Motivation

What motivates you to push to own your own business or other income generating adventures. For me its just the thought of getting up early in the morning and going to work for people who just believe that you are a number. For most people in cooperate America an employee has a price tag...ex. Michael here brings in about 5,000 a week for this company we pay him 500, his dollar amount is 4500. Most company will never know your face because the look at p/l sheets and you quickly become a number to them. I see it ever day and especially during the financial calls every thursday. My motivation not to be another number!
