It's Not a Living it's a Life

I have always admired the spirit of Sun Summit Ski and Cycle in Ketchum Idaho. Everyday of the ski season they close their business from 10:00 to 2:30 to go ski. Their store's slogan is "it's not a living its a life".

I have been in the bicycle industry for just over 20 years and I am content. I have worked for others the entire time and have worked for some of the best people and companies that I could have ever hoped for. Over the years the fine line between my work and my life has blurred. This spring or early summer I will be opening a bicycle store: Salt Lake City Bicycles. I couldn't be more excited or scared.

I am prepared for the huge workload that this could become. I am trying to brace myself for some of the difficulties that are likely to arise. Mostly I am excited to take this passion that I have had for bicycles and bicycle business and put my own twist on it. I have opted to work with Trek Bicycle on this because they have a retail program that is leading the bicycle retail world. I like the idea of " you might as well do it right the first time".

This Blog is a tool to share some of the insights that I have from time to time about the process and eventually the life that will be SLCB.

It's not a living it's a life.
