Self-employed tradies take every job to please clients and maximize income, which leads to exhaustion and overwhelm. Speaker A admits they're still figuring out how to balance the demanding work with personal life.
At the very beginning, you just want to take all the work on and please everyone, but then at the cost of yourself because you then get very tired, get overwhelmed. You can't really keep on top of all the work that comes in, but you just— you're self-employed, you're greedy, you want all of the work. It's just finding coping mechanisms to manage that, really.
How do you kind of like balance that between your like not taking over like your personal life?
Honestly, I'm still trying to work that out.
