I started my business when I was 28,I'm 49 now and wished I could offer a no fail plan but alas I cannot.It seems as though I've tried everything,I hire more people that's supposedly going to make my job easier and I end up having to hold hands and working twice as hard.

I then try the plan of just laying back,doing my job and let what happens happen and find myself losing ground to the competition and getting more stressed which leads to periods of burn-out.

I then get an infusion of new energy with new ideas and implement them into the business which starts out great and then eventually loses steam because I find myself having to deal with a personal crisis of which there were more than a few in 2011.

Finally,I just say to hell with it and do my best to play the hand that I'm dealt daily and most of all to realize that I've had a good run and that when all is said and done I've never seen a hearse pulling a moving trailer with all the stuff one has accumulated.
