You've got that right. Thinking about the 'threshold factor' has reminded
me that in every video job I win, I have to build in enough profit to cover
the time I spend with clients and potential clients discussing programs that
never happen and working up bids for projects that either I lose or that
change character so much that three or four budgets have to get prepared
before things are finalized. There are lots of claims on the 'gross
profits' of each job before anything gets to my pocket.
