What can I do to keep the traction and fast pace I thrive on in getting my company launched?

yeah probably they are. Secretly strategizing behind my back, then come approach me again when they realize my value and worth, and why they need me. Similar to dealing with silly young girls/immature women. This is why I always keep two steps ahead of the game, im becoming manic. Probably not the best time to say, your all fired (even though they don't really work for me) clean house, drop the dead weight, build a new team- setback. Maybe I can just get one investor on board, give him 49% equity and make this damn thing happen.

Create power and control . Investor first is a good start.

I feel as though I have that. The thing also, I'm 27, these other chaps are well to their 50's + and have successful manufacturing companies. This is my first, an I ave nor real substantial companies ve built and sold behind me. Other then industry experience from working with another company in the past.

In the next two weeks, I can bring in some decent sized investment. Th equip is 6.3MM, but i think i can talk the manuf down to building it at cost for a royalty w/ lease option. bring the startup cost down to 1MM or so, should be achievable. Just wish people would tell me whats going on underneath. Is it supposed to be like this at the top? Or am I maybe wrong about something, or blind to something obvious?

Yes, you're right, that is exactly what happened. I overworked myself to the point where I had nothing else to do, and into a self-inflicted frenzy. While everyone else needed to digest a bit. It turns out, two people who were partners, had a chat, one bought out the other so he can work with me and the other will be a consultant for us in innovation, it is very good for everyone. The other fellow, kind of is just by the wayside, doing his own thing, and will be a supplier for us. The other side contacts for my expanded production replied with amazing offers and invitation into a very large, new overlapping innovative market. Things are now progressing as to plan, just took a week or so. It seems they all just want to work with me and needed time to get set-up to do so, along with some very inspiring and positive remarks for me.

For the future, I will heed your advice, to improve myself in manner of effectively handling these situations in a calm productive manner.

Thank you all for your feedback. This is a very good site/place for entrepreneurs, as we can sometimes feel alone in the struggles, but there is a whole community of us who understand how it is and can work with each other.

I'm happy to read this. Now you will go on with product launch with a perfect attitude, and your full brain power. Thus you will be successful, for sure :o)
