To My Loyal Readers, All Four of You

Today brings news of a meeting to be held in late June that represents the big break that my small company has been working towards for four years now. Every entrepreneur dreams of that catapulting opportunity - the one that can tranform their small business that is somewhere between just paying the bills and achieving modest success into an unqualified success that rewards all the personal and financial risks, gray hairs and heart palpitations that were endured along the way. That's what is at stake in late June and so the intense preparation begins now. The bags of Colombian robusto coffee are staged, the take-out menus have been assembled, and the wife and kids will shortly be shipped off to the in-laws. It's hammer time, and given the need for prioritization, blogging will cease until further notice, perhaps forever. Although it takes a small amount of my time, even that little bit of time has a new, much higher value. Your time is valuable too, so my sincerest thanks to any and all who have spent it to surf over here and read my rantings/thoughts. I leave you with a quote that hangs in my office, from an unlikely source of inspiration to a capitalist.

"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat." - TR

Best to All.
