Great News!!
I sold my business (along with a few other shareholders) last year after a 25 year ride, building it up from around $2mil pa revenue to $180mil. I'm now in the same position as you - agreed/required to stay for 3 years with all sorts of non-competes and covenants/warranties. Of course, seller's remorse has set in big-time, and I've realised that I'm probably the world's worst employee - working for a big corporate machine after so many years of entrepeneurship is a major change. But relief is at hand - a big help to me when I get streesed out with the new corporate BS is to go look at or drive the GT which was bought with part of the proceeds of the sale - life is sweet again!
