That Kiwi
Something a little different to Jim's thread about starting in this business.
I stay in my business because:-
I like it for the freedom that it gives me. I'm earning enough that my wife doesn't HAVE to work. She does a bit here and there to keep her nursing registrations etc. I usually get to have Breakfast with my family, leave about 8.30. Home 4 out of 5 days for about an hour luch break and then home by 6 each night to again have tea with my wife and girls.
I take a minimum of 3-4 weeks annual leave a year with a solid break of 2+ weeks in one go and then a number of long weekends throughout the rest of the year.
I couldn't do most of this stuff if I worked for someone else.
Yes it has it's ties and down sides, but I've told my wife "Don't you ever let me sell this business when I'm having a bad trot'. There will be times that I wished I didn't have it but they are less than 5% of the year.
I thought a POLL might have been a good idea but can't do that. A few options would be:-
I love the industry and the freedom it gives me.
I love my boss/environment at work.
I hate it but it pays my bills.
I stay because what else would I do?
I can't get out, I'd loose too much money.
I pick number one myself.
