It’s so easy to get caught up in the day-to-day. The business needs you. The team needs you. The clients need you. And when you’ve been in that role for years—sometimes decades—it’s easy to let your own vision for the future take a back seat.

But without a clear vision for what’s next, it’s almost impossible to step away without some regret.

That’s why this pillar—Vision for What’s Next—is so critical. It’s about more than just the business. It’s about your life. Your relationships. Your health. Your passions. It’s about creating a future that feels alive—not just checking a box and moving on.

So if you’re a founder and you haven’t taken the time to imagine what’s next, I encourage you: start now. Even small steps—conversations, journaling, dreaming—can open the door to a future that’s deeply aligned with who you are.

This is your chance to design a life by choice—not by default.
