What If There’s More? (Spoiler alert: There is.)
A Conversation with Consultant and Author Traci Schubert Barrett about:
"How to Thrive in Your Second Act"
I like to lose clients – in a good way, of course. Last year we had about ten, and this year we’re expecting another ten clients who are selling their business. It’s something I get excited about, professionally, because it means we’ve done our job for our clients by helping them grow to the point where selling makes sense. But it’s also something that resonates with me, personally, because I just went through it myself last year when I sold Summit CPA Group to Anders CPAs + Advisors.
As entrepreneurs, we work so hard to get to that accomplishment. So much of our focus goes to painting the big picture and, at the same time, living that day-to-day.
I know there are a lot of people out there, like me, who hit a high point in the first half of their life and are now wondering: What do we have to look forward to? Is there something out there for me as exciting as that? Or is it downhill from here?
What happens when we reach our goal, a goal we may have pursued for decades? And, what happens if we don’t know how to answer that question?
