Coach and others that are successful monitarily...what drives you?

[Wiggs]

 

What keeps you going to do what you do?  Is it the love you what you do?  The money?  both?  How do you stay motivated once you're financially well off?  Or does the thirst for power or money become greater once you have a bit of it?

[dov]

Coach is well off? thought he worked at a gym....inheritances?

[Wiggs]

Coach is does very well for himself...If I remember he said he paid 30k in taxes last year.

A wise man strives to have more riches than bitches.

[Wiggs]

If I remember correctly he lived a couple houses down from Sandra Bullock and Jesse James when they were together...Coach is doing ok for himself...

He had all three in spades  

King Solomon = The Man.

[magicuser]

I paid 50k in taxes last year, am I well off??

do you live in canada?

many her emake 6 fig

at 100k for example you pay 40k taxes

this doesnt include capital gains 35% or sales taxes 10% in state of CA

so I probably paid 65k realistically

[JimmyJam1974]

I paid a lot more in taxes than that last year. I just have that inner drive to go all out everyday,

Truth, and he was generally successful in keeping his women from knowing much about one another.

He's been my idol since I was like 11. 

[Ex Coelis]

pride, drive, and fear of failure

[JimmyJam1974]

Fear of failure

God damn QFT brother. I am reasonably succesful due to not wanting to fail in front of others.

[ManBearPig...]

The thing that drives everyone is power, and the continual acquisition of it.

People who have more money than they know what to do with will often obsessively keep pursuing things that seem strange to others.  For example someone who made a lot of money running their business will, instead of retiring and playing golf on a tropical island or whatever, continue risking it all and trying to build their business even bigger and better because it's a challenge and continually, successfully meeting that challenge is satisfying as it leads to more and more power.

no, it's cuz they're married to bitches and just want to get out of the house.

[Coach is Back!]

What drives me?

1. I love what I do.
2. Providing for my family so they won't do without.
3. I love what I do, its a passion. Everyday I think how can I make my athletes better, I love reading about new research about training, nutrition.

Oh, I guess I could have lower expectations of myself like being a bartender on a ship for $10hr, but I grew out of that about 20 years ago.

[Coach is Back!]

What I said wiggs is we bring in $30k per month.

[Wiggs]

I apologize.  I thought in a thread earlier this year when we were talking about taxes, you were pretty pissed and said you had just written a 30k check or something close to that for taxes....Either way you're doing really well and I admire that about you...no homo.

[johnnynoname]

your mom drives me
