Sorry I’m late to the discussion … just wanted to say I hope all is well for you and I’m proud of you for working so hard for so long. Best wishes moving forward and please feel free to shoot the breeze with me anytime.

(Sorry for being late to the comment party – I just ran across this in my newsfeed while cleaning up for my own August vacation)

As someone who has stepped down & delegated leadership from the founder role to professional managers let me say congratulations. While the first couple of times that I did this it was scary turning the wheel over and learning not to be a backseat driver – I think you’ve done it with the openness, class & style that I would expect from one of the pioneers of professional blogging.

Good luck with your new adventures & do enjoy your time off. After 19 years of doing the deferred life syndrome of entrepreneurship I made a decision a few years ago to stop and smell the roses – it does lead to a more balanced & practical view of entrepreneurship. In fact it leads to new perspectives on opportunities that had previously passed me by.

Congrats on all your accomplishements with B5 and best of wishes in your new adventures.

I’m on a workcation for august, visiting friends in the US and such, but I’ll be back, and back in the saddle by end of august… ready to see what’s next.

I guess right now I’m mainly trying to find enough space to depressurize, while staying busy enough to put food on the table, while being open enough that if the perfect opportunity comes along I won’t miss it.

Fingers crossed that plan works out, heh.

As to the next thing, have you ever considered piracy? You’d make a great Dredd Pirate Roberts…

Here’s to the journey. Cheers.

I wish you great success as you move to the next step! Oh, and #dumplings when you’re back in NYC (or do I have to once again drive 13 hours of karaoke in Toronto?).

Cheers!

Happiness is important. Congrats on making the decision to pursue it and being able to do so. Good luck on what’s next!
