I really feel for Mike, as I own my small business I know most owners have a large portion of their net worth tied up in operating capital, receivables, equipment, inventory and other. Even though the business may provide a more than good income, all your net worth is at risk every month. At some point, the risk may become more than the reward. Difficult choice, but peoples needs change as they grow older and (hopefully) wiser. I know mine have changed over the 25 years I have been in business. I wish you well Mike and hoping we will see you involved in some new way.
Sincerely,
Chris S.
