Good luck to you and family Jeff. Just keep an open mind.

It's REALLY ironic, guys.

Since I typed this all up.....I've been approached by yet another company (outside this industry).....which is an off-shoot to a meeting I had yesterday morning with one of our company's former owners (former CFO).

Life is good. All will be well.

Very best of luck, Jeff. I know how you feel. After 17 years in the Navy, I had to pack up and move on due to family issues. I was so close to retirement, but I made the only decision I could make. I have no regrets. I do miss the Navy, but I am very happy in my current position. I was surprised how much opportunity there is out there. There are so many people that don't want to do their jobs, that a little motivation can take you a LONG way. Again, I wish you the very best of luck and know you will excel at whatever you choose.

Jeff,

I just made the jump in august. I went from a nice cushy secure job to working for myself. It is "uneasy" especiallysince I have young ones, but I know that the harder I work the more sucessfull I will be.

Just be aggressive and stay positive. It sounds like you have enough "outs", if things don't work out.

If you don't take the chance you will never know how great you can be!I didn'twant to be stuck dragging myself to work everyday, all the while wondering what might have been..................

Best of luck to ya jeff.

Good luck Jeff. I wish the best In the future!

Jeff,
Best of luck to you with your new venture,I feel the same way that you and Lisa do about things happening for a reason. I was in the same boat you are in now just a couple short years ago and today I look at it as a blessing, I am way better off in my situation today....you WILL be fine and things do happen for a reason and you get some more time to hunt...Again, best of luck to you!!!!

That's the mindset we have. I worked too long with the carrot on the stick as my motivation. I (and likely my company) knew that drive wouldn't be the same without it.

You guys are GREAT. I appreciate all of this....but hell....I'm hunting a LOT in the coming days...weeks....who knows? I'm too antsy to let it go too long....lol....but I WILL hunt my ass off for a while.

Jeff- there is no doubt in my mind that you'll be ok , but best of luck!! You seem like an intelligent guy so I don't think you'll have any trouble. Best wishes.

Best of luck, Jeff. What I know about you is persistance, a positive outlook and determination. There is little doubt in my mind that whatever you venture out into will work perfectly well. But still......it IS a little scary, huh? Just the unknown of it. I mean, for the last 13 years, you've known what your job and duties are, and there is some security in that. Now, well......That's all changed, hasn't it? And with that comes some uneasiness, I know. Have fun in Mexico (again).....
