Your Merc is not there, it may have been stolen?

there are many translators with those qualities in Europe who will never be able to reach those figures from translation.
I didn't intend for this post to be a 'how to get rich guide'. There are plenty of 'how to succeed' guides for translators. I think people should look there for advice and tips (like I did years ago).
Rather, I wanted to share my experiences last year and what I learned.
Maybe those many translators that you are referring to could try something different?
That in a highly competitive translator's market in Europe, being "reliable and certified" doesn't mean much in terms of very high earnings. I was just making comparisons. You said your rates were high, why did you have to work 16 hrs/day then?

Since I reckoned you had definitely put your finger on it, Lingua 5B, I've just rung the police to report a missing Merc. But when I was unable to tell them the registration, the colour, the model or any details whatsoever, they were rather rude and simply hung up on me.

that is 100.000 euros, one must surely work 16 hours per day in my opinion.

If I had to hire someone for services (any kind, say a mechanic, translator or any, doesn't matter) and I knew this person was overworked with 16 hr/day shifts, I would never hire them as I couldn't trust such an overworked person can provide quality work.

Won't be doing that, I just thought as you provided a pic with bicycles it was easy to provide one with the Benz.

... DJ's doing this in the thread, by any means, but by association it reminds me of a long time ago when a friend of mine, who had done very well for himself and wanted to tell me about it, rang me and said, "Hey, listen to this", whereupon I heard an echoey "clok-clok-clok-clok-clok-clok-clok-clok" for nearly a full minute, and then he said, "That was me walking the full length of my teak floor in the living room."

That's very NOT environmentally friendly. Teak is a tropical hardwood.

| Keep it up, DJ | Jan 23, 2018 |
My part-time freelancing for direct clients brought me some $32K gross (pretax) last year, whereas back-of-the-envelope calculations with agencies throw icy-cold water over the "Big Win" plan, so I'd rather mum's the word!
...A wrong country or a niche, perhaps.
You did mention 'I “became” DJHartmann Translation'--did you go for a small business as an agency/LLC?
This educated guess would explain a few things)

I just wanted to see the car, that's all. As far as I can recall, he was showing his workplace in a coffee shop, and was providing his annual earnings report before as well. Or if it was some other poster, I apologize.
He showed annual earnings report last year(s?) as well, and now - it's tradition. (for all of you who are asking - why?)

This is more to do with the Australian business environment. I have registered as a business here and charge Australian clients GST.
I do not want to give up being a good translator to become an agency.
What I meant about that was I gave my full 100% focus on my work, at the cost of my wife and family.
