I agree, the good jobs carry the bad, and you have to keep the doors open at your own cost but the small guy absolutely has to pay attention to and carefully manage every aspect of business, especially pricing. This is where so many business's fail, that roller coaster ride of good/bad jobs is too much. I've seen it in the multi million dollar world just the same, numbers are bigger, those losses hurt big time, and do claim lots of victims.
