I found this something really important where you are lucky if you find the right wife or the right business partner. And i was blessed by both. I had great Business Partners and we had a lot of fun and did very well at what we did. I was able to retire at 60 and return to something i wanted to do. I am now on my eighth book in retirement so i have done pretty much what i want. Thank you. Thank you.
