I too am going thru that very process. Today we are doing a plant wide inventory in preparation of me handing it over to the new guy. It is bittersweet for sure. I fully realize he will run the business his way but man it is still hard emotionally. I am putting all my effort into mentoring him and trying to make him successful. I am going to start taking more “me” time during the transition. My staff has mixed feelings over the changes. Several of them have worked for me in a previous life and moved to Fargo stating simply that they wanted to work for me and did not care in what capacity. They have all been rock stars and made great money. Ya gotta get your wallet out to entice folks to move up here!
