Hi Forum members,
I’m posting with the permission of the Forums staff, who gave me the green light to post a query and include my contact information.
I’m a reporter working on a story for a financial publication about the challenges of life after the buyout. I know lots of folks daydream about what they’d do with a nice buyout offer, but from what financial and career advisers tell me, I understand the transition can actually be pretty stressful. I’ve heard a lot about boredom, anxiety, and the unforeseen difficulties of starting your second chapter.
I’m interested in speaking with folks who took a nice buyout or sold their business at a relatively young age. What's it really like to suddenly shift gears and try your hand at consulting, starting a business, launching a second career or living a life of leisure? I’m particularly interested in what the buyout experience is like for people who aren’t sure exactly what it is they’re supposed to be doing.
I’d be happy to provide more information about the article and the publication with anyone who contacts me, of course.
Thanks for your consideration,
Anne
