Very genuine, honest and has no issue with sharing knowledge and helping other bloggers out. As somebody that is in the same town as him it would have been easy for him to have shut me out and in fact I thought at one stage he'd done just that (my bad!), but instead he has been supportive and friendly. I'm hoping to work more closely with him at some stage, but in the meantime wish him every success. BTW, a fascinating series this Alex!

I have been sporadic over at PDP, but I hope to see some new posts from you when I get back over there. Your words are always worth reading! @Dean - Thank you so much for the positive vibes, Dean. When it comes down to it, the relationships that we have with people are based on our perceptions of them, so I'm glad that I have consistently left you with a good impression! @John - You have already answered the question, John! When all of my business ventures are at a success level where I feel like there is nothing holding me back and I feel like I have 100% room to move, that's when I'll start on those 9's and 10's. :) @Lyman – Great to hear from you, as always, Lyman!

I think the most important ingredients for my personal happiness are certainly my wonderful wife and our ability to live our life according to our own liking without any external factors holding us back.

Not only does it help the momentary happiness when we realize this, it's also a great way to keep ourselves on track with where we want to end up in life. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Aaron.

You are such a supportive and generous person, it is no wonder that you have accomplished so many wonderful things! @Sarah - I couldn't have put it any better myself - love the work, but just don't spend as many hours doing it! They say that if you love your work that you'll never "work" another day in your life, and I agree with that on a surface level However, I also (at least right now) have an obvious difference between "work" time and "play" time in my schedule every day! @ Jenny – Thanks for your positive feedback!

I am most happy when I spend time outdoors trail running and cycling 5 days/week, and go to bed exhausted and smiling. My goal is to reduce my work hours in the next 3 - 5 years so I can create more time for doing what I love. Don't get me wrong, I do love my work, but I'd rather love it ~20-25 hrs/week instead of full-time! Aaron, I love your definition of happiness.
