Achiever

There is a certain dependability found in Achiever – you can be counted on to get the job done. Achievers set the pace, bring energy to projects and drive projects forward, making sure the work is completed.

Your Achiever theme helps explain your drive. You feel as if every day starts at zero. Every day, you must achieve something to feel good about yourself. And by “every day,” you mean every single day — workdays, weekends, vacations. If a day passes without some form of achievement, no matter how small, you will feel frustrated and restless.

You have a fire burning inside you. It pushes you to do more, to produce more. After each accomplishment, the fire dwindles for a moment, but it soon rekindles itself, pushing you toward the next accomplishment. Your relentless need for achievement might not be logical or even focused, but it will always be with you.

You must learn to live with this whisper of discontent. It gives you the energy you need to work long hours without burning out. It is the jolt you can always count on to get started on new tasks and new challenges. It is the power supply you use to set the pace for yourself and others. Achiever is the theme that keeps you going.
