Just to reply to one of your lines of thought. Measuring a clients worth. How do you measure who's a waste of time? How should you factor in fixed costs vs variable costs, opportunity cost, legal costs, license fee structures, travel costs, whether to bring on new employees for clients, everything that entails what a client's actual worth is to you beyond simply saying "you're a waste of time"?

I think everything you said makes me appreciate my MBA more and how I can truly understand the finer points of running my successful business.

(And I like your comment about learning Excel in 7th grade...truly the key to a successful business is knowing Excel)
