A Somber Farewell to BossHatch

Everything that begins has an end.
Sometime in October I clearly remember getting an email from Kelly inviting me to replace some blogger who decided this position wasn’t for him. Fortunately, I was chosen to fill the position.
This was one of those things that you say “Hey, I think I can do it… why not try it out?” Luckily, I received an email MONTHS after applying for the job. It was a big and pleasant surprise which bought me bragging rights against Journalism and Business majors (seeing as how I am an Industrial Engineer filling a journalist-like position regarding business). However, with the fun comes tedium – and writing about young entrepreneurs day-to-day is not easy. School caught up with me and I needed some help, which is why my friend Alejandro briefly served as a co-blogger.
It is impossible to consistently run a business that does not make money… unless it is a front for some sort of drug ring (I kid). The best thing to do in a business, when the economy goes sour and you must make cuts, is to find which areas have the potential for the least amount of growth. As those prostate commercials say… I had a growing problem. Thus, the site and I will be taking our final bows.
I just want to thank everyone at b5media for giving me this chance and all of my readers for sticking with me at BossHatch. I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything (not even a Klondike Bar); and if the stars eventually realign, I may be back for an encore. Until then, I guess this is it for us.















Don’t think for a second that you won’t be missed… Your quick wit makes you wildly endearing – I expect we will see great things from you some day.
Thanks Kelly :)
You’re right, Jim, blogging is both a great high and a low grind—depends on when you’re asked. I really like the cartoons you’ve started doing and look forward to seeing your quirky sense of humor elsewhere.
Live long and prosper, as Spock would say (before your time:)
I certainly will miss you!
Hey man, we never got it movin like we should have… I’ll tell you what: Consider yourself a guest blogger on Franchisepick.com, or http://www.franbest.com. Email me when you’ve got a worthy post and we’ll keep your name and wit in the public eye. Keep in touch.
Sean
Thanks everyone :)
