re: Calling any/all Small Biz owners

Obviously, there's no way to know for sure (which is true of nearly every company), but I do believe that it's on very solid footing.

You're right though, I had the advantage of being a single guy w/ no kids, so the decision was much easier. I'm pretty sure I still would have done it though, because I knew my people skills earned the companies I worked for a lot of money.

I do believe it will be around for a while, because it's a pest control company and that is pretty important in SW Fla.

No doubt that the responsibilities and roles will change for you, but if I can run a successful business, anyone can.
