When business partners outgrow the demands they created

My business partner and I started our company when we were young and hungry, but now we're both in our late 50s and the 80-hour weeks that used to energize us are wearing us down, yet we can't figure out how to scale back without feeling like we're giving up on our dreams. We built something that requires our old pace but we don't have our old bodies.
