I was saving that line for when I finally pickup my next ride, but it was more fitting for this post. I got a PM @6speed from someone looking for issue #6 of tUNINGwERKS. I thought to myself, issue 6?!?! This dude is looking for an issue that doesn’t exist…then I realized, wait a minute…walked into the office and dug up my demos. Yes, there were 6. Time flies – it’s been 6 years as well.
For the most part, I’ve forgiven and forgotten the tUNINGwERKS saga – a company I founded, built and then had to leave/and walk away from, because I had a firm belief in exactly what it was (after all, it was my vision) >Others wanted to take it a different direction, believed they could make it “better” and felt they could do it on their own. Well, they never produced another issue after I left…
**Update** – after reading this I wanted to add that I learned a lot from this venture, although it didn’t turn out the way I wanted, it was a learning experience – particularly in regards to business with friends. I’ve approached things differently since and hopefully that’s allowed me to grow as an individual. At the time, for me it was more important to stay friends with these people and walk rather than “fight” for what was ultimately right for me and best for the company. I’m still friends with most of these people today and I can look them in the eye and know I did what was right.
For me, it was never about the money – it was about the passion and it will always stay that way. I’ve got something new up my sleeve, it’s been too long and as I said in the beginning, Legends may sleep – but they never die 🙂 Be sure to keep your eye out for Premium Euro…Stay Tuned!
