Hello all. Here’s my story…
From 1979 - 2003, I rose through the ranks to become President of a mid-sized distribution company. After a merger/acquisition with a fast growing public company, I made enough to "comfortably" retire in my late 40's.
Since then, I have had both the same joys and frustrations that many mention on this forum. I have enjoyed working out more, reading, traveling all over the world, time with friends and family.
Yet, like most ambitious people, I keep asking myself, "Is there something more?" "Am I really done with my career?" etc.
I would tell anyone today that retiring in your 30's, 40's, or 50's, really makes one come face to face with the reality that we are all so much more than our jobs, careers, or status symbols captured and enjoyed.
I don't have my final answer. I am still struggling through, "Get another CEO Gig" or "Fully pursue all my other passions in life".
I really feel I need to be creative in this situation and would appreciate any advice or info. I guess my question is this “How do you replace that sense of accomplishment that you got before through work with a new set of challenges and commitments.
