What Is Your Driving Force?

Mr. Wms

What HONESTLY is your drivng force?
1. $MONEY$
2. Love of or for the trade.
3. Freedom to call your own shots.
4. Family
5. None of the above

1 2 3 4 or 5
Choose only one.

All of the above
Mostly the challenge of performing a task that a client is willing to pay someone to do and meeting / exceeding their expectations. Simple.

I love the trade - it makes me money - while I call the shots - so I can spend qaulity time with the family.

Without family none of the rest apply.......

I made a list of reason and it sounded like I was bragging......so I will list only one reason----freedom.

All of the above except 5.

And an addition, to make somewhat of a difference in quality of workmanship. Im sick of seeing shoddy work.

The man was bringing my attitude down, so I guess I'd choose freedom.

I'm not in business because i want to make alot of money. I want to make a impact in peoples lives. I want to give people a good place to work so they can provides a good life for their families. I want to sell and install products that will inrich customers lives.

I really just want to accomplish something great. Money really is not the driving force behind my ambitions.

Mr. Wms

Believe or not mine is presenting 50-75 bids and proposals a year
which took about 190 hours total a not closing a single one.
JUST KIDDING!

It's actually family for me. Whenever they need me I can be there
and that's the most important for me.

5 - none of above

For me it is the challenge of creating something from nothing. To create a business, come into the market and dominate it. The entire process of doing that is what gets me off.

The complex motivations behind a driven contractor goes much deeper than Money, Love, Freedom or Family. Although all these factors play an important role in the continued success of us all, it boils down to a single item, that without it, we could not acquire or even tolerate the rest. I pick number 6, alcohol baby.
