    You may also find Conrad that some people who claim to be busy actually are? Or can they not be because they don't follow your all-knowing business model?


    Some would consider a personal net income of less than £100,000 to constitue 'being quiet'. Others would equate an income of £40,000 as being busy. All down to perception.

    I personally do not feel fulfilled in a business sense unless Im earning enough to be able to invest at least 20% for retirement, whereas someone else would be perfectly happy putting nothing aside and still feel sucessful.
  • I could earn £20k and feel sucessful if my family are happy! I have a great son, wife and one more on the way! In the real world though Ihave towork alittle harder and smarter as with the wife at home with little man, 20k is not enough!

    However my laptop had to re built and I amnow very busy! All happens at once!!
