friend!
