Back in the day I built and ran a successful restaurant chain in London. For twenty odd years I was involved in every aspect of the business sometimes working day and night, dealing with staff, customers, suppliers, and of course looking after the finances. It was a full time full on job. Build and sell was always the plan, and when a couple of keen buyers turned up at the same time it was inevitable that a sale was imminent. Financial security was achieved which was always the target. I was able to bask in the satisfaction of setting a goal and getting it done. I had time on my hands to play tennis and golf, to spend evenings at home with my family and to go out in the evenings with my friends.

The euphoria felt on achieving the goal of a successful sale lasted for a couple of months, and then I felt a lethargy setting in. Motivation became a problem, going to the golf course and hitting the tennis court lost it’s gloss. My appetite for socialising became less and less. I was confused and couldn’t work out exactly what was happening to me.

It wasn’t until I went on a course to study to become a life coach that I understood the problem. In the excitement of running and selling a business I had failed to even think about what my life would be like when I was no longer involved.

After much thought and soul searching I came to the following conclusions:

1. Change of identity.

2. Lack of routine

3. Cessation of contact with staff and customers.

4. I only had family and myself to be responsible for.

5. I needed a plan.

I did the hard work to work out what this next chapter looks like. Now I'm sharing all I learnt with you so you have all the tools to make this next phase your best yet.
