This was the hardest lesson for me to learn. I succeed at solving problems by being stubborn, but stubbornness is the problem.

Get out. Get out fast and clean, if you can, fast, if you can't. Clean is secondary.

There is a whole world of projects that value competence. They deserve it far more than these bozos.

Isn't at all once you start your own business.

Being smart and stubborn is like having race car. Will make you go nuts sitting in a traffic jam all day. But once you discover where the race track is, you'll find it rewarding to hit the gas and leave everyone else in the dust.

Wow! I will try to remember that metaphor when I start to plan going into self-employment (in a year or two). Thank you!
