    Matt, Probably the 1st thing I would do (and have done personally)
    is stop trying to be everything to everybody because, they will let
    you do that as long as they are getting what they want, regardless of
    what you want/need out of the deal. 2nd, you probably need to raise
    your repair prices. And number 3, charge extra for any work that you
    know will cause you to work 'overtime'. Its actually a very simple
    problem. Your hands/brain/mouth will only turn so many hours of work
    daily, so the only way for you to get what you want from the deal is
    to work smarter, not longer. And get premium pay for premium output.
    You will find it very difficult to break old habits at first, but
    eventually you will have more dollars, less drudgery hours of repair
    work, more hours of doing the kind of work that you prefer, and
    ultimately, more happiness. Look into David Gellers program for help
    in doing this scenario.
