I have met some lifelong friends in this industry and look forward to working another 10-15 years or so. I'm very sure that in these upcoming years the industry will be changing quite a bit, but I plan on staying in touch to be continuing adding value to my paying clients.

Cold as it sounds, I had to go with......I'm in it as long as there's money to be made, because frankly if there's no money to be made we won't be sticking around no matter what!!

I had a great run of 29 years in this business. For sure I've made mistakes, but in retrospect I wouldn't want to have done anything else. I was on the verge of closing it down when someone approached me to buy. I can't believe how fortunate I am to turn my business and customers over to someone who will take my place and continue the service to which they have been accustomed. I am very happy.
