I've always been motivated by money.  Years ago I used to work for Happy Computers whose inspirational leader, Henry Stewart was always looking for ways to empower his employees.  I think he was shocked when I told him once that he underestimated the affect more money could have for me! (Though being a thouroughly good boss, he didn't dismiss the idea, and did I think pay me more evenutally).

And recently, in a moment of solitude, I saw my goal in life.  It's to get to a point where I have more money than sense.  I think it would be great to hear people say "That Ian B, he has more money than sense!", and to have so little sense and so much money that I could spend my doe on all sorts of non-sensical things like fast cars and boats.  It would be great for family life too - my kids love it when I am silly, and if I had more money than sense then I could be as silly as I liked and never have to stop being silly and skulk off to the office to actually do some work.  I could do crazy impulse things like taking us all off for a weekend in lapland in the Summer, or putting an endless pool in my garage (whoops - already done that one, though I am still fitting it together, it's definately getting me fit though lifting those huge galvanised steel panels around)

There are of course two ways to achieve my goal - I could increase my money, or I could decrease my sense.  I think I prefer the first option, though if that doesn't work out, maybe I'll try the latter...
