Alright, so a long week is over. 5 o’clock is creeping up in a few minutes and then I’m off to some amature NASCAR style races with Heather and Eli.

This week has been nuts with the Chicago trip, coming back to hectic work situations [clearing my throat], sleeping poorly… but I’m looking forward to 10 minutes from now. Tonight will be fun as long as the rain stays away – Saturday morning we’re cleaning the garage (Heather, we ARE) – and then Saturday afternoon and most of Sunday I’ll spend preparing the new site for programming. I’m hoping to be done sometime in the next 2 weeks.

I read an article last night that I passed on to Heather, but thought some of you may be able to take something out of it too. It’s technically about what start-up companies go through and what it’s all really about – but no matter what you do, the last part of the article is priceless… it talks about the REAL motivation for starting your own business…

The goal is to work your ass off now, quickly… to make a ton of money NOW… not because it’s about money, but its about the speed of which you make that money. I’ll make a lifetime of money in the next 5-10 years, while you might do it in 25-40. That gives me 20-30 years of extra life to spend doing things that I love and not having to worry about an alarm clock, bills, and the other everyday stresses that a typical life carries with it.

I, for one, am going to keep that in mind as I continue to work 16 hour days…
