    So, you are disappointed a lot?

    I found that if I set my expectations lower, they don't disappoint as much.

    I have been. The single worst example was delivering rental equipment. It was pure chaos. My position was to counter the inherent unpredictability by controlling the things you can control carefully. The management perspective was to throw their hands in the air, say 'that's the way it is in the rental business' and let complete chaos reign.

    These days, things are pretty tame, family business and all. My brother pretty much manages it, although another brother and I are still pretty heavily invested. When we lost our dad, the brother that most everyone including dad thought would be all about the business was the one that was all about cashing out and running. My other two brothers and I (and I was the one dad figured would cash out and run) dealt with the situation by not dividing our shares of the inheritance which afforded us the critical mass to get the business back in operation and make things work. It isn't necessarily easy, but it does allow a measure of flexibility not otherwise available most of the time.
