Re: Successfull in Spain.
Own your own company for 12 years, work 14 hour days, take only two weeks holiday a year, get regularly called out in the middle of the night, miss a lot of your kid growing up, stress yourself to the max ........ its easy ...... as the saying goes the harder you work the luckier you get.

I could die before I retire.
It may not suit everybody, but it`ll do for me.

Re: Successfull in Spain.
Would never even entertain the idea of working for someone else,its just as insecure as self employment these days anyway,with no pension,sickpay etc
