Why!

I work for a company called ZAXBY'S (www.zaxbys.com). I started working there several years ago because I needed a job and they were one of the first ones to call me back when I was looking for work. At first, it was just a job, and I didn't plan on staying there long. I ended up staying there for almost four years, and during that time, I went back to school and earned an associate's degree. I tried a couple of other jobs, but ended up back at Zaxby's again. I have decided to stay there now and work my way up through the ranks to management. I have been back there for almost a year now, and I am doing well there. I don't know how long it will be before I become a manager, but I am being considered for a team-leader position. I know the job, and I do most of the things involved in it anyway, so it really wouldn't be a big change for me. It would just mean a little more money and a little bit of authority to handle problems when I needed to.

I have a few things that I want to accomplish in life. I want to pay off my house, and there is a truck that I want. I want a Ford F-250 crew cab. I also want to get my own business going so that I don't have to fully rely on someone else for my income. As long as you can manage the risks, there is a lot more money in working for yourself. I want to get into the real estate market, not as an agent, but as a property owner/developer. I want to own rental properties and flip houses. I also want to help other people do the same thing. Part of my company would be dedicated to providing hauling and construction services for other people wanting to do real estate, and to helping them achieve their goals while I achieve mine. I already do odd jobs on the side, such as lawn care, window cleaning, and hauling, so I guess I am sort-of on my way...

I guess the thing that is driving me to achieve the things I want is that I know what it is like to be broke. I filed bankruptcy shortly after I started working at Zaxby's the first time. I was at the bottom of the barrel for sure, and I don't want to end up there again. I have worked my way up again, and managed to buy a small house that I really like a few years ago. Unfortunately, a few bad decisions set me back, and I have to start off near the bottom again, but I should be able to work my way back out to a little better situation within the next year if all goes well. I guess it will all work out one way or the other.

Everything I do I do out of love. If it's not fun I don't waste my time with it.

Why???

Great post. The reason why I do the things that I do is because first of all I like to have nice things in life. I like to be able to enjoy life to the fullest and I know that I can't do that if I just sit around and wait on somebody else to hand things over to me. So I must handle my own bizness. Also I want to be a good example of what a honest hardworking person can accomplish for my children. If they see me up doing and going and being then most likely they will have a desire to get up and do some things. I learned about this from my parents and they learned it from their parents and I guess the cycle has just been going on and on every since the beginning. Anyhow, thanks for posting and it's nice to see that ur still around. Happy mylotting!
