The one thing i have learned along the way is to not put a fence around your potential. We create our own limits just by the way we think about success, and the fences we construct in our minds. Our potential starts with that fence, and how you define success in the first place. Once you sort that out you work on goals, followed by the actions needed to make those goals happen.
If your fence is small, so will be your potential.

Haha, yes good quotes!
Turning into a great thread, also because just a couple years ago we were considering CA..
Make plans, goals and dreams then make them happen.
I didn’t plan or dream big enough, I realized once I got there :-), I learned that one should never be so sure about what one wants, that one is not able or forgets to get more/betterer.
Im a simple guy, if I park RS and stop shoveling cash into track hobby I think I literally couldn’t bring myself to go to work..Been working hard because I have a 3 month track vacation starting Wednesday.

The other thing to consider in the master plan is “living.” If i wanted i could double our business in 12 to 18 months. Probably much sooner. But then that means working 20 hours per week goes out the window. You never know how much time you have, so balancing “living” with your desire to win at monopoly is pretty important imo.

I watch my kids milling around the house.
I told them to get up at 6am. but the total productivity of them getting up at 6am vs 9am is same.
I had a serious talk with them. summary " getting up early is useless, getting up early is to have more productivity.... so get the work done... you gained three hours to work not three hours to milling around..."
once you comprehend the concept of TIME.. trust me, this is way harder then differential calculus for a 15 year old.... then your life would be way better. and that applies to adults too...
it irks me when ppl tell me they can't ride as much as I do... but they sleep 8 hour a day....
NO ONE REMEMBERS THE NIGHT THAT THEY HAD GOOD SLEEP
ok, I need to go do more efficient stuff now so I can then burnt the I "saved" on RL.
I am a hypocrite.

Thanks again everyone for turning this into an awesome thread! We haven't made a decision yet and probably won't for a while. We are going to Germany next week to pick up a GT3T and bounce around in it for a week. A week after we return to the states, we are going back out to Cali. We'll spend a couple days each in Palm Springs, Ventura, and Santa Monica. Anyone have any thoughts on Ventura? We also need to make another visit out to Scottsdale. It's been a long time since we have been there. Keep the recommendations and lively discussion coming!

My life motto:
Success doesn't just happen, you make it happen.
I'm now on my 7th startup - my wife says this is a disease - some of them have done great, some of them not so much - but I've learned a lot from each of them and grown as entrepreneur and as a leader. My current venture is going gangbusters and a lot of that is due to lessons learned along the way (especially about listening and time management).

Can you share info on current venture? PM would be great if don't want to speak in public.
