I agree, the good jobs carry the bad, and you have to keep the doors open at your own cost but the small guy absolutely has to pay attention to and carefully manage every aspect of business, especially pricing. This is where so many business's fail, that roller coaster ride of good/bad jobs is too much. I've seen it in the multi million dollar world just the same, numbers are bigger, those losses hurt big time, and do claim lots of victims. I've been self employed for many years of the course of time and know and have seen many small business's go for the ride. I guess you know when its time to get into something else or work for the man when too many of those jobs go sour. I've been in the same situation, even on the same job, whereas, portions of the job made fantastic money, and some line items were tight, even a slight loss. I've done jobs that ate up too much labor, to stay open, and maintain a reputation for good work, don't like it though. Just me, I have a penchant desire to avoid those losses, irks the heck out of me, you bust your chops, do all the extras required of a small business owner, and you don't make a profit, sometimes it does not make sense LOL !
