Yes, I totally agree!! Especially with the last quote. It's just that my boss is also trying to make me believe that it's stupid to go and it won't work... but I won't let him change my mind. However when he asked me why do you want to go, I said: - Cause I like the idea, I want to try and I'm sure I'll learn a lot on the way. How can this not be enough?

If the company that you are with are this worried about you going then it is probably time they faced up to not building a business around one person and also you can help them transition to to time without you there
