Chat with a homeowner last week made me rethink my whole pitch

I was at a house in Arlington doing a level 2 inspection and the guy just asked me flat out 'do you actually enjoy cleaning chimneys or is this just a job to get through my day'. I told him it pays the bills but his question stuck with me because I realized I've been going through the motions for about 5 years now. Has anyone else had a customer ask something that forced you to think about why you're still doing this work?

Taking a step back isn't always a bad thing. Last week a potential client asked me if I was passionate about masonry and I just laughed because I told her I'm passionate about getting paid. Different angles, same game.

Every job I know has that gap between what people assume and what actually pays the bills.
