Sarah Duran recently shared the story of her parents, who retired after 40 years of running their own business. Their journey highlights what it means to love your work so much that retirement feels optional. True success isn’t just longevity—it’s building something worth never wanting to leave.
"Anyone who's owned a business knows it's an uphill battle requiring dedication and perseverance that most people lack. Yet when done for the right reasons and thoughtfully adapted over time, running a business becomes more than just work—it becomes one of the best ways to do what you love every day instead of merely counting down the years until retirement," writes Sarah.
