Thanks for the well thought out comment (again). I think we do see eye to eye on a few things, and we would probably butt heads on others. Which is the way things should be.
The only thing I want to add is that you don't need to be 'soft' when delivering your viewpoint, you can be hard but not have to put people down. You have a wealth of experience, and that doesn't need to be softened.
And for the record, September 2008 was also one of the worst times for me business wise too. Just started a new company when Wall St went to shit. Unlike you though, I didn't power through it, I took a rain check. Closed the company up by December and sat on my heels for a while (cough 4 fucking years cough). I know where you're coming from and I do respect your fortitude.
- robomartin 13y agoI wish I had done the same. Friends were telling me back then to just shut it down and BK the thing. To be perfectly frank, cultural baggage prevented me from doing that. I come from a family of entrepreneurs. I've seen my own parents slog it out against all odds and make it. I have to tell you, it is a fucked existence. Social stigma aside, tripping the circuit breaker would have been the right approach. Live and learn.
