Good for you, Alan! I’m so happy for you, and so glad you’re happy. I hope things continue to work out for you! I’m confident I’ll still be happy after three months, and beyond, but if you’re not, Troy’s a nice little city! ;-)

What did I do when it didn’t work for me anymore? I packed up and moved 750 miles north. :-) I’m happy to say, that after more than two months here, I’m still pretty excited and happy. so the good news for you is you probably have at least as long as I do to enjoy the honeymoon period of the transition. Since that’s ALL I’ve been here for, I can’t guarantee that either of us won’t be completely miserable after 3 months in the new role. :-)

Then again – if we are, we’ll have each others shoulder to cry on. #WIN

I told you to get those taste buds looked at. That sounds like a real problem to me because Heath Bar lattes are DELICIOUS! :-P

But yes about the other thing.

Actually, have you had a Heath Bar Latte? They’re not that fantastic. Just more proof that Michelle is crazy. And that she fits in here. ;)

In other words…go early, leave early. Gotcha. ;-)

Drat! I’m not as good a secret-keeper as I thought! Although my silence can be bought with a Heath Bar latte. Just something to keep in mind. ;-)

You’re very welcome! Thank you for the thought-provoking questions. I think it’s only natural for people to wonder why someone would make such a big move, and how other businesses are managing their success and growth. Nothing wrong with that. We all have to do what works for us. :-)

Have a great weekend!

I can’t hear you, my Captain Planet theme song is blaring too loudly.

Thanks for the great reply! I think you’re spot on with:

…it’s my hope that our readers will wonder less about why I made the decision I did, and focus more on the actionable points, and how they may relate to their own situations.

I definitely didn’t want to change the topic of conversation too much w/ my inquiries… as what you’re describing is absolutely what people should be taking away from this.
