Hi
I'm having a stressful day and just wondered if you could remind me why we chose to have our own businesses? Why don't we give it all up to lead a stress free life working at the local supermarket?

I know how you feel Hayles, but looking at the miserable faces of the cashiers while I have been out today, I suppose it's stressful for them. Especially when they have to sit there with reindeer antlers on their heads looking total pllocks!

Well I do my business as a hobbie! I still of course work fulltime!
My business would have to expand by 400% to cancel out my salary, but slowly I'm getting there!

I run a business, do only programming work for the business and couldn't care less about Christmas. Bah-humbug.

Well bah humbug indeed. I bet you like getting presents though dont you?
I dont know a sinlge 21 year old whos nopt gagging to open their expensive ipod nano or PSP this year.
Admitit Mac, you may be a business man, but your still a child at heart.

Hah, I probably won't be getting anything. My dad and I don't buy each other anything for Christmas anymore, as our birthdays are close to Christmas we just buy 1 present, although we both still agree that birthdays are a waste of time too.
I've already got an iPod ;) And if I bought a PSP, I wouldn't have much of a business left. I also just feel if there's something I want, I'll buy it for myself, so not a lot worth getting me for Christmas. Unless anyone happens to want to buy me a Trek Madone 5.9 SSLx (http://www.trekbike.co.uk/2006/?sec=overview&MainCatID=1&SubCatID=1&RangeID=0&ID=301)?
Now I just sound miserable, but I don't have a girlfriend, kids or anyone close to me that cares about it. Childhood is long gone

Multi, they all think I'm crazy, then feel sorry for me and buy into my company our of sympathy. The plan is falling into place.

I see, so your plan is to make people think that you are crazy, so that they feel sorry for you and buy into your business?
Interesting idea, but I have heard enough and I feel that there are fundamental flaws in your business proposal. I will not be investing with you today.
I am out!
