Rob,

Sounds like a fine decision, I wish you all the best. It’s been a pleasure working with you and I hope to read about even bigger things in this space. And if all fails, you can always come and record that karaoke Celine Dion cd.

Calvin – thanks. I definitely expect this to be a time of introspection and insight like you experienced.

Josh – Thanks… I’m still a big wuss compared to your commitment to Blue Violin. Very admirable.

dSims – definitely get her to double her salary. My wife is talking about needing to do a year long, unpaid internship… that doesn’t fund full-time-focus-on-side-projects very well.

I also find it difficult to balance a “real job” with side projects. Especially as free-time also gets filled with “real life”. So I have about ten incomplete side-projects I need a sabbatical… or for the wife to double her salary.

Congrats on your decision. It takes a lot of courage to burn the boats.

Hey Man,

Congratulations and good luck at Premier. When I left my job of 4 years a few years ago to do a startup, I had a lot of doubts that I was doing the right thing. But ultimately, I learned so much more about myself, what I was at my old job, and where I want to be after I left.
