I have been going 30 years I never turn anything down sometimes I get a bit fed up of cleaning the glass only I would prefer add ones. I would rather do two or three cons or facias a day than glass can't be bothered with all the collecting
30 years?longer than me then!
(24 yrs)
I've sold work on in the past as it was too much for one man to clean.
I pick and choose what new work I take on as I like shorter days and weekends off most of the time these days.
Earning money is not the be all and end all for me.time management and keeping a fair work/leisure time balance is far more important.
Once your earning a good wedge month in/month out and are in a financially comfortable position(it's took me many years)then extra work is just eating into your rest/leisure time.
Of course I am always taking a few new jobs on here and there because I lose jobs here and there too for whatever reason.it balances itself out.
I don't do anymore work than I normally do the last few years as I'm at a plateau in my business.
The only way for me to earn more money now is to increase prices (which I have done this month)or work longer and harder which I'm not going to do.I think I work hard enough taking into consideration my age and leisure activities (weight training/playing drums in a band,etc).
I haven't failed to earn more money every year for the last 9 years(ironically since the 2008 stock market crash).
