Founders
The company sold, or shut, or was quietly absorbed. Either way the thing that organized your days for six years is gone, and the calendar is empty in a way that is not restful. Everyone assumes you are fine. Some days you are.
We do not start with what you should build next. We start with the next year as a container and ask what it should contain: how much work, what kind, with whom, and how many mornings that belong to no one. It gets written as a short list and it gets revised every session as the honest answers surface.
Most people leave with a smaller plan than they arrived with. Two advisory roles instead of a new company. A workshop instead of a fund. That is not a failure of ambition; it is the first year going the way you chose.
