I'm the worst Boss I've ever had.

[CT Todd]

I'm so aggravated at myself. I work on average 6 days a week and just can't get a day out. Business is good I like my work and I just bought a "back Up" CTX (thank you Bart @ Big Boys) I'm very well equipped and have sites. But Damn, The customers and family have to come first. Just Killing me.

A luxury whine!

Oh man I feel for you, I used to work retail and for years 6 days a week and every Saturday. But we gotta do what we gotta do, family is the most important thing providing for them and spending quality time too. This is the way I felt about it at times.

I know where you are coming from Todd, work every day with our cattle operation. There is something to be said for being your own boss I see you have joined the Colchester hunt when are you going. Congrats on taking time off

 

[CT Todd]

Ahhh Nobody knew that yet. I'm going over in March. That's what the spare CTX is all about.I looked at the cost of buying a second charge pack and Wireless headphone units and decided to just buy the CTX and then sell it when I get back OR Not.I'm going with three friends from another forum.We are in the full board house. Big time Newbies.

From Feb of 2013 to Nov '13 I worked 80 hours a week, self employeed just like you..

I got and still am so burned out, working even from the comfort of my living room is miserable. You've got to take time off, or you will get burn out which is very difficult to overcome and makes your life miserable.

Seriously, take my advice. I've also learned that once you start telling customers you can't do it all, then you can up your rates and still have work. Obviously that isn't the important point I'm trying to make, just slow down a bit.
