I am behind on my reading because of moving house, James, but checking in when I can. So pleased to see you have hit the 100 followers mark and (I'm guessing) joined the MPP. Great article and as someone that has been self-employed most of my life this really resonated - especially the bit about holidays. They cost double for us - cost of holiday plus loss of earnings. To be honest, I used to find it harder to take a holiday than not. It always involved working way harder just before going, then way harder when I got back and I just used to end up exhausted by the whole thing.
Hoping you have a great time in Belgium, Aππ
