Well today I had to make a very tough call to part ways with a guy that has been working with me for 8 years. Business grew and we did fairly well but could not get along any longer. With this decision I will take a hit in revenue. He handle most of the gigs during week and when I was booked on weekends. The equipment was mine so I will be fine on that end. Have you ever had a situation in your business with someone who was like a partner or your right hand that things went south and you broke ties? Its tough.
Back in '98 my "right hand man" left me to pursue other options (that did not work out for him).
I was having second thoughts about the rental business and went to work for an install company who had been wanting me to work for them for years.
It was the best move I ever did. Not only did I start to actually learn again, it brought new challenges to me, plus the regular real income was very nice.
I never thought I would want to do installs-but really loved it-until Tom called up and wanted to start a company. Now I am living my dream

Don't be afraid to try something new-you just might like it.
Sometimes things happen for a reason-which we don't understand until later.
