I should have written this update right after the last post because it was only a few days later that I got a call informing me that MKA wasn't finding the interest they had expected in Chile. So it seemed the whole thing was being called off. But then I heard from a friend, who would also be going, that it could still happen but maybe not until June or July. So we'll see what happens.
While I was preparing for this trip, I started interviewing engineers to help keep my business here going. I didn't end up needing to find someone to fill my role but I did hire an engineer to help me with my workload. It's a big step for me and one I had been semi-resisting but now that I've made the plunge, it's a big help to have someone that can be in the office working while I'm scoping new projects or dealing with various questions and crises or just generally trying to run the business.
