I retired 2 years ago and don’t regret a single thing. My time finally is my own. I never have to think about competitors, shareholders, regulators, vendors, distributors, dealers or customers. No more meetings, trade shows, or obligatory business hobnobbing. No more Salesforce, spreadsheets, budgets, flowcharts, ISO steps or trademark filings. No more scraping ice off my car to drive home in the dark, or long sunny days stuck in the office, or having to ask permission to take a vacation, only to have the boss emailing me about whatever whim occurred to him during my hard earned time off. I actually enjoyed much of my career but being retired is fabulous.
