Each individual success is mutually exclusive. The only thing that you can count on is that each individual experience changes you in certain ways... That said, what's your urgency in having to make a life altering decision that impacts five people (including yourself)?

Urgency is that I've spent last 6 months licking wounds and doing due diligence on what's next. It's time to make a decision and start swinging for the fences. I am so eager to get back to putting in a 60 hour week of real productivity I could cry!

  How much of your due diligence is making you more resourceful with what you want to do? I really can't agree enough with the earlier comment about discussing this with your wife. It's just as much her decision about where you guys want to live as it is yours.

Be advised that the only reason my family currently enjoys it's quality of life (think big house and foreign cars) is because I have taken risks. I grew up poor and have defied the odds since I was 18. I don't understand your comment. Are you saying a family man should no longer stretch, grow and strive for abundance....because it is selfish?

  The point I'm attempting to make is that the landscape of success can change really fast and what worked in the past might not work again in the future. I've experienced this and I've seen others go through it. I'm talking about millionaires who tried doing the EXACT same thing and floundered for years before they admitted to losing everything. I am definitely advocating that you develop yourself further and grow in ways you have not. But do it from a position of power, not because circumstances are such that it becomes an act of urgency, or worse, desperation.

  > think big house and foreign cars LOL what? A big house in Silicon Valley costs at least 2 million dollars, and "foreign cars" is like saying "wet water".
