Don’t know what you are trying here, but you seem quite a unhappy guy, I truly feel sorry for you Mick. Try a positive approach on the day ahead you would feel much better.

 

Give me a phone if you feel down perhaps I can help you ?

 

He’s asking what the rest of us are thinking: How much money are you making?

Bloody immigrants, coming over to our country, working hard, paying taxes, putting half the natives to shame.....  ?

Pointing out the obvious flaw in your thinking is not shit stirring.

What’s the flaw in his thinking?
Is it a must to have tens/hundreds of thousands of gear or is the bottom line more important?
I know which I prefer

I agree but he ignored my question about that.

Stefan, We’re not on your back. I’m just trying to learn and improve my life. I want to know that if I work 126 hours a week, I’ll make shitloads of money.

The flaw is that the thread is about growing ones business, Stephan’s business has not grown, despite years of working extremely long hours he’s still running the same grinder a predator 38, no great shakes, decent bit of kit, but not top of the market stuff.

 

 

Now he’s either coining it in and paying a stomach churning tax bill or he’s not charging anywhere near enough (there is a third option of course) because if you were “growing your business” you’d have bought something better to

A. Offset you tax liability 

B. Improve your efficiency

That said I’d want a spare machine if I was clocking up big hours every week! Machine break when worked hard don’t they so downtime would be the killer there

A lot of people mistake "successful" for "busy".

 

Anyone remember the bloke chatting about his mate that ran a successful tree firm! Kept three lads busy year round but only made £25k a year.
