[QUOTE="Steve Hurt, post: 92414, member: 311"] Re: How do you not lose your mind? They probably start by focusing on sound and not fixing trucks. I remember my dad lecturing me for doing a remodel at my business. He told me I should have hired it out, even though I saved thousands doing it myself. He said my time would have been better spent focusing on growing the business, not pinching pennies. 15 years later, I look back and know he was right. (Not that I follow his advice - sitting here making cables tonight!) As far as "take these things to the gig" checklists, I have master lists in my computer for every size gig I do. I open the appropriate list, add the stuff I need that isn't on it, delete the stuff I don't need, and save it. If I do that show again, I still start with the master list (because I update the master lists regularly) but I also print out the list from last time and look over it to see if I'm forgetting anything specific to that show. I'm a one man business, and this is probably much simpler way of dealing with things than you are looking for, but that's how I do it and it works for me. [/QUOTE]
