I guess I could elaborate on "asshole" but if someones working you into the ground and the stress level is very high it's not worth the $

Also meets the same definition as being self employed.
I know I am self employed but work for the most picky, slave driving, on your case, relentless, haunt you in your dreams, pain in the ass, critical, ass hole I know.

Side note- there have been a lot of good sayings and advice in this thread and a good amount of bad advice that just makes me cringe, but to each their own.

Success is just getting up one more time greater than the times you have been knocked down.

1. create a solution that solves a problem for the people who buy from you
2. make sure that solution naturally aggravate the problem for those who don't buy from you.

do those things and you will have a geometric growth in your services.

Learn your business from your customers. Understand their minds, their hearts, and their lives. Do what you do to make their lives easier. When a problem comes, leave them a place to stand and stand tall beside them. And remember, everyone is your customer.

THE STORY OF THE SPARROW

On a beautiful winter day in Siberia, encouraged by the warm rays of the sun in a clear blue sky, a little sparrow left the security of his nest to fly and frolic in the air, but the 40o below zero temperature quickly overcame the imprudent bird who fell to the ground, frozen, and found himself buried in the snow where he would certainly have died in an instant. But by chance a cow trotted by at that moment, and at the very spot where the sparrow was struggling for his last breath, she dropped a large soft cow-dung on top of the bird. The warmth of this dung-bath resuscitated the moribund sparrow. He was so happy, he raised his head out of the cow-shit and started to twitter joyfully, which drew the attention of a wandering homeless cat who delicately pulled the sparrow out of the shit and devoured him.

The moral of this story: Your enemy is not necessarily the one who shits on your head. Your friend, however, is not necessarily the one who pulls you out of the shit. And besides, one should never twitter when one is buried in shit.

"If not now, when?"

That got me off my ass many times when I was just starting out. But then, steaming ahead without hesitation also got me into my share of trouble.
