My ego says give me the 6 figure projects, so we don't have to work as hard...but the reality is unless it's the 'right' 6 figure project it's just not worth the hassle or risk.

Yeah, understood. When I was starting out in custom sales, and I would hang with other custom salesmen for beers, we had all of our ego's pretty wrapped up in the "I've got a bigger project than you syndrome"...

I remember one time hanging with some pals in the business, and one guy said "Hey I took in $125K this week---and that was just for the design retainer!" Backl then that was like...WOW!

Kind of like p*nis envy. Of course Bryan as you and I know... the big jobs can equate to big losses and big grief if all does not go well. On the other hand, they can lead to big margins or at the very worst -- cash flow until the next profitable one comes along.

I've seen some big projects take down some CI guys, but no risk - no rewards - right?
