I think in regards to being in touch for business, it depends on what your business is, and how many people you employ.

If you have a fairly large business, with employees numbering maybe in the hundreds, you can afford to have people on your management team that are capable of making big decisions.

At some point though, if you are a small business like we are, there likely is nobody that is going to make decisions of the same quality you will as the owner. Face it, if they were a greater decision maker than you were, they would be signing your check, not the other way around.

I don't get calls too often, and if I did as Jon mentioned, and told them not to, I wouldn't get any at all. But I would rather they have access to help if they need it.

Most of the time they don't really know if I am in town or not and I would just as soon have it that way.

I leave my phone on 24/7, very seldom get any night calls (maybe one a year), only key people have it, and they all have enough sense as to when they should bother me.

But I think they feel assured as much as I do, that if needed I will respond.

I hope to someday have the luxury of having something more turn-key, but I aint complaining one bit and am happy to be a Capitalist (if the govt allows it to continue).

Life is pretty good.
