Rewarding and at the same time frustrating and all consuming. Ask people who have been / are business owners. I guess when you become successful you get past the “living the business” stage…to a point. Miss some of it, don’t miss a lot of it. ---

Just started my new gig today: ![http://www.manyonline.org/sites/default/files/articles/new_hadley_logo_0.jpg](http://www.manyonline.org/sites/default/files/articles/new_hadley_logo_0.jpg) **Hadley Exhibits** (Estimator). Long established company. Does work for some very well know clients. They’ve gotten more into the exhibit industry lately but still do trade shows and have some other non-mainstream projects that are crazy interesting. Last place turned out to be the same company it was 20 years ago, just bigger with bigger problems. Realized after about 6-7 months they haven’t changed, and maybe never will. Turns out the cool projects listed on their website are more a rarity than the norm. Not too many exciting things came through the shop in my tenure. Looking forward to working with a company that know how to truly knock people off their feet with some wow factor. ![http://hadleyexhibitsinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Peoria.jpg](http://hadleyexhibitsinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Peoria.jpg) ![http://hadleyexhibitsinc.com/wp-content/gallery/retail-zippo-store/zippostore1.jpg](http://hadleyexhibitsinc.com/wp-content/gallery/retail-zippo-store/zippostore1.jpg) ![https://tedconfblog.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/slurry-wall_credit-jin-lee.jpg?w=640](https://tedconfblog.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/slurry-wall_credit-jin-lee.jpg?w=640) ![https://image-store.slidesharecdn.com/cc6b3429-3c11-4b66-b584-bc355e7dd74c-large.jpeg](https://image-store.slidesharecdn.com/cc6b3429-3c11-4b66-b584-bc355e7dd74c-large.jpeg) ![http://hadleyexhibitsinc.com/wp-content/gallery/custom-furniture/furniture22.jpg](http://hadleyexhibitsinc.com/wp-content/gallery/custom-furniture/furniture22.jpg) ![http://hadleyexhibitsinc.com/wp-content/gallery/capitol-visitor-center/capitolvisitorcenter12.jpg](http://hadleyexhibitsinc.com/wp-content/gallery/capitol-visitor-center/capitolvisitorcenter12.jpg) ![http://hadleyexhibitsinc.com/wp-content/gallery/ellis-island/Guaranty-2.jpg](http://hadleyexhibitsinc.com/wp-content/gallery/ellis-island/Guaranty-2.jpg) ![http://hadleyexhibitsinc.com/wp-content/gallery/jamaican-bay/jamaicabay8.jpg](http://hadleyexhibitsinc.com/wp-content/gallery/jamaican-bay/jamaicabay8.jpg) ---
