Well this may seem odd, but here it goes anyways.

A pseudo mentor of mine has been hammering me for the past year or so to "think globally". After much conversation, the point he is trying to get accross is to think on a much much larger scale. Sure, thats great... if you want that sort of thing. He is absolutely convinced i am wasting my college degree if i plan on working in the field for the rest of my carreer... i dont see it that way.

There lies the problem. I am not certain i want to conquer the world per se. THis is where you guys come in. What motivates you to grow your business (or stay small)? Money is not enough of a motivator for me... what else drives you guys?

I was investigating some things last night and came across the Valley Crest Companies. wow, what an opperation. Im sure i could get to that size if i wanted, but why?

The last thing on my mind regarding growth is this: as a private company, what is your exit strategy? Obviously you would like to see financial reward at the end of ones carreer, but how are you going to collect on it?
