Survival is all its about, its about nothing else.<BR/><BR/>To me a primary reason for self-employment is 'freedom'. Being self-employed means taking 3-6 months off a year for 'travel' so you wish.<BR/><BR/>In good times you can hire 'help' to run your biz, and in bad times lay them all off, and run the biz yourself. Enjoy the cycles.<BR/><BR/>Now is one of those times you have to lay everyone off, I know you didn't want to do this, but its just a cyclic fact of 'survival'.<BR/><BR/>During the bad times you hunker down, focus on the customer, fine tune your biz. During the good times, you can be absent, and fuck around all day where ever you want.<BR/><BR/>You know what you got to do dunc. Just do it and move on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
