This forum topic is for the discussion of the poll question "On a scale of 1 (worst) to 5 (best), how would you rate your 2018, professionally speaking?".
It wasn't as good financially as 2016 (it would be difficult to equal and money isn't everything), but I kept my old customers and attracted a few new ones, had no payment issues. All is well in this neck of the woods!

But it was intentional, reducing my activity on purpose. Now at about half of what used to be my "usual" business.

I'm just wondering what you mean specifically, Henry. It would be good to know your perspective on this..

Considering the disastrous economic situation in Brazil since 2013, having a sufficient income to pay all bills in cash, buy a few new appliances/furniture, have a bit of fun (restaurants, entertainment every now and then), and keeping a decent life standard makes the situation "far from perfect but I must admit I'm doing pretty well in such scenario". When the economy recovers, it should become a 5 very fast, I suppose.
