There’s a process of letting go—-

Stop accepting 2/3rds of your current meeting invites immediately.

Of course, available for high-level consultation, on an as-needed basis.

Direct your focus and energy on to projects that interest you.

If you haven’t already done so, start identifying and mentoring individuals who might replace you in the business. Shift your responsibilities/workload to them now.

Think of yourself as a consigliere, whispering advice in their ears.

Assuming you’ve got good people, in 12 months reduce your time commitment to 1-2 days a week.

Then quietly disappear. Good luck!
