A business owner argues that retirement is outdated. Instead of stepping away, entrepreneurs can stay involved as mentors to new owners, get paid well, and build legacy. It's about asking better questions about what comes next.
I don't believe in retirement. I believe you're setting up a life you don't have to retire from. And a lot of business owners who spend a lot of their life in business and, you know, they don't necessarily want to sit back and do nothing. Like they start to move into this next phase of their life, which is mentorship, and it's a legacy. I've got multiple business owners where we've created exits or creating exits right now. And for them, they're just sitting there going, okay, well, they're staying in the business in a mentorship role to the new owners. And by the way, getting paid for it quite nicely. So it's really interesting where you can actually go— there's opportunities way further and above what we might think about. All we have to do is ask some better questions.
