Ok Looking back I have not posted in FOREVER....I have let my digital persona fade....SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO very much has changed since I last posted. WOW .... for starters I am now 100% Self-employed no partners or any crap like that... Comtel is history.... We are doing GREAT. This is the best I have ever been in my life financially. - I own a company in Springfield called Exodus Technologies. Computer / Network Consulting and VOIP PBX is our specialties. but that is a tip of the iceberg as to what we do. - Exodus Has been going strong for 2 1/2 years now....WOW....I was reading earlier posts and I left off just after I started the division with Comtel... - Well that lasted for a year and gave me time to know what I was really capable of. I was confident in my IT abilities but how was I at starting and growing a business? I ended growing something very significant...and like all entrepreneurs I could not stand to let others benefit from what I could put together...lol....no it want bad...It was a business decision...do I want to be in control of my income or did I want to gradually grow and be an employee.....I could no longer be contained. I knew greater things were in my future. and here I am today...Getting ready to fully open a retail office here within 30-45 days (till now we have been small ops) - Kidos are still GREAT...getting huge and growing up. Amanda (wife) is still as beautiful and sweet as ever... she keeps me sane  Nick is getting ready to turn 11 wow last few posts he was 8 Got back from CES a few weeks ago...Las Vegas in all its splendor and CES was amazing. I was made for this business. Trying now to plan the next Vaca...I think it is going to be a whole family holiday to an all-inclusive something or rather...I have Cruise points out the wazoo but I just don't want to cruise with kids yet....maybe not I don't know... Isn't it wild how our life choices get stranger as we mature in the areas of our life. in 2005 I was working on getting out of debt and trying to get life launched...now i feel fully launched....working on paying off the house (equitygenie.com) and continuing to grow the business. Spiritually - I have had some revelations to life...My walk with Christ is not exactly where I would like it....I think I have over complicated that ...(more on that on another post) My core beliefs remain the same; I just look at things differently now....I ask questions and challenge everything...I have always been like this in my life just stepped deeper in to it lately...Its not that I don't have faith...that is what the "church" loves to label this thought...I have faith that Jesus is the Son of God and has died for my sins but why is it wrong (or viewed wrong) to ask questions about what we are taught....I believe we do not know the whole story...I don't think we quite have it right .....sperate core beliefs from everyday living an that is where I think the failure resides....This is a complicated matter that I am sure I will revisit.... Other issues: This election is bound to suck....no choice in candidates....I am a Ron Paul fan (I lean toward libertarian views in government) - But I don't think this country is ready for someone who truly advocates personal responsibility.... Well cant to do much for my first time back in years. Later, Suave |
