This is a true story about how I started my day….
I’ve been a home business owner for over 11 years now. And it’s days like today when I am truly greatful for the fact I’m an entrepreneur. For those who have been to my blog or websites, you may have noticed in my videos I have a pueblo style home. While it’s not unusual here in Corrales, New Mexico, to have a pueblo style home – but this type of home has a flat roof, that can be a handful.
My brain turned on about 5 am that morning and for once, I decided to fight it. The clouds from the storm that blew in the night before had kept the morning unusually dark. I had worked late the night before, so I figured I could take an hour for myself.
I did manage to fight it until I saw daylight begin to peer though the window, and could not stay in bed any longer. After getting up, I made my way toward the kitchen. As I passed through the vestibule, I felt something graze my arm. I looked over my shoulder to see what the pale morning light would reveal, but to my surprise was there was no explanation to what I had felt. So I looked directly up – just in time to be hit by 3 drops of water!
LEAKING ROOF – Film at Eleven!!!
Knowing the coffee was going to have to wait, I did an about face back to the bedroom.
Remember, I did not want to get out of bed, much less climb a ladder in the morning twilight to fix a leaking roof, but I had to. Sure, I could get a bucket and let it leak while waiting for a repair service to come, but I would risk major damage by not handling the situation right then.
Now, you may be thinking, “Matthew, fixing a leaky roof has what to do with my home business?” I want you to think about what I just told you…
I didn’t want to fix my roof, I had to.
How much do you really want to change your life? Imagine what your new life will look like when you have achieved success with your home business. Do you want what you see? Are you willing to work for it?
Just think how much we could accomplish if we channeled that type of focus into your personal and business lives when our backs are not against the wall.
What does this have to do with your home business?
If you WANT TO have a successful business, you HAVE TO do the work. We all have that little distraction thrown at us called life. You will do in life what you want to, but things you really want, your going have to work for.
Yes, it is that simple.
Your Success Is Out There… Go Get It.

P.S. – I’m sure that as my neighbors drove by this morning, some thought “Poor Matthew”. Others may have let out a chuckle “Better Him Then Me”. I just watched as they all started their daily grind. Soaked by the rain, I could not help but smile. In five minutes I would be done. I would be down the ladder, inside having a cup of coffee with my wife…living life on my terms!
Why…Because I want to.
