Have you ever wondered what’s next after building the business you once dreamed about?
What happens when your business no longer needs you every day?
How do you reinvent yourself after reaching all your entrepreneurial goals, and what if there’s more waiting for you beyond your CEO title?
In this episode of the Simplify to Scale Show, I sit down with Kris Plachy to explore this pivotal moment for visionary women entrepreneurs and what it looks like to move beyond the CEO role into what Kris calls your “sage era.”
Kris is the coach you call when success doesn’t feel as satisfying as it should because she has spent decades helping powerhouse women build empires, and now helps them figure out what to do after that. Through intimate coaching experiences and her signature Sage approach, Kris helps women strip away roles, expectations, and shoulds to uncover what they truly want next.
We navigate the exciting and sometimes challenging transition that comes when your business can run without you. We explore the feelings of restlessness, guilt, and uncertainty that often arise for women who have built successful companies, and we share insights on how to disentangle yourself from the daily grind.
We also discuss how to embrace becoming a strategic advisor or consultant in your own business and what it looks like to step into a new chapter, uncover new dreams, and reconnect with what truly matters to you.
If you're feeling unsettled after building your business or wondering what your next chapter could look like, this episode is full of inspiration and actionable steps.
In this episode, we explore:
- Navigating identity after business success
- Handling guilt and restlessness post-achievement
- Disentangling the founder from daily operations
- Transitioning to a strategic advisor role
- The importance of intentional exploration and play
- Stepping into the “sage” era
- The power of leadership for scaling
"It's very daunting to be a visionary who can't find the vision. She knows that what she doesn't want is what she's doing, but she doesn't know what she wants to do next."
