Heartland Family and Friends:
One thing I know for sure is things change. But that is not always bad. In fact, often times it's good. I have been asked so many times recently about what I am going to be doing that I decided to simply jot it down for anyone who is interested. Yes, I have resigned from Heartland. No, there is nothing “wrong”. Heartland is doing so well in the marketplace that if I were a smart man, I would stick around and maximize my investment. But those of you who know me best understand I have other motivations in life. It is simply time for me to move on to the next thing in life for me and it is something that, like Heartland, I am very passionate about. Before I ever tried to convince Tim Hoffman that we had what it takes to start our own RV company, I was working on a project that was near and dear to my heart. It involved training men and women in life skills so that they would be better equipped to get a good paying job and get off of government assistance – and not have to rely solely on others for their well being. It is a project that did not come to fruition because I simply did not have the resources to make it happen. Today I am in a better situation to do this and it is time to put feet to the plan and get it moving. <O
Besides the Life Center, I am going to be spending more (much needed) time with my wife and kids; doing some coaching down at NorthWood high school (go Panthers!) and will also be spending some time trying to get my other company, Livin’ Lite RV (which I started the year before we started Heartland) into a better position to succeed in the RV marketplace.<O
So – as you can see – my life is going to continue to be full- it will just not be centered around Heartland like it has been for the last five years. The thing I appreciate the most about this place is the people that I have met and built relationships with at Heartland and our customers. I have a whole new circle of friends that I hope will continue to be friends for the rest of my life.<O
Until I see you next, - be blessed – and be a blessing to someone else!
Your Friend,
Scott Tuttle
