Makes sense. So many people get up in arms when a competitor starts trying to do their job. That doesn't make sense to me... There is so much to do, so many challenges out there to address. If someone wants to do exactly what you're doing, why not let them? Most people struggle to find a worthy successor. It's a gift. Take the opportunity to move on to the next phase in your life, which has a good shot at being even better. You're smarter now, after all.

I know some people feel they only have one good idea in them, but I think that results from either a) aiming too high on subsequent rounds, or b) phoning it in. But if you love to work, just start small and you'll avoid both of those things.
