I think owning a successful business means you work with people more, not less.

There's value in powering through and getting stuff done. But there is also a time to step back and do less. You're the best person to judge what's right.
I agree with everyone else. You need a purpose. If not the business, then something else. Here's an incomplete list of things people find purpose in:
1. Religion
2. Children and family
3. Volunteering and helping others
4. Hobbies
5. Friends and community
6. Involvement in local politics
7. Climbing the corporate ladder
9. All-out hedonism - games, partying

Normal and natural. But 40 years is a long time and a lot can change. What would you like to be different?
