Phase I

Guilt. You wake up every morning at the same time as when you were working
60-80 hrs a week and after performing the three "S"'so , you realize you
have nowhere to go. You start contacting your former associates to make
sure everything at the company is ok. As time goes on and you realize the
company is surviving fine without you, another sense of guilt starts to
creep in. What's your purpose now?

You might consider mentoring guys like me who are making the mistakes
you learned to avoid. May keep that graph from turning south too
quickly and help some of those entrepreneurs who our country will
depend on for new jobs and tax revenue.

SBAs have volunteers that do just what you are suggesting. There is
pleanty of private money around to get small companies on their feet and
keep them running. Careful investing by successful entrepreneurs will
help small and large businesses more than any mismanaged government
program. You guys keep talkng. I think you are heading in the right
direction.
