Retirement

January 5 2005 at 12:13 PM		 John Long  
Interesting thread going on with another bb.

Retirement sounds really good. I'm 55 and it's been my goal to retire at 55. Any suggestions for how to turn the "reins" over? Got two sons still with me in the biz, 2 others not interested.

Already have delegated most of the day to day stuff. Mainly take care of fixing things nobody else can and marketing. Have an s-corp but the wife and I are the only officers.

Any Ideas?

Thanks,
JOhn L.

54. Of course I just turned 55 so I guess that didn't work so well.

YOU GUYS ARE A LOT OF HELP!!! ha ha!

We carpet cleaners are ALL sick aren't we? I suppose we'll all die with a buffer or a wand in hand. But I have to agree with Don, what little I have done with encapping so far, it sure is easier on a person!

I suppose if I retired, I'd just come in every day and pester the boys anyway, but that word Retirement does have a nice ring.

Thanks everyone,

John L.
