Now all we have to worry about is firing up the furnace! Here's the deal, working for yourself, as you know, is not the easiest thing in the world...sometimes, it is easier to work for others...they always have lower expectation of you than you have of yourself.
A couple other things to think about, as silly as it sounds...
1) would the job with Halliburton be stable and not subject to the whims of the market
2) there is something to be said about a great benefits package and a retirement plan. What is their disability benefit?
3) Is there equity in your business for which you could get fair value, or would you just have to "walk away" after 15 years?
4) Can you deal with the lack of autonomy working for someone else?
5) would the peace of mind of not having your own business be a fair trade-off for other things?
There are advantages and disadvantages in everything...life is risk vs reward. I am sure you will do what is best for your family...whatever the ultimate decision is!
