As i type this entry at 12:03am EST, i am again reminded what I love about owning a business. Its the freedom of knowing that if i want to do work in my home office at midnight and try to change my life and that of my family and employees, no one can stop me! And when i get on a thought trail in the middle of the night, I am hard to stop.

I have decided to sell businesses, buy businesses, fire people, hire people, change people's reality for both the better and worse, all the while never once worrying about overtime, lack of access to my computer, cleaning crews or login procedures, you see, I own the joint! And it feels good.

For anyone considering starting a business, i will caution or encourage you that if you really have the stomach for it or a passion for an idea, you will be shot by an arrow that Cupid would wake up in sweats with fear of! I promise you that!

As a business owner, I never shut it down. I went on vacation at the end of year at a swank resort in Florida, have a $1000 a night suite for my wife and kids, a spa to die for, 2 pools, beautiful beaches, warm weather, sun and fun at my finger tips, miles of beach and the flattest ground known to man to run and the entire time i am thinking about my newest start up idea.

What will I call it? How will i fund it? Will I have partners? What URL should I secure? Which of my 6 development firms will i hire to build the site and do the optimization? Do i outsource it to my developers in India who are cheaper but challenged with their desire to be so literal? Do i write the content for the site or have someone else do it? What are my corporate objectives? And the parade of thoughts go one for 5 days and 4 nights!

And can i tell you, it was the best vacation i had in years. You see, a business owner is so adept at mental multi-tasking that i can play with my kids at the beach, have cocktails, talk to my wife, answer e mails, think about dinner reservations, plan the route of my morning run and which spa treatment by whom and never miss even the slightest detail! And they call me crazy! HAHA! I laugh at those bogged down with minute details! I am a big thinker. Big ideas. Big dreams! Always have been. Always will be.

The Blackberry is just a mechanical version of my brain. Calls, e mails, texts, schedules, documents, thoughts, web access. I look at my Blackberry as a mirror image. So you see, i live off of less than 5 hours of sleep a day. Any more and i am lethargic and grumpy because i might miss an opportunity to fine tune my global strategy or my opinion of a new hire or a suit i want to buy or a flight i need to take or a contact i need to cultivate... And the song goes on in my head all day and all night.

Pleasant dreams!!!! Enjoy them for both of us, because i am far too involved at this moment to sleep. I will have plenty of time to relax when i am gone!
