Short personal reflection by Mike Andes about how pursuing goals and business growth can change friendships. Andes notes that ten years ago he started working full-time on Augusta Lawn Care and graduated with his class, but he is no longer in contact with classmates while he continues to work on the business daily. The piece emphasizes that growth is a choice and friends may cheer from a distance or drift away.

Your goals might outgrow your friends. One or the other will have to go. Growth is a choice, and not everyone's going to choose it with you and those friends that leave. Some might cheer for you from a distance, and others might just drift away in silence. Ten years ago, I started the business full time. Augusta Lawn Care. Ten years ago, I also graduated with my class. There's not one single person in that graduating class that I'm still in contact with today, but yet I work on the business every single day of my life.
