you know bob, up until about 6-7 years ago, I wanted to be the best electrician I could be. I'm a very competetive person with myself. But about that time, I realized that it didn't matter if I was the best damn electrician in the world, I needed to become the best electrical contractor I could be. Once I determined that there was a difference, I saw things completely differently. I realized that I no longer wanted to be an electrician, i wanted to be a contractor.

Do me a favor, I edited my post. Please reread the beginning where I pose a question. Maybe it will make sense, let me know.
