I never quit the day job at the insurance company. They keep promoting me, which is nice ($$$$$), and now I see critical race theory training coming down the pipe. I'm not super excited about having to choose between integrity and a paycheck. I guess that's what happens when the parent company is based in California.
Seed sales quadrupled when covid hit. Profit margin doubled. We've paid off every last bit of our debt in one year. Business value went from zero to seven figures overnight. I don't think it's going to stay there, I think it's driven by the lockdowns. But someone wants to buy it from us now and gamble on the future. I can't work two jobs anymore, and the wife is too sick to keep up this pace. We close probably tomorrow. I can't wait to sign before these people change their minds.
We're committed to helping the new owners through this busy season, which is going to suck. After that, it's convincing the wife not to start another business, traveling, hiking, fixing up the house and the grounds, and general fucking around. Right now we're $40,000 in orders behind in shipping. Just having that go away would be a huge weight lifted.
