No thanks pal, i cant drift to save my life.
Back to seriousness, we manage just fine mate, we only work Monday to Friday 9 - 5 and have an hour for lunch. Does self employed life actually get any easier than that? The bonus is, i dont have a boss breathing down my neck and targets to reach, oh, and i get paid properly which most employees dont of course.
I have plenty of time to do all the other things in life so im not sure what your reffering too??
I had two holidays last year, one in Germany and one in Barbados staying at the Crane Hotel, the year before we did Africa, Germany and spent 2 weeks on the French Rivierra, staying in the Cannes Hilton. Life is good, and it is good BECAUSE i personally refuse to swan off during working hours not in SPITE of it! It means my dealer network knows they can trust us to perform whenever we are required to. Its called commitment and professionalism, something which will always single out an employee from an employer.
There are better and more profitable businesses of course, many of them, but i get a lot of satisfaction out of growing mine and it has grown, religeusly, year in, year out, sometimes in excess of 300%. thats my golf.
