As a business owner, you know what it’s like to lie awake at 2 a.m. Maybe it has happened when you are excited and full of new ideas for your business.

The vacation may really be a half time season of 1 to 3 years, to prepare for the rest of your life.
For many, they may choose to remain “retired” from the career but not transition into a new work season of service, sacrifice and significance.
For a few, they may choose a significant work that defines legacy and moves mountains for someone greater than thee.
