Selling Out At Last

Steve, you need to bottle those feelings, seriously, you live in park slope, go make some money and contribute to the decline of the world instead, like every other good, hypocritical park sloper. - Anonymous "advice" from someone I suspect does not like to be called Brownie.

It's a rainy Saturday morning, or it is supposed to be, sometimes it's hard to tell here from up on the 4th floor. I'm supposed to be doing a long run today, but instead I'm spending the morning fucking around the house, fucking around on the internet, and getting bits of work done before I leave for the Yucatan this Wednesday. Monday and Tuesday will not leave much time for odds and ends. In about two hours I'll head into the city to do some shopping, and then E and I will likely get some miles in.

And I can't wait to get out of here to tell you the truth, but that's a whole other story. I'm kind of into what comes next right at this moment.

My business is doing really well, and I've been doing this long enough to know when to make a move, and this is one of those times. I couldn't tell you what the experts are saying about the economy, but this feels like 1998 to me, minus the heady pre-millenial tocuh, and I see the number of people going into business for themselves, friends and new clients, and from this random illogical sample, I know things are about to get real good. Ask me to explain it to you in terms of economics, and I can't, but sometimes you have to go with your gut, and I know that's always been the key to my success.

And if I'm right, this time around, I want to take as much as I can. To do that, Quick Byte has to become something else. I'm not quite sure what, but it has to be something I never really wanted in the first place, and I'm not sure I want now, but I don't care. Like I said I want to take as much as I can. It's time to really and truly sell out.

So, when I get back, I begin this process of building a company that is already a little too big for me into something even bigger. I get to work harder, maybe even manage some people again, who knows I might even have to start paying commercial rent. I hope not, but I will, it's time to be a good hypocritical Park Sloper.

Ah, success.
