Hi DA, you'll find that #4 is the most important attitude you can have, that is if your the boss and you're paying by the hour.
Too many people take "great pride" in what they do instead of getting the job done and out the door.
Couple of firms back that I worked for had an old feller that spent most of his time polishing the job to make it look nice, as he was close to retirement and not in the best of health, so he just got by on what he did.
This meant the boss, (both of them), were constantly breathing down your neck to see the job finished.
Most of the bosses I've worked for went for production, what went out of the door was money in the bank.
It goes without saying that the job must be right, IE if you bodge it, it's going to bounce back on you, so then you just gotta learn to not pissball about and keep your mind on the job.
One guy I worked with was a real pain in the rrrs, he would spend the first half hour of any job cleaning the machine down and beeching about the calibre of those that worked on it before him.
Ian.
