And yes, the phrase "I can sit at home for free" and "No point doing a job to break even/pay wages" go through my head a lot and it does take time to sink in.
How many times have i been in the workshop till midnight trying to get a job finished just to break even. If you want to earn £15 an hour, you can do that with minimal stress.
There has to be a profit over and above your personal hourly rate.
Personally I think of it as half for me half for the business. You'd be looking at £20 an hour working for someone site welding/fitting etc. So if youre not walking away with more than £200 in your pocket for a days work, you may as well be employed.
