Why are you still trading?

Very interesting to see all the different responses here - some really good snippets to pull out about why people feel they are still going.

To toss something slightly different into the mix - has anyone else noticed a pick-up in business recently? Although our 'closed' sales haven't increased asuch, we certainly have a lot more new clients involved in project discussions, and more a lot more in the pipe than we did at the start of the year..

By not being greedy, taking time to get to know my customers (far easier to maximise business with current customers than to pick up new ones) also by not being afraid to push boundaries and try different approaches- currently offering open book trading with some customers where they see my buy price and we have pre agreed % margin, quite unusual but it gives transparency in a very murky market

I'm still trading because I know that the only way from here is up; and that up could go a long way!

If that means keeping my old car and missing a couple of holidays, it has to be worth it!
