Your car provides a service. But it needs servicing.
Your boiler provides a service. But it needs servicing.
Your home provides a service. But it needs servicing.
Notice the pattern here?
These and other utilities that provide great services at great expense, also require servicing.
The need to be serviced is universal, especially when you serve others.
The need to eat is universal, especially when you feed others.
The need to learn is universal, especially when you teach others.
As a freelancer, consultant, or contractor, you do all these things. But there’s a limit.
You can’t give what you haven’t got.
So look after yourself, so you can look after others.
Service your service business.
