It sounds like this was one of the big mistakes. Hindsight being 20/20 and all, it's hard to see it all now, but it sounds like he could've attempted to transition some of his best business relationships into personal ones, with lunches and/or some other kinds of personal meet-ups. Of course, enjoying the work, it does sound like he sold too soon!
This is still a personal anecdote though. As per the article, we aren't very good at predicting or evaluating what makes us happy. We think retiring and doing "other things" is what we want, but is it? It might be working, running a business, or golfing. You have to figure that out for yourself, and ideally in a way that doesn't require irreversible decisions.
