Wim, I wouldn't say business here in Mississippi is great. But I've done very little marketing of my services. This is due to other things always going on in life that really prevent a "full" work week. Namely, being a single dad. I'm working 2-3 days a week -- sometimes more if more people call. I've just finished up a reconditioning and regulation of a Baldwin vertical. And I have two grand recon/regs in October. For me, that's plenty for right now. And I'm getting ready for my final exam (the technical) in November. I take the work as it comes, and it has been more than sufficient. Some people might call it luck. I call it the kind provision of a caring Father. The work comes as needed, and even in areas that I'm already scheduled to be in. The gaps in the schedule fill up amazingly nicely. I'm not getting rich, and not accumulating much in retirement, but I'm really content. And money can't buy that. :-) Also, it pays to live debt free and frugally. And to not have a mind set on the next new toy. And to pack lunches instead of eating out every day. All that means less outflow ... ergo, less worry and less stress. -- JF On Mon, Sep 15, 2008 at 7:39 PM, Willem Blees <wimblees at aol.com> wrote: > If it weren't for my prescheduled appointments, my business would be next > to nothing.
