Oh my...the last business I had to close, that had all the proper
attibutes you mentioned above didn't allow any thing for the personal side
of things...so in my 20-20 hindsight, it wasn't really a
business...because it didn't take care of the principal(which is my fault,
since I ran it).

Guess it's a matter of perspective...if it can't feed me, then it ain't
much good to me.

Hope you new venture goes better.
