After: Transitioning

I enjoyed the book “Finish Big” by Bo Burlingham. The book tackles exiting your business but instead of only focusing on the preparation at the company itself and the financials it focuses on the mental/personal preparation founders need to do the transition to a happy life post exit. The 6 elements for a happy exit mentioned in the book are:

• Purpose: unified purpose behind what I do

• Identity: I derive a sense of who I am from what I do

• Tribe: Community of people around me who I can be part of

• Sense of Achievement: Progress, a sense that I am personally developing and making an impact/not stagnating.

• Creative Control: I come up with ideas, improve them with others and see them executed.

• Structure: Something I can commit to on a daily basis
