This is the year I start my five year retirement plan.

@Tradcp As I have said elsewhere, the transition isn't the problem. I must plan to ensure the future success of my company as I step back over the next 5 years - if I last that long.

@SchoolBelle the transition I meant was the one from working to not working. The sense of usefulness and working as part of a team within my profession at least. I do understand what you mean though.

@Tradcp Yes, I understand that but it is not a problem. I will never stop working until I turn orange and need an extraordinary comb-over.

I am already handing some control and some equity to my two Project Directors. This process wi continue over 5 years, until they own 48% of the company between them.

We will, in the meantime, formulate a plan for how we deal with the next stage.

@smiler2012 It's not the transition that's the problem, it's the legacy.

I have put the plan "into action" at exactly the right time.

@Degbeme Would you eat an eye roll?

@SchoolBelle Sushi.

@Degbeme damn I’m retiring in like 4-6 years

@smileylovesgaming It's a retirement plan that will take 5 years to come to fruition.

@kwood1 That's one way to put it.

@smileylovesgaming In 5 year's time, I will be 70.

@KiwiBird 😂😂😂 Touché!

I will be gradually stepping back from my business over the next 5 years, passing more and more executive powers (and rewards) to my two young Project Directors.
