I have been working with developemental companies for quite sometime and the perspective on the "timeline factor" is an interesting one. There are two basic types of management styles entrepreneurs and professional operators. The first requires a creative, intuitive, optimistic,mentality. The second is more efficient, sensible and realistic. Those that are entrepreneurs and supporters of entrepreneurs and are of course optimistic believe things happen faster than truly required, if they didn't believe so....they wouldnt stick it out to make it work because it can take a while to develope a company from scratch...especially if they hit a bump in the road, like scmi did last November. We have a major product break-through that can revolutionize the industry in the works....stay tuned(no timeline) but soon. M
