Is it just me, or does this biz get more boring?

I can't say that I'm bored with this business per se. (not an egomaniac comment, sorry if its perceived that way) I get the sense that I've become VERY successful and that sometimes takes the winds out of the sail.

However, I have many other ventures I spend my time on and I have a renewed excitement in this industry with our new dialer project (we are now a Tier 1 dialer provider).

I love going to E3 (we've exhibited at the last 2) being a nobody. It makes me hungry to succeed. Not for the money, but just to prove to myself that I can do it, and I will!

I'm heavily invested in Real Estate and Casual Dining Restaurants as well. So I keep myself busying staying on top of my ops people (we employ almost 1000 people in the food service business alone).

I always said that reaching success is like climbing the rungs of a ladder. You make an achievable goal that is inline with your final goal (top of the ladder) and keep moving up. I'm at a point now where I'm just finding new ladders

BTW Brad - I'm betting you are close on that boat with the ARS points

I love fishing too, in fact I built a 5 acre lake in my backyard for watersports and bass fishing!
