Well said Colin - Being in the security business for over 15 years and
also having started many other types of businesses over the years, I can
attest to the fact - "Do what your heart feels not what your brain tells
you". Meaning that if you really study all the facets of operating a
business you will opt to walk away and work for someone else. My
feeling has always been that I can do anything for myself that I would
have done working for another. It has been very good to me and never
have I considered suicide since I stopped working for another company.
