- The OPSA Team - We really have a great group. I wish I was closer to the office so I could be there more often. I get there about once every six to eight weeks and it's always great to be there.
- Our Customers - The great majority of my customers are great to work with. Most are very intense when it comes to getting the best deal for their companies' and are fun to be with and get to know.
- The OPSHK Staff - I haven't been to Hong Kong in a while and I feel a bit detached. When I'm there the group is pretty much all business, although I have seen them loosen up a bit. My family had a great time when we had lunch with the staff during our March 2006 trip to HK and Beijing.
- Travel - I get to travel to some fun places and have great control over when I travel. When I left my corporate job I thought I'd miss all the nice hotels and resorts at industry events, but I really don't at all.
- Flexibility - This business offers great flexibility. In fact, I work as much late at night and early in the AM as I do during the midday.
- Variety and Learning - Working with many different kinds of businesses and on many different products I am really learning a great deal about manufacturing. I'm not an engineer, and I've never played one on TV, but I'm picking up lots of the lingo and can talk pretty intelligently about all kinds of tooling, materials, drawings, and processes.
- Small Company Culture - Although we've grown quite a bit the last few years, we are still a pretty small group. It's great to know everything about the business and to make decisions about where we're going and how we'll get there.
- Cool Factor - I must admit that I like the cool factor in what we do. More than half our company is in China for goodness sakes.
That's most of the fun points. As you see they swamp the one or two difficult things.
