Last night I got the notification that my partner wanted to move on to a new company. The good thing is he is returning all of his shares back to me. So, I can find another partner without being impeded by the amount of shares I have given out. On this day I feel relieved  and exhausted looking at my company's future. I'm relieved because I can find someone with more business sense and really take this buisness to it's next level. I can find someone interested in 'Building A Legacy'. I'm exhausted because of the sheer amount of work that needs to be done and the main resource I have to do it is gone. However, I can double up on my programming time. It just could make it difficult for a while to run the business and manage client relationships while I have my head in code.

However, I'm not new to this. I managed my business when it was a third of this level just fine by myself. But, now it is 3 times larger. I think I may have found some reasonably priced contractors to assist me in the programming tasks. Also, I think I may have found the best candidate for a new partner. I never panic and that's the key to staying stable. You must take everything in stride, stay confident and strong. Panic will bring on more panic and will create a spiral effect. I'm pleased with the way things have worked out so far and I'm sure that this time next year my former partner will greatly regret his decision and my new partner and I will be the leaders of a very strong company.
