I know what a perfect plan is, and then I have my reality. I'm probably more judgmental of myself than anyone else is. The last decade was challenging. I bought my company on the eve of the recession, and within 6 months we weren't anywhere close to our forecasts or budgets because the whole world went to shyte. When the Aussie went upside down during the recovery, it just kept hammering me. Your nut is your nut, and sometimes there's nothing left to squirrel during lean years. But I grew my brand name and my product assortment during that same time, which puts me ready to rock going forward. As long as my health rebounds. I'm working more hours/days a week than I have in 2 years. I'm optimistic for my own future.
