From So, What’s Next?
What would you choose again?
Imagine someone offered you your own job today. Same responsibilities, same hours, same people depending on you. Would you take it? Which part would you say yes to first? Which part would you ask someone else to own?
For a business owner, that can be a sharper question than “Am I ready to step away?” You might discover you still love meeting customers or developing the next product. You might also discover you’ve kept approving every expense because the process was built around you twenty years ago.
Try writing down one responsibility you’d choose again and one you’d hand over. For the handoff, name the person who could own it and the next decision they could make without checking with you. You can start there.
