[Rhodes22-list]Bob's Odyssey growing

Thu Oct 21 13:19:49 EDT 2004

Ed, thanks for the wise advice.  You are right.  This business has been a 
lot of fun and is comming along at a pace above my expectations.  I don't 
want to grow too fast and implode.  Rental will be my next phase.  Then I 
hope to start surveying and brokering boats.  It might become a full time 
job at that time.  Another thing I have been considering is hiring an 
instructor away from my competition, he has expressed an interest, leaving 
them with just one instructor.  I am a little hesitent to take this step 
since I would essentially be giving up some control of the direction of the 
company.  If there are any entrapeneural wizs out there who have Ideas, 
speak up.  Thanks Bob
