I had about 8 weeks on my own about 3 months ago and i loved it. The only problem was i didnt earn as much. I find i work alot faster when i have someone doing all the downstairs and knocking for money. I do look forward to the days when i can take my foot off the gas, probably 20 years from now :

. When you have someone working for you, you can get let down whereas when you are on your own you dont need to rely on anyone. I put all my prices up but still found i was struggling if the weather was bad for a couple of days a week. If i could guarentee 5 - 7 hour days a week i would work on my own.
