Being responsible for yourself, your business and employees, your community, your craft, means (among many other things) structuring your business and your prices to deal with as much adversity as is possible to foresee and address. If your pricing structure doesn't account for waste and loss, you're needlessly risking failure. It is understood all the while that you charge what the market will bear. Finding the delicate balance between survival and profit is an art unto itself - which is why 9 out of 10 new businesses fail in the first year.
Hi Elias,Geeze, if one of my clients doesn't pay me, I can't just pass on the cost to my next client!You're kidding right?Why would I be kidding? If I *tried to* pass on the cost to my next client,I wouldn't get the job. Plain and simple. No, I actually have to be responsible for my self, and what happens to me, and can't pass on my problems to anyone else.
