It's been a blast but I did this mostly by muscling through the learning curve (of which I know I still have far to go) and using my savings from my W2 job.   

I also hope that over time the business can be at a stage where I can hand over all shares to a certain number of individuals and step back, relax (in the Bahamas), keep a minority stake and watch others while they grow my creation.

It relaxes you and puts everything into perspective.

Depends, a farmer won't care what you are wearing if you need to get out in the woods and fields, a teacher or manager type may notice if you say you want to buy thier house.A professional appearance doesn't need to be expensive or stuffy, a relaxed look is fine, IMO.

I can relax now!

:mrgreen: Nick, relax, Shana and I enjoy poking at each other's arguments.And TRULY REALLY sorry to disappoint you but I won't turn my attention to you.

Right now I'm focusing on changing habits and routines where I tend to light up without thinking, like talking on the telephone for longer than 10 minutes and relaxing with that cup of coffee out on the deck.

paint on the awning to make it blend with house and then like other suggestions, add a relaxed color to out line the house, windows, doors and skirt area of the awning to tie it all in.

Our thoughts are to meet in a relaxed environment to network and share ideas on investing.

I totally fell in love with Hoi An, Da Nang was so dynamic and Nha Trang was so relaxing.
