I do want to reiterate to readers that sometimes, unfortunately, it takes years to go through the re-evaluation process. I had some really low points where I wondered what I'd ultimately do with my career. Keep trying new things and the answer will ultimately present itself... Christy: Thanks for the feedback.

For someone who has stepped out, a few times, and re-evaluated things to get back on the right path, this is refreshing! Christy Joe & Amy,

Love the insight into your background, but it is also exciting to see people pursue their dreams and succeed. For someone who has stepped out, a few times, and re-evaluated things to get back on the right path, this is refreshing!

We think links are essential to any good blog. Drive readers to great information, and they'll come back and visit you again. So thanks for the links. Only one note of caution: Sometimes comments with links/URLs get stuck in our comment spam filter, so that we can manually check if the link is legitimate. So comments with links will, from time to time, take a little longer to appear on MSPmentor. -jp Erik: Thanks for the links. We think links are essential to any good blog.

This reminds me of a book I think everyone should read..."Who Moved My Cheese" by Spencer Johnson, MD. It is advertised as "An Amazing Way to Deal with Change in Your Work and in Your Life" It is a quick read and can be completed within 1 hour, which makes it an assett to any collection for the mere fact that it can be easily reviewed every so often. I personally purchased 3 hard copies - 1 for myself, and 2 to circulate amongst friends and family. Here is a link to Amazon if interested: http://www.amazon.com/Who-Moved-My-Cheese-Amazing/dp/0399144463 Joe, Let me know if you prefer for viewers not to provide links such as above... Again, great post. Have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving! -Erik Joe,

I encourage you to continue bringing some of these topics to us as I wonder if success starts in us as owners, leaders and managers before we see it in our organisations...and homes.

It's a time of review for many. So your article is right on time, and as usual, colored with a dose of humanity and humility. I follow Justin in my admiration of you, your partner, and your choices, and look forward to continuing involvement with MSP Mentor for as long as the market will have us. Marc, I'm happy to provide an ear as well, and can be reached at Rich.Forsen [at] NetworkDepot.com. Rich Joe,
