What do you want the last ten years of your working life to look like?
It is a strange question, but probably one worth asking.
I do not really picture retirement as not working. I think I will always be building, creating, and dreaming in some capacity.
So when I think about those final working years, I do not picture counting down the days.
I picture being in the visionary seat.
I picture managing the big relationships.
I picture a team around me that is smarter than me in all the right ways.
I hope by then I have fully delegated the things I do not enjoy or do well to people who thrive in those areas. I hope I am still using creativity in ways that bring me joy. I hope I am still building things that matter.
And if I am really dreaming, I hope I have my kids working alongside me, with the chance to lift them up the way my dad did for me.
Maybe it is a weird thing to think about.
Or maybe it is something we should all think about a little more. π οΈ
