I’ve just heard about a dentist who won’t go on holiday because it ‘costs’ him around £3,000 a week in lost income. He sends his family off for a few weeks and just carries on working.
Let’s save the ‘quality of life’ discussion for another day and look at the purely financial aspects of this person’s life.
The man’s overheads for his practice: staff, leasing costs, utilities, phone and internet, rent and so on, are substantial and he feels he can’t take his foot off the pedal because he needs the income to keep the practice going.
Clearly, this person is driven and the viability and success of his business is paramount. But he’s not invulnerable.
