One of my main guys David (been with me 5 years) left me last month to be on his own now. I hired a neby right away and moved my other guys up.  Although David is going to be a tough cookie to replace.
He has put 1/3 of his wages away since he was with me for a month.  He now bought a used van and truckmount and went north to another county. With his other savings he had still enough money for a small shop and to support himself for 2 months.  Yesterday was his 1st $1000.00 day.  (I am so proud) 
It was worth loosing a great tech to here the thanks in his heart to me for teaching him. I  can see in about ten years he is going to go far.  
Sorry if I was rattling on I just feel like a proud parent today.

Gives you a tear in the eye.
Kinda like when one of your kids "get it".
Then you can say "that's my boy"!

That is the best part of the small business....passing it on. You don't find that in corporate America, only in a small business. Good Story.

Awesome man ! When I left to start my own, my boss was soo pissed off, I was glad I left, hasn't talked to him ever since.
I kept telling all my guys, if you guys want to start your own, just tell me, I'll help as much as I can in advice and guidance, no hard feelings.
I respect you for that !

I doubt he would do that for at least another year. My old tech stayed out of my market that long before he became greedy. The key is going to be if he finds enough business in his new area or not. If things go slow, he will come back to your waters.

One of the reason you try to help the guy succeed.....in the new area. Break his kneecaps if he returns.
