Speed 2
they do. They love business. This doesn't make them workaholics, nor do they work a lot of hours for unhealthy reasons like a workaholic does. It's not substitute for something. They aren't in denial. They really, simply love what they do, and love running a business. They love their business as much as someone else loves counted-cross-stitch or horseback riding.
Because of working longer hours for the sheer joy of it, indexers in this category will also move through a lot more material than an indexer who chooses to limit the number of hours they work.
Lifestyle preferences also affect speed in the way our homes and offices are decorated (or not), inside and out.
