In reply to Dan Bowser. Try my book Hunting in a Farmer's World. I discuss that extensively.

In reply to John F. Dini. I agree, John. In fact, I use the same language you just used — "Move towards, not away, from something."

Thanks Dan. I agree that Hunters need to move towards, no away from something. We will talk about enjoyment, but I think we’ll keep it in the “Enjoy – Life After Business” section.

In reply to Jim marshall. Thanks Jim. I think this leaves some flexibility (such as in Building Value) while maintaining an overall theme.

I thought you had pretty well made the transition already. I hope there will be some form for you to continue to, when you notice other aspects of the business. As you know I I value and appreciate your insights.

In my experience working with business owners who say they want to exit, I’ve found it helpful to include some of the Enjoyment in the Plan section. If an owner doesn’t know what he or she will do next, they probably won’t exit. There will be something wrong with every offer or prospect.
I look forward to your future sharing.
