Scenario

When business partners have different midlife visions for their shared company

My business partner and I are both in our 40s and we've been running this company for eight years but lately we've been talking about completely different visions for what we want our work to mean at this stage of our lives. She wants to scale and build something that outlasts us, and I keep thinking about pivoting to work that feels more aligned with who I'm becoming, but we can't seem to have an honest conversation about whether we're still building the same thing.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who built something together are discovering they want fundamentally different things from the next chapter of their working lives.
