After nearly 40 years of hands on intensely running a very busy hopping business, my fear about retiring was not having enough to do to keep me busy as keeping busy is what is fun and enjoyable for me. I loved what I did! I'm still waiting after 15 years of being retired to have a single boring day or a non-busy day! Wife talked me into finally selling the business and she was so right!
I will admit that I miss it sometimes but that thought passes quickly because I'm far too busy to work at any business anyway and will be for the next 50-100 years! I still do keep in touch often with many of my customer friends, their engineers, and their upper management so I can keep up on what's happening yearly in the industry. Therefore, maybe I'm still kind of a closet business owner.
