How much do you put into the business?

[Lee Winger]

when I was an Arb contractor I worked far too many hours for way too little, sod that for a game I'm pleased I eventually came too my senses before the stress killed me, I've never known a job to be so stress full, not that Joe public understand that, they think its all about poncing about in a wood being at one with nature

[Paul Jenks]

I made a commitment to my family to be home to cook tea every day and I very rarely work weekends.

That's the plan though it does sometimes go astray. Especially recently.

My view is that the business should be able to run with relatively normal hours put in by all, including the MD. I work about 60 or so hours a week and could probably do more doing lots of things I don't enjoy. Fortunately, I have a team of people working with me that do enjoy some of these tasks. I'm a man of modest needs and for the hours I put in I'm about the lowest paid in the company, work the hardest and have the most pressure by a long chalk. The key difference between pressure and stress is the type of support underpinning it. I can deal with a good deal of pressure as I have a good team with me.

So in conclusion, I put my heart, body and soul into my business. I also put a great deal into my family, which, after all, is more important than everything else. (They are the ones who are going to feed me and wipe my arse when I'm old and frail.)
