Maybe it's my stick-in-the-mud personality but there's something about being self employed which makes chores of activities which are supposed to be enjoyable. I think it has to do with being so busy, hurried, and stressed that there's no yippie left for much except pure leisure. I'm talking feet on the desk, beer, nachos, salsa, and Getbig. Going out to dinner or a parties is for people who don't know what real downtime is.
Ime, know that you are occasionally, or frequently depending on how bad you are at this, going to have to live for your business and not much else. You don't get to pick when that happens. Your clients do. Sometimes your employees do too. And your girl will not be understanding about it. Basically, you're going to have to keep your shit together and kick ass while being drawn and quartered by a bunch of demanding jerks. Price accordingly.
