Self-employed . . . . Is it worth it?

Being your own boss - what can be better?

Knowing you finish work at 4 on Friday and don't have to think again until 9 on Monday

My guys have always bitched when they had to work a 10-hour day. I would work a 10-hour day with them working harder than they did times two. Then I would go home and maintenance things and run bids for new contracts.
Way too many 16 to 20 hour days.

Another big problem of mine was I had too big of a damn heart and paid my guys way too much just to be pissed on with laziness.

I really like a lot of your posts on here kimbo.
You're pretty damn smart and you got an out of the box way of thinking.

Just trying to distract myself from the inevitabilities of the human condition. Not sure whether I mean to say 'distract from' or 'accept' in that last sentence. They're probably similar concepts if you turn them inside out.

I think one of the best ways to come back stronger than ever is yoga -- but I'm not talking about a 40-minute class at your local community centre (although that isn't a bad place to start). I'm talking about flying to the north of Thailand to do a 7-day yoga retreat with a couple in their 80's who've been teaching for the past 30 years. I'm considering doing that this Winter. But for now, I'm acting in a play this month, and next month I have my first bout in boxing so I've upped my runs from 3.5 miles to 7 miles. Aiming for 28 miles per week.

Good luck in your bout.
I'm beat up enough from work if I got in a ring my ass would be knocked out in the corner before the starting bell.
