The commuting was the killer for me, it's nice to have a bit of time for personal interests and not just travel, work, sleep.

It's still your choice at the end...I could have four clients today but they all agreed to come on Monday...
I do have a good understanding about my clients and they have the same about me... We do respect each other...

Yes, anyone with any team, or on their own, can only work so fast. Only so much planning can be done, and the unexpected still occurs. The impossible, is not possible, unfortunately for unreasonable clients!I could have four clients today but they all agreed to come on Monday...

Quality comes before quantity...I can't risk working with low level of concentration, and my clients know it very well...

I guess it very much depends on your level of concentration required, as if you don't concentrate, it will be a thorough balls-up!!!I can't risk working with low level of concentration, and my clients know it very well...
If on the other hand you import goods, it depends on how fast your sales people can move it, and obviously your quality in advertising them!
Thus: It all depends on the field of expertise?

We are all in the Rat Race, whether we want to or not, and we have to realise that the level of influence on us, depends on how much our line of business allows us, to let it affect us directly, which causes burnout, and various other gremlins!

I still believe one can be a good professional without having to join any kind of race...We are all in the Rat Race, whether we want to or not, and we have to realise that the level of influence on us, depends on how much our line of business allows us, to let it affect us directly, which causes burnout, and various other gremlins!
But it really depends on what they do...

When someone becomes part of the rat race is if they choose to be.

Everyone that does anything, is part of the rat race, even retired people depends on the rat race, but will not necessarily be directly affected, only by choice, if they do extra work, for an extra income!------ This thread is Archived ------

It is stressful and exhilarating!!!
You name it?
The question is:
Will You survive it?
In the olden days, people had very little worries, as they were not striving for the impossible!
Today, it's the norm!
