For me, every company I deal with is bigger than I am. It is a sad part of what I do that I can't get enough walk in trade to survive without them. They usually provide a good amount of work and at times provide some shielding from the seasonal nature of this business. Their own employees missing work for vacation, or illness, or quitting tend to produce work for me during slow periods. Since there is a long term relationship involved the paycheck for the work keeps coming. they do tend to get rather demanding though, sometimes more than others.That can be difficult to deal with. It is important to keep faith in myself and trust that things will work.
