There is no finish line.

I have many friends who run. They run marathons, half-marathons, etc. Most of which say that it is rewarding to "just finish the race." It is good enough to just cross the finish line. Unfortunately, for those in business, there is no finish line.

I've said for years that I'd love to work at a company where after a certain goal or milestone was met, the company closes its doors, its mission disintegrates, and every employee leaves with a one million dollar check in their pocket. In actuality, each milestone leads to another and many companies would prefer to last forever.

The reward for this pie eating contest is more pie...I hope you are hungry (and never lose your appetite).
