WhatNextExec?

I sold my business at 44 and retired from full time work but it took me a few years to figure out what to do with my life.

Now I work if I want to, when I want to, and with who I want to.

My life is now about legacy and helping others do the same.

If you want that → DM me "WHATNEXT?"

Co-Founder

Nicholas Maher  | Business & Leadership Growth Advisor & Mentor

I’m a business coach and advisor who actually built and sold a business that enabled me to retire from full-time work at 44.

Now I help others do the same.

If you want that → DM me "FREEDOM".

Business Growth Coach & Advisor

Hitchenor Maher

I co-founded a specialist firm of financial recruitment consultants in Leeds, grew it to £10m sales and sold it!

The company grew from me and my co-founder to more than 50 recruitment consultants and offices in Leeds, Manchester and New York, with sales of £10 million and a £5 million net fee income.

The business was acquired by an AIM listed PLC in a £10m deal.

Co-Founder & Managing Director

I retired at 44.

I choose to work but not full-time in one job.

You could say I’m semi-retired.

I choose:

→ If I work
→ When I work
→ With whom I work

Leaving lots of time for family, friends, hobbies and travel.

I post about how you can do the same:

→ Live life on your terms.
→ Build a business to enable lifestyle freedom.
→ Lessons from 30 years of business ownership.
