Working to buy a house....
Real fireplace
Flagstone flooring
Aga cooker
Should keep me motivated for a few years
Seriously....targets....
Have targets set for all aspects of my business..
Weekly, monthly, yearly and have just reset my target for 2010.
I watch my numbers like a dis-gruntled tax officer.
Each working day is used to further my ability to increase to growth and profitabilty of my simple one man band empire.
Without keeping stock of the numbers I would not be able to keep perspective on the bigger picture....
Of course some will say that many w/c think about money too much....but money is not the be all and end all...it is just something we need and the little extra...allows choices.
I like to ability to choose.
Another way to keep motivated....I run my round by appointment...(sounds flash that!!)....customer know which day I will be with them...George tells me what to do and I follow blindly.
