Tory Johnson challenged us as to the WHY of our business. I was going to make a traditional collage of my “why” but was having all sorts of technical issues so I finally resorted to what I know best which is to do it as a web page. Since Down Home Mom exists to help moms who want or have their own businesses, it is a good fit for the site anyway.
Here are the reasons I have always wanted to start my own business:
No More Sick Freedom
Paycheck Of To
To Survival Give
Paycheck Mode To Others
#1 My 6 Children and My Husband
#2 To Help People In Need (Including Family, Friends, My Church, Orphans, Widows, etc)
From My Church & Through Our Church Benevolence Fund
Orphans Through ImmediateNeeds.org
#3 To Pay it forward in honor of those who have believed in me and invested in me.
My Parents
Motivators & Business Heroes: Deborah Shane & Tory Johnson
Girlfriend (2.0) Cindy W. Morrison
And now I want to relate a short story. My Grandma became suddenly ill back in February. She was told she had about three weeks to live. At the time, I did not have the money to travel from Oklahoma to California and be with her in her final days.
I was able to go to the funeral only because of the compassion of other family members. I really appreciated that they helped me. Really! But, I want to be the one who is always in the position to help others.
As a result, I told myself, “I WILL SUCCEED SO I AM NEVER, EVER IN THIS POSITION AGAIN. I CAN CHANGE THIS, IT IS WITHIN MY GRASP.” And it is.. and I am 
#4 So I can spend time with loved ones who live a distance away.
#5 And last but not least. Life is too short to spend it doing something you hate and something that limits your lifestyle, paycheck and destiny!
