[QUOTE="The Agrarian, post: 4047514, member: 3656"] I try to reduce this whole idea down to one thing. Profit. That's what I'm here to make. There are no prizes for over working yourself. In fact, in business, there are no prizes for any work as such. The only prize is for achieving profit. Employees quite often get paid to do work. But they are in a completely different situation. Provided their work is of an acceptable standard to their employer, they are guaranteed to be paid. As self employed, I have absolutely no guarantees. Personally, I don't think I am yet making a good enough job of profit. I could do things better, and make more than I do. I certainly don't need to distract myself from the main purpose by building and plastering walls (though I have had enough practice at both to be able to make a pretty decent stab at them). For that matter, I probably need to be doing less manual work, not more, if I'm to manage things better. [/QUOTE]
