Cool Could you handle the stress of running a large business?

Running a business generates a whole host of new challenges, which you never would have thought of when you were working for someone else, which is why it takes a special kind of indvidual.

The long hours, risk and obsession become part of your daily life, and this is what makes many of us tick. But can you imagine checking your results for the last quarter and seeing you made a £9.5m ($15.3m) loss??

Ryan Air has just reported this loss in its October to December figures, although it's smaller than they expected!

Their CEO, Michael O'Leary is a character, with his famous "if you dont like us, then fly with someone else" style of customer service, but do you think you could handle the kind of pressure he must be under?

All of a sudden, some of these big bonus's when a company is doing well (banks excluded!) don't seem quite so bad

I cant cope with the stress of running a small business.
and as we all know there are ways and means of making the business look as if it is running at a loss and then when the recession turns for good the company makes bumper profits and the share price goes through the roof and here comes the bumper bonus to match.

£9.5 million loss - oh my!

Seems so casual in the report and then to say it was less than expected, cool & calculated
